Cleaning, Care And Maintenance - EHEIM Aquastar 54 Mode D'emploi

5. Cleaning, Care and Maintenance

5.1 quarium
• Remove other visible waste and dead plant parts (EHEIM plant forceps).
• Every 3 to 4 weeks (depending on the stocking too often) perform partial water changes: exchange about 1/3 of water against
appropriately-tempered water; it immediately cleans the floor bottom (substrate cleaning kit); after changing the water, add
water treatment agents.
Occasionally (if necessary) clean panes, eliminate algae and chalk residues (with sponge, Screen wash). Clean floor with EHEIM
sludge cleaner. Control water quality.
• Clean the filter only, if the water flow is noticeably reduced.
5.2 Interior filter
G Disconnect the mains plug. Remove the filter canister by pulling upwards. By exerting with your finger a little pressure
on the top of the motor housing, you will prevent the suction cups from slipping. The complete motor housing remains
in the aquarium and does not have to be removed.
H Open the filter cover. Remove the cartridge and rinse lightly under lukewarm flowing water or replace (order no. for
2008: 2617080). The cart ridge can be used 2-3 times.
ttention: Never carry out water change and cleaning of the cartridge at the same time.
I The impeller should not be removed for cleaning. Vigorously rinse the canister and impeller and ensure free movement
of the im peller.
Install the cleaned cartridge back into place, close filter cover and insert the complete canister back into the motor
hous ing.
