Starting Your Filter
Method 1
1. The primer for your canister filter is located at the
top of the head unit. Open the primer by unscrewng
the cap. Fill the canister using water siphoned from
the aquarium or use a clean water jug (add water
conditioner if using tap water). Fill the canister slowly
as it may be difficult to judge when the filter is full. Once
the canister is full, replace the cap.
2. Now the canister filter is ready to be plugged in.
3. Due to the volume of water in the canister filter, it
may be necessary to top up the water in the aquarium,
particularly if water has been siphoned from the
aquarium to the filter. Add water conditioner to water
that is added.
Method 2
1. Temporarily detach the outlet from the tubing and
create a siphon by sucking on the tube. Once the
siphon begins, lower the outlet tube into a bucket.
2. Wait until the canister is completely full of water. You
will know this when the water starts to flow into the
bucket.
3. Place your thumb over the open end of the tubing
and affix the outlet pipe to your aquarium.
4. Now the canister filter is ready to be plugged in.
5. Due to the volume of water in the canister filter, it
may be necessary to top up the water in the aquarium.
Add water conditioner to water that is added.
