Handling
Installation and Operation (picture 1)
Unpack a filter cartridge and place it
together with the filter foam as shown
in picture 1.
Attention: The green side of the
filter cartridge has to point at the
front side of the filter. The front side
of the foam grid is marked with „Front"
and should point at the front side of the
filter.
When using a Tetra AquaArt Aquarium,
®
the Tetratec EasyCrystal FilterBox

this along the rail to the FilterBox. (see

Care and
Maintenance
For crystal clear water the filter
cartridge (EasyCrystal
®
should be replaced every 4 weeks.
In order to change the EasyCrystal
FilterPack cartridge (D) unplug the
power plug, simply replace the
cartridge and plug in the filter again.
That's it! (see pictures 7 and 8)
EasyCrystal
®
cartridges are available at your local
retailer.
If you add remedies for the fish into
the water please use an EasyCrystal
FilterPack cartridge without activated
carbon, as activated carbon absorbs
most remedies. These filter cartridges
are available at your local retailer.
® The EasyCrystal
(E) should be cleaned only rarely. If
the filter foam is clogged take it out of
the housing and rinse it out – ideally
in water you have siphoned from the
aquarium before in order to keep many
of the useful bacteria cultures.
The Bio Filter Balls (F) can be used
repeatedly. If needed, they can be
rinsed in hand-hot water. To do this,
remove the tray with the Bio Filter Balls
(see picture 9), clean them and place
the tray back into the EasyCrystal
FilterBox.
Should you need replacement Bio
Filter Balls please use Tetratec
