do not yet connect the electrical components to the power supply.
Please observe the following notes regarding commissioning the JUWEL filter system
Bioflow Super:
The JUWEL filter system Bioflow Super consists of:
- 1 heater - AquaHeat
- 1 heater holder
- 1 pump
- 1 white filter wool - bioPad
- 1 carbon sponge, packaged - bioCarb
6
- 1 green nitrate remover sponge, packaged - Nitrax
- 1 blue filter sponge fine - bioPlus fine
1. Insert the base of the pump into the pump holder of the filter and firmly push it
into position. In that context, the pump outlet faces in the direction of the nozzle
opening. Confirm the proper arrangement of the gasket in the nozzle opening
(it is used to minimize the transmission of vibrations).
2. Carefully attach the nozzle from the outside through the opening to the pump
outlet and ensure its firm connection.
3. Insert the heater mount into the guide rail of the filter divider.
4. Insert the heater from above into the heater holder.
5. Now start preparing the filter sponges by removing the plastic packaging from the
carbon sponge and the nitrate remover sponge. Thoroughly rinse the blue filter sponge
only under running water.
6. After that, insert the blue filter sponge, the nitrate remover sponge, the carbon
sponge and the filter wool on top into the filter basket and push it into the filter
housing.
7. Place the filter cover on the filter housing.
8. The JUWEL filter system Bioflow Super is now ready for operation.
The JUWEL Aquarium Filter System is a biological filter system. For it to work
effectively, bacteria cultures will need to grow inside the blue sponges. This process
can take up 6-8 weeks for the filter to fully mature. Consequently we recommend to
decorate and plant the aquarium and add just a few (3-5) hardy fish in order to help
the maturation process. Please test the water on a weekly basis to monitor the water
conditions and once the water is safe you can begin to add more fish.
