BEFORE
This filter is designed to filter the water in small lakes and ponds,
and uses two types of filter media:
1. Mechanical filter media - High surface area sponge media
traps solid waste, maintaining clean and healthful water for both
fish and plants.
2. Biological filter media - Inert media (bio-balls) offer a large sur-
face area and high porosity that allow the development of ben-
eficial bacteria, which breaks down pollutants such as ammonia
and nitrites.
The pressurized filter carton contains:
• Filter assembly
• Bio-ball bags
• O-ring
• Owner's manual
• Hardware kit
• 2 - 1" hose adapters
• 1 - handle
• 1 - cap
• 1 - O-ring (large)
• 2 - replacement hinges
1. Remove the filter assembly from the carton.
2. Loosen the 6 latches and remove the cover from the tank.
3. Remove the bottom plate from inside the tank, leaving the white
mesh grate in place.
