ADVICE FOR USE

The vacuum cleaner NEWA Pgr gravel cleaner has considerable power, and so is ideal for every kind of aquarium.
It is also provided with a strainer which ensures that gravel and small fishes can not reach the suction pump.
Always remember to attach the protection grid (See picture 7).
For the most efficient use of the cleaner read the following advice:
1) Introduce the end of the vacuum pipe into the gravel at least 2-3 cm.
2) Move the vacuum sideways and up and down in order to disturb the gravel and make suction of sediment easier.
3) Avoid suction of coarse pieces of dirt or leaves which could clog the strainer.
4) When the water level inside the filter box rises above the filter cartridge, this means that the filter bag is blocked and must be rinsed
under running water.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

potentially harmful to the chemical balance of the aquarium. Use only warm water and a soft cloth.

they are attached to the impeller chamber. If necessary it is possible to clean the impeller, the rotor and the impeller chamber.
