TROUBLESHOOTING

No filter operation / water flow
Always ensure the power has been turned on.
1
Check that your impeller and shaft are seated correctly and not damaged
2
in any way.
Ensure the impeller is free of any type of blockage and can rotate freely
3
inside the motor head.
Self priming and air pocket problems
Ensure you have set up the filter on your tank with all of the pipes
1
connecting straight from the top of the tank directly to your filter without
having any kinks and as little bends as possible.
Check that you have connected the hose connector valve correctly to the
2
unit by fully pushing down the lever.
All of your entrance pipework must have its connections beneath water
3
level to ensure that no air bubbles are able to enter the system.
If you have purchased extra filter media on top of what is supplied with the
4
unit be careful not to overfill the unit as this can affect its priming and
filtering capabilities.
If you needed to press the blue button more than once when first priming
5
the filter we suggest that you should prime the filter from scratch again
following the above tips. The most important thing is that you are not
letting any air into your filter system as this will affect the priming of the
filter as well as the long term operation of your filter.

'Self priming and air pocket problems' troubleshooting section.
Inhibited water flow
Ensure that your hoses have been correctly joined together as per the

completing a water change will allow better water flow.
