Maintenance - TMC Power Filter 125 Instructions Manual

USEFUL TIP: When carrying out any maintenance to the filter, we recommend that a
plastic sheet or something similar is placed underneath the filter to catch any water that
may be spilt during maintenance.

MAINTENANCE

1. The Power Filter filter should need very little adjustment and
maintenance once set up correctly. However, due to factors
such as organics, detritus and, in marine aquariums, salt and
calcium levels it is common for deposits to build up in the filter,
in the water inlet and outlet pipes, water outlet spray bar and
connecting hosing. Therefore, to ensure optimum performance
and water quality, it is recommended that all parts of the filter
are cleaned periodically and the filter media and filtration
components are cleaned or replaced as required.
2. Regularly check and make sure all connections are tightly
secured and the filter is functioning properly.
3. Ensure that the water inlet pipe, water inlet pipe strainer, water
outlet pipe, water outlet spray bar assembly and all connecting
hoses are clean and free of blockages. Failure to do so will result
in operating problems, leaks and damage to the pump.
4. When carrying out routine maintenance ensure that the pump
housing 'O' ring is correctly positioned, is free from any dirt,
detritus, salt and/or calcium deposits and is checked for any
signs of degradation and replaced accordingly. Failure to do so
could result in leaks. Spare pump housing 'O' rings are available
from your local stockist.
5. During your routine maintenance it is advisable to check the
impeller and impeller housing to ensure that they have not
become blocked with debris, detritus or, in marine aquariums,
a build up of salt and/or calcium deposits and that the impeller
housing cover 'O' ring is checked for any signs of degradation and
replaced accordingly. Failure to do so could result in operating
problems and damage to the pump.
Spares are available from your local stockist.
