Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• The power plugs of the electrical devices must not become moist. Connect the power plugs to the power supply at such a height that the connection cable forms a loop which would enable the water to drip down.
• At all times, only operate the electrical devices for your aquarium (lighting, heater, pump etc.) using an earth leakage circuit breaker (EL circuit breaker) with a maximum tripping current of 30 mA. If the socket that you are using in your home installation is not safeguarded with such a circuit breaker, please use a commercially available power strip with an integrated earth leakage circuit breaker.

The JUWEL Bioflow ONE filter

The JUWEL filter Bioflow ONE is a highly effective biological filter system with components that are harmonized among each other in an ideal manner. Installing the filter in the aquarium makes hose connections unnecessary and prevents leaks. The pump output is not negatively affected by hose couplings, intake tubes etc. The pump capacity is dimensioned in such a manner that the biological filtering is ensured by a sufficient flow through the filter material in an ideal manner. The construction of the filter system enables you to quickly access the individual pump and filter medium components, facilitating comfortable operation while cleaning and maintaining the filter system. In addition to this, the JUWEL Bioflow ONE filter system offers the option of integrating the heater (optionally available).

Commissioning of the JUWEL Bioflow ONE filter

You should make the filter ready for use before setting up the aquarium, but do not yet connect the electrical components to the power supply.
The JUWEL Bioflow ONE filter is consists of:

• Pump
• Filter housing with slot for the heater (optionally available)
• 2 blue filter sponges - bioPlus fine ONE
• 4 suction cups
• O2 diffuser

Prior to initial use of the filter, open the filter housing and remove the filter sponges, in order to rinse them out under running water.
Reinsert the filter sponges into the filter housing and close it.
Now, insert the suction cups into the designated openings of the filter housing and attach the filter in the rear right corner of the aquarium.
Now, attach the O2 diffuser (with assembled air hose and controller) onto the pump outlet of the pump.
The JUWEL Bioflow ONE filter is now operational.
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.

Bioflow ONE positioning

Please position the filter as displayed on the picture, in the back right corner of your aquarium. The filter should be positioned in the aquarium in such a way that max. 1 cm sticks out of the water when the aquarium is filled.
You can increase or decrease the air supply in steps via the valve of your JUWEL O2 diffuser.

Servicing and maintenance of the JUWEL Bioflow ONE filter

BioPlus fine ONE - Replace one of the blue filter sponges at an interval of approx. 3 months.

Always use original JUWEL Aquarium filter media to ensure the optimum performance of your system.

Maintenance of the JUWEL Eccoflow 300 pump

The JUWEL Eccoflow pump should be checked and cleaned at regular intervals (at least once a month).
Please proceed as follows to that end:

1. Disconnect all electrical devices that are operated inside the water from the power grid.
2. Remove the O2 diffuser from the pump outlet.
3. Remove the pump from the filter.
4. Disconnect the adapter (A) from the motor, by turning it anti-clockwise.
5. Remove the impeller and the axle with their rubber bearings from the motor.
6. Thoroughly clean all components.
   It is necessary to remove the impeller from the chamber and remove deposits and dirt from the chamber itself as well as the impeller. Using the cleaning brush included with the pump for this purpose. Otherwise the functionality of the pump will be impaired. Also check the impeller for damage and possible signs of wear of the magnet.
7. After that, please reinstall the pump in reverse order in the filter. Before you reconnect the devices that are operated in thewater to the power supply.

Recommendation:
We recommend that you replace the parts subjected to wear and tear, e.g. the impeller, axle and the rubber axle holders, at intervals of approx. 12 months in order to ensure the optimum function and operating quietness of the pump. Inquire at your specialist retailer for assistance.
