FAQ
How to install the Bluextreme filter into the aquarium.
- Stick the four support legs of the filter to the bottom of the tank.
- Position the BLUEXTREME filter under the level of your aquarium (if you want, position it on the side of the aquarium, which can be done after start-up). All the Ferplast stands are designed to accommodate the filter and facilitate the passage of the tubes.
PLEASE NOTE: From the base of the filter support to the intake point of the tubes into the aquarium there must not be more than 160 cm.
- Insert the valves group into the seat; lower the release lever and verify that the regulation lever is in the UNBLOCKED position.
- Extract the filter tank cover using the hooks (remember that the 4 safety buttons must first be raised, going from red to green) and verify the correct position of the filtration materials; release 1 (700) or 2 (1100-1500) BLUSTART capsules into the bottom of the filter tank (you can easily introduce them through the tube). Re-close the filter, positioning the cover over the tank, blocking it with the four hooks and closing the safety buttons.
PLEASE NOTE: do not lock one hook at a time, but pairs of hooks (one opposite the other).
Be careful of the correct assembly and correct direction of the cover onto the tank, positioning it in a way to guarantee the continuity of the water's passage from the intake to the discharge.
- Make sure that there is not dirt or foreign matter on the seals under the cover.
- Position the flow and suction pipes in your aquarium, making sure to fix them properly with the suitable accessories.
PLEASE NOTE: the CAYMAN aquariums and the STAR aquariums are opportunely designed for the passage of tubes.
We recommend that you position the flow and suction unit in the rear angles, in opposite positions, to avoid the formation of direct passages between the two. In fact, these passages could compromise the efficient functioning of your aquarium.
