FAQs

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the filter every 2-4 weeks, depending on the bioload of your aquarium.

How often should I replace the filter media?

Replace mechanical filter media when visibly dirty. Replace chemical media every month. Biological media should be rinsed in aquarium water, not replaced unless damaged.

How do I prime the filter?

Follow the priming instructions provided with your specific filter model. Usually involves filling the filter with water and initiating the pump.

What type of filter media should I use?

Use a combination of mechanical (sponge), chemical (activated carbon), and biological (ceramic rings or bio-balls) media.

Why is my filter making a gurgling noise?

The gurgling noise is usually caused by trapped air. Try tilting the filter to release any trapped air.

Can I use this filter with a saltwater aquarium?

Yes, but ensure the filter is specifically designed for saltwater use, as some materials may not be saltwater-compatible.

How long does the filter last?

With proper maintenance, a Fluval External Filter can last for many years.

Troubleshooting

Filter not starting or running.

Check the power connection, ensure the filter is primed correctly, and inspect the impeller for any obstructions.

Reduced water flow.

Clean the filter media, check for hose blockages, and inspect the impeller.

Noisy operation.

Ensure the filter is on a stable surface, check for trapped air, and inspect the impeller for damage or debris.
