FAQs

How often do I need to replace the filter cartridge?

The filter cartridge should be replaced monthly to maintain optimal filtration performance.

What size aquarium is this filter suitable for?

The Interpet Bio-CF2 is suitable for aquariums between 68 and 90 litres (15-20 gallons).

Can I use other filter media with this filter?

The Interpet Bio-CF2 is designed to work with Interpet Bio-CF Coir Tech cartridges. It is not recommended to use other filter media, as this may affect the performance of the filter.

How do I clean the filter?

During water changes, gently rinse the filter housing and impeller with aquarium water. Do NOT use tap water.

What do I do if my filter stops working?

Check the power supply and ensure the filter is plugged in securely. Inspect the impeller for any blockages and clean it. If the issue persists, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact Interpet customer support.

What is the Algaway pad and what does it do?

The Algaway pad is a component of the filter that helps to reduce algae growth by removing phosphates, which are algae's food source.

How do I upgrade from the original CF filter?

Simply replace the old cartridges with the Bio-CF Coir Tech cartridges. No other changes are needed.

Troubleshooting

Filter is not running or is very quiet

Check the power connection and ensure the filter is plugged in securely. Inspect the impeller for any obstructions and clean if necessary.

Water is cloudy or murky

Check the filter cartridge and replace it if it's been used for more than a month. Ensure the filter is correctly assembled and that the Algaway pad is in place. Also, check for overfeeding and overstocking.

Algae growth in the tank

Ensure the Algaway pad is functioning correctly. Reduce the amount of direct sunlight on the tank. Adjust the lighting schedule, and consider adding algae-eating fish or invertebrates.

Filter is making excessive noise

Check if the filter is level and properly positioned in the tank. Inspect the impeller for any debris or damage. If the noise persists, the filter may need to be replaced.
