  3. タンク内の位置: Place the filter inside your aquarium, ensuring it is fully submerged. The minimum water line for proper operation is 1.9 inches (4.8 cm). This low water line capability makes it suitable for ampハイビアンタンク。
  4. 接続電源： Once the filter is securely placed and fully submerged, connect the power plug (7) to a suitable electrical outlet.

5. 操作手順

After connecting the power, the filter will begin to operate. The 5W water pump provides a stable flow of 132 GPH (gallons per hour), ensuring efficient water circulation and filtration. The design promotes quiet operation, suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments.

The waterfall design of the water outlet aids in water aeration, contributing to a healthier aquatic environment.

6. メンテナンス

Regular maintenance is crucial for the efficient operation and longevity of your PULACO filter. It is recommended to clean the filter every 2 weeks to maintain standard filtration efficiency.

クリーニング手順:

  1. 電源を切る: 掃除する前に必ずフィルターを電源コンセントから抜いてください。
  2. タンクからフィルターを取り外す: 水槽からフィルターを慎重に取り外します。
  3. フィルターを分解: Remove the filter cover, then carefully extract the filter plate and inlet sponge.
  4. フィルターメディアの清掃: The filter utilizes a 3-layer filtration plate.

    • Bio-Cotton Layers: Rinse the bio-cotton layers (top and bottom) thoroughly under clean water to remove trapped debris.
    • Micro Activated Carbon: The activated carbon layer helps to clean water smell. Rinse it gently. Activated carbon has a limited lifespan and should be replaced periodically (e.g., monthly) for optimal odor removal.
  5. Clean Inlet Sponge: Rinse the inlet sponge to remove any accumulated particles.
  6. Clean Pump Impeller: Periodically, remove the water pump and clean the impeller to ensure smooth operation and prevent blockages.
  7. 再組み立てと再インストール: Reassemble all parts in reverse order and place the filter back into the aquarium, ensuring it is fully submerged before reconnecting power.
