Thanks to a properly selected sponge, the filter does not require frequent cleaning. The large-pored foam rubber from which the sponge is made effectively retains food residues and fish waste. The AQUAEL filler is made of phenol-free sponge, on which bacterial cultures responsible for removing organic and nitrogen contaminants multiply well. Therefore, the filter performs both mechanical and biological water purification. Thanks to the suction nozzle, dirty water is evenly distributed along the entire length of the sponge, rather than concentrated in its upper part. The plastic pre-filter retains larger particles and ensures consistent performance.
The most efficient aeration can be achieved by placing the filter 3-4 cm below the water level. The lower you lower the filter, the weaker the aeration of the water. At the surface of the water, the filter creates a strong current, which ensures maximum oxygen saturation of the water.
The flow power regulator is located on top and allows you to easily change the strength of the current without putting your hands deep into the water.
In the kit you will find a special attachment for the filter spout - a flow deflector, designed to change the direction of water flow.
If there is a compressor in the aquarium, the air intake hose can be disconnected. In this case, the filter will operate absolutely silently.
In the filter box you will find various accessories. With them you can change the filter design depending on your needs.

• small filter sizes • relatively high performance • simple design OPERATING MANUAL for filters FAN-mini plus, FAN-1 plus, FAN-2 plus, FAN-3 plus. PURPOSE Internal filters from the FAN plus series are designed for cleaning and aerating water in aquariums. Aeration of water is carried out using: • intensive movement of water at the surface; • aeration nozzle (16); • additionally purchased diffuser. The filters are designed in such a way that they guarantee efficient operation and ease of maintenance even for the novice aquarist. CONDITIONS OF SAFE OPERATION Aquarium filters from the FAN plus series are manufactured in accordance with all currently valid safety regulations. Before each operation related to filter maintenance, for example, installation, replacement of fillers, cleaning, and always before putting your hand into water, the filter and other electrical equipment are disconnected from the electrical network. Do not use a filter that has any mechanical damage, such as a crack, or with damaged electrical wires. Electrical wires must not be changed or repaired. Switches and plug connectors must not be mounted on the electrical wire. If the electrical wire is damaged, the entire pump must be replaced. The filter can only be used in room conditions, for liquids with temperatures up to 350C. It can only be installed in aquariums and cannot be used for other purposes! The filter must be completely immersed in water and should not be allowed to run dry. INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT The method of installing the filter in the aquarium is shown on the title page. The stand (13) together with the suction cups (12) or the optional magnetic suspension (17) allow you to easily and quickly install the filter at any selected height. The tube (9) must be connected on one side to the aeration nozzle (16), and on the other side to the aeration regulator (10). This will ensure effective aeration of the water in the aquarium. Thanks to the possibility of aeration, the filter has a useful diffuser function for enriching water with carbon dioxide. Additionally, using the regulator knob (10), you can adjust the intensity of aeration. The highest filter efficiency can be achieved by immersing the filter at a height of at least 3 cm below the water level. It must be remembered that as a result of evaporation, the water level in the aquarium is constantly decreasing. This fact should be taken into account when choosing the filter mounting height. In addition, with the help of flow regulators (4), it is possible to regulate the pump's performance over a wide range, and thanks to the installation of a rotating outlet dome (7), the water stream can be directed in any direction. Additionally, the FAN plus filter is equipped with a guide tip (8). FAN plus filters can be equipped with a diffuser (15) as an additional element. Diffuser installation method: according to the picture on the title page.
REPLACEMENT OF FILTRATION MATERIAL, MAINTENANCE To clean the filter, first of all, remove the plug from the electrical outlet. After this, lightly remove the entire filter from the stand (13) and remove it from the aquarium. In order to replace the filter inserts, it is necessary to remove the reservoir (1) from the filter by lightly pressing it with your fingers in the places indicated in the figure adjacent. After this, rinse and replace the liner. The filtration insert is made of a phenol-free sponge, on which bacterial cultures responsible for removing organic contaminants are especially easily multiplied. For filters FAN-2 plus and FAN-3 plus, it is possible to additionally purchase a biological kit (14), consisting of a ceramic insert and activated carbon. This set can replace a regular liner made of sponge (2). Activated carbon must be rinsed in running water before adding it to the tank. Filters from the FAN plus series are driven by a sealed, synchronous motor that does not require complex maintenance. However, at least once a month it is necessary to remove the reservoir (1) and the rotor chamber cover (18), remove the rotor (b) and carefully clean it. Then you need to fold the filter in the reverse order. After installing the rotor (6) on the axis, the rotor should rotate without any stop. DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL Used electrical and electronic household equipment must not be disposed of in waste bins. The selection, collection and proper disposal of this type of waste impacts the protection of valuable environmental resources. This allows you to avoid the negative consequences associated with environmental pollution with waste of this kind. Improper handling of used equipment, in turn, can pose a health hazard to people and animals. The user is the person responsible for delivering used equipment to a specialized collection point, where this equipment will be accepted free of charge. Information about such items can be obtained from the manufacturer's point of sale or service point.
