Installation
(1) Flip all four EZ clips open and push upwards. With the help of the two recessed lid handles,
the pump head of the filter can be easily lifted off.
(2) Remove fine filter pad and take out each media container by grabbing the retractable handles
and pulling upwards.
(3) Fill the filter media containers with EHEIM filter media to achieve best results.
The lower filter tank is to be filled with EHEIM filter pads.
Fill the second container with the biological media SUBSTRAT to just below the edge.
Attention: Do not overfill. Do not clog flow-through pipe.
(4) Thoroughly rinse the filter media in the containers under running water until all cloudiness has
disappeared. Place the container with the blue filter pad in the filter canister and firmly press
downwards until it rests on the support frames. This guarantees an hermetic seal between
media containers and canister.
(5) Insert the second media container in the same manner. Make sure the flow-through pipe open-
ings line up on top of each other and that the 2 rubber seals are correctly fitted on the open-
ings, so as to achieve a hermetic seal.
Lower each retractable handle and ensure that both media containers lie flush on top of each
other. Then insert the fine filter pad (white) in such a manner that the round cut-out lines up
with the respective flow-through pipe opening.
Attention: Fine filter pad (white) should not be placed under the retractable handle of the
media container.
(6) Check to ensure that the sealing gasket on the pump head of the filter is not soiled and that
is properly placed into its groove.
(7) Place the pump head onto the filter canister so that the input connector of the pump head is
lined up with the input guide of the media containers. Close all four EZ clips.
(8) Attention: Before the integrated double tap connector is inserted into the pump head of the
filter, examine both o-rings for damage and correct fitting. Lightly grease the o-rings with Va-
seline to help installation.
(9) Insert the integrated double tap connector with the locking clamp in an upright position into
the opening on the pump head. To fasten the locking clamp into its sealed position push the
handle downwards.
