Replace it when it clogs, breaks down or no longer holds its shape, Aqua One says; until then rinse it in a bucket of aquarium water each time you clean the filter.
How to change the filter media in your Aqua One Aquis 500
Watch the guide or follow the steps.
No clear video for this part yet. The steps cover it.
- 1Turn the canister filter off at the power point and unplug it. Close the taps or flow valve and disconnect the tap connector from the head unit (Nautilus: lift the locking lever).
- 2Fill a bucket with water from your aquarium. Release the clips, lift off the head unit and take the media baskets out of the canister.
- 3Take out the sponges and the white wool. Dunk the baskets of biological media a few times in the bucket of aquarium water: Aqua One says this keeps the chlorine in tap water from killing the good bacteria on it.
- 4Rinse the sponges in the bucket of aquarium water. Fit a new sponge once the old one clogs and water no longer passes through it easily.
- 5Put the media back in the same baskets and order, refit the baskets and head unit, then prime and restart the filter as its manual describes.
