- Filtración continua: The powerful motor will draw water through the biochemical sponges for physical filtration, removing debris and residues.
- Biological Processing: Water then passes through the bio ceramic media balls, where beneficial bacteria cultivate to purify water quality and decompose harmful substances.
- Oxigenación: The filter's operation increases water circulation and oxygen content in the aquarium, crucial for fish health.
- Ajustar el flujo de agua: The 360° adjustable water outlet allows you to direct the flow as desired, minimizing surface disturbance or maximizing aeration.


Mantenimiento
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your AQQA Electric Power Sponge Filter:
- Limpieza con esponja: Periodically remove the biochemical sponges and gently clean them with water from the fish tank. Avoid using tap water directly as it may contain chlorine that harms beneficial bacteria.
- Media Ball Cleaning: The bio ceramic media balls should also be rinsed gently with aquarium water during sponge cleaning. Note that new media balls may have a layer of protective powder, which is normal and should be rinsed off before first use.
- Inspección del motor: Occasionally inspect the motor and impeller for any debris or blockages. Clean as necessary to maintain optimal flow.
- Reemplazo: The filter comes with 2 spare sponges. Replace sponges when they show significant wear or clogging that cannot be cleaned.


Solución de problemas
If you encounter any issues with your AQQA Electric Power Sponge Filter, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Flujo reducido: Check if the sponges are clogged and require cleaning. Inspect the motor and impeller for any blockages. Ensure the water outlet is not obstructed.
- Ruido excesivo: Ensure the filter is fully submerged and securely attached to the tank wall. Check for any trapped air within the unit; re-prime if necessary. Inspect the impeller for damage or debris.
- El filtro no se inicia: Verify that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the motor is properly assembled and free of obstructions.
- Agua turbia: This may indicate insufficient filtration or an imbalance in the aquarium's biological cycle. Perform regular water changes and ensure filter media is clean and functioning correctly.
