5. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
5.1. Routine operation
To avoid electric risk:
Each power cable of the electric devices has to show a drip
loop positioned lower than the plug-outlet connection point in
order to prevent any drop from reaching such point.
1) Read the warnings under chap. 1.
2) After having connected the plug of each electric device verify the
operation of the same (in case of malfunction refer to chap. 7):
• Water has to exit from delivery output.
• By pressing on the ON-OFF switch of the lighting unit, this latter has
to start working (press the switch once again to turn it off).
3) Add the sh, if wished, according to your own experience and following
the rules relating to aquariology good practices.
5.1.1. Filtration
Always close the cover, after having performed the necessary
operations in order to avoid promoting algae proliferation in
the lters due to the presence of light.
In order to provide for the best habitat for sh and plants, the water of each
aquarium has to continuously undergo mechanical, biological and chemical
ltration.
The mechanical ltration (see g. 12a), carried out by the mechanical
ltration sponges made of polyurethane, eliminates any suspended
particles making water clear. It is always possible to visually check the
clogging level of the sponges simply by opening the cover.
The biological ltration (see g. 12a), carried out by the nitrifying bacteria
nesting in the mechanical ltration sponges, aims at keeping aquarium water
free from chemicals, which are harmful for the aquatic fauna, transforming
the ammonia produced by the sh into nitrates. In order to allow a sufcient
quantity of bacteria to settle down in the ltration media and carry out such
water purication function, about 4 weeks are necessary. Therefore, the rst
month of an aquarium is rather critical and the sh has to be added very
gradually in order to allow the nitrifying bacteria to settle down, reproduce
and be effective,
Finally, the chemical ltration (see g. 12b) is carried out by the active
carbon contained in the carbon cartridge or by the mix of resins contained
in the mix cartridge. Thanks to the very high carbon porosity, potentially
noxious chemical compounds, pharmaceutical residues, smells, waste
substances, which reduce water clarity, etc. are removed. The mix cartridge
allows removing efciently nitrates and phosphates, freeing water from the
main cause of algae proliferation.
The regular and alternated use of the carbon and mix cartridges
(see par. 6.2) allows keeping under control the water pollution degree,
efciently preventing algae development and keeping water clear and
crystalline.
REMARK
In saltwater aquariums the mix cartridge function is limited to the
removal of phosphates, while it is ineffective against nitrates.
5.1.2. Lighting
Thanks to the high efciency LEDs, the lighting unit recreates natural
lighting and enhances the colours of the aquatic fauna and ora.
The lighting unit is controlled by an ON-OFF switch, which allows turning it
on and off without need of disconnecting the power plug.
5.1.3. Water recirculation
The pump is equipped with a water circulation hole on the delivery tube to
improve water circulation in the aquarium.
5.2. In case of power failure
Power failure (blackout) can result, after some hours, in the progressive
deterioration of the biological lter effectiveness with possible following
damages to the aquarium ecosystem.
In case of malfunction refer to chap. 7.
6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
To avoid electric risk:
Disconnect the plugs of the electric devices from the outlets
before handling the product and/or immersing the hands in
water.
Never pull the cable of the electric devices to disconnect the
plugs from the outlets. To disconnect them, grab the plugs
and pull them.
Do not connect the electric devices of the product to the
mains before having completed the installation or having
repositioned the same after maintenance operations. Do not
use the pump dry.
To avoid the risk of burns:
After disconnecting the plug, let the hot parts of the lighting
unit cool down (about 5 minutes) before handling them.
Check that the water is always at the level shown on the
frame.
After maintenance operations, if necessary, restore the
proper water level.

Always close the cover, after having performed the necessary
operations in order to avoid promoting algae proliferation in
the lters due to the presence of light.
In case of saltwater aquariums, perform a frequent and
careful cleaning (at least once a month) of the parts affected
by saline condensate.

3) Disassemble the delivery tube and the lower cover from the pump
(see g. 15).
4) Extract the magnetic impeller and rinse it under running water
(see g. 16).
5) Using the proper extracting device, extract the pump shaft and rinse it
under running water (see g. 17).
6) Clean the inner side of the pump with a non abrasive bottle brush
(see g. 18).

The PURE FILTER MEDIA KIT S spare parts kit for aquariums Askoll
PURE S can be purchased from your trustworthy retailer (see product code
under chap. 9) and contains the following ltration media:
• 1 sponge for mechanical and biological ltration.
• 1 active carbon cartridge for chemical ltration.
• 1 mix cartridge (anti-nitrates and anti-phosphates) for chemical ltration.
In order to keep optimal aquarium conditions, Askoll suggest purchasing a
package of PURE FILTER MEDIA KIT S each month.
The scheme on the side outlines the replacement sequence for the
individual ltration media, which involves the replacement of the sponge for
mechanical ltration once every 4 weeks and the alternation of the carbon
cartridge with the mix cartridge every 2 weeks.
