Introduction

Thank you for choosing a JUWEL Aquarium product.
Our products represent over 30 years experience in the manufacturing of aquariums

and their acessories applying most modern production techniques bringing together
the JUWEL Aquarium system, which is both easy to use and simple to maintain.

Always unplug all immersed electrical equipment from mains before placing your hands
into the water.

The JUWEL Filter System

The JUWEL Filter System is a highly effective two-stage biological filtration system,
using components specifically designed to perform together perfectly.

As this Filter System is positioned inside the aquarium, no hoses are required, meaning
no leaking connections, since the water remains inside the aquarium.

The output from the powerhead also remains at full strength since there is no need to
pass the water through hoses, connections etc. This means that it remains at full
capacity ensuring an even and smooth stream of water through the filtration media.

The large filtration volume of the sponges ensures a highly effective biological
cleansing of the water.

Filter Wool (white pad)

The white filter wool acts as a mechanical pre-filter, removing large particles of dirt
and excess food which in turn ensures that the other sponges do not get clogged.

Active Carbon Sponge (black)

The black activated carbon sponge sits on top of the blue coarse filter sponges, and
removes chemical impurities from the water which cannot be removed biologically.

Nitrate Removal Sponge (green)

The Sponge contains micro-organisms, which will, once developed, reside inside the
sponges and in the water. These micro-organisms feed of nitrates and will reduce them
significantly. The JUWEL Filtration system provides the optimum housing for these
micro-organisms.

Filter Sponge Coarse (blue)

The coarse blue filter sponges allow bacteria cultures to develop quickly, cleaning the
water which is now free from chemical impurities.

Filter Sponge Fine (blue)

The fine blue sponges and the bacteria cultures living in them, clean the water of even
the smallest impurities.

Installation of the JUWEL Filter System in your Aquarium

The JUWEL Filter has been designed for installation in the right hand corner of the
aquarium.

First of all, please remove all internal components of the Filter System leaving you
with the empty filter housing.

In order to ensure that the Filter System is securely fastened to the glass panels, we
have included a tube of special JUWEL Aquarium silicon. Apply the silicone onto the
housing as shown in the picture, on both the side and the rear walls.

Your Aquarium should be empty or as near as empty, allowing you to wipe the glass
dry.

Position the filter housing in the aquarium in such a way that the top of the filter
housing rises 1 cm above the maximum water level of your aquarium.

Press the housing onto the glass panels firmly, and hold it for a few minutes. Allow
the silicone to dry out for at least 24 hours.
