How to use & care
Setting up your Fluval AquaClear 70 Power Filter is straightforward. First, ensure the filter is securely mounted on the rim of your aquarium. Fill the filter box with water before plugging it in to prime the pump. The modular media basket allows for easy placement of the AquaClear Foam at the bottom, followed by Activated Carbon, and then BioMax rings on top. Always ensure the water level in your aquarium is maintained above the minimum fill line for optimal filter operation. Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of your Fluval AquaClear 70 Power Filter. The CycleGuard system helps preserve beneficial bacteria during cleaning, but it’s still important to clean the filter media in old aquarium water rather than tap water to avoid killing off these essential microorganisms.
For routine care, rinse the AquaClear Foam every 2-4 weeks to remove accumulated debris. Replace the Activated Carbon every month to maintain its effectiveness in removing odors and discoloration. The BioMax rings should be rinsed gently every 2-3 months and replaced only when they show significant signs of degradation, as they are the primary site for beneficial bacteria. Regularly check the impeller for any blockages or wear and tear to ensure consistent flow. By following these simple maintenance steps, your Fluval AquaClear 70 Power Filter will continue to provide exceptional filtration, keeping your aquarium water pristine and your aquatic life healthy.
