Care and maintenance of the JUWEL Filter System

The JUWEL Filter System requires very little maintenance if you follow the following
instructions.
bioPad - Replace the white filter wool pad once a week. If you have large fish, then
this may require changing slightly more frequently. This will ensure that the filter
sponges will not be clogged by larger dirt particles.
bioCarb - Replace the black activated carbon sponge every 4-6 weeks. Again, if you
have large fish then this may be to be more frequent. This ensures that any chemical
impurities from the water will be removed. Please note that the chemicals which are
absorbed by the activated carbon contained in the sponge, will be released to the
water again if the change intervals are too long.
bioPlus coarse/bioPlus fine - If the filter wool and the activated carbon sponge are
replaced as suggested, then it is sufficient to carefully clean or replace the coarse blue
sponges at 6-12 weeks and the fine blue sponges at 3-9 months only.
- Cleaning or replacing the blue sponges or the Cirax filter medium affects the impact
of the bacterial culture. For that reason, it is recommended not to clean or replace the
blue sponges and the Cirax filter medium at the same time, but rather successively in
an alternating manner.
You do not need to worry about the liquid dirt accumulating at the bottom of the
filter housing. Normally, this dirt contains important biological substances which
enhance the water quality.
Please do not worry if some dirt gets into the water during the cleaning process
causing cloudiness. After the filter system is back in operation, the water will soon
clear again.
Nitrax - In order to allow a proper level of micro-organisms in the filtration system it
is recommended to exchange the sponge every 8 weeks. The nitrate removal sponge
contains bacteria, which will after a while reduce the nitrate level in the aquarium
significantly.
Important:
Always use original JUWEL Aquarium filter media to ensure the optimum
performance of your system.

Maintenance of the pump JUWEL Eccoflow in the filter system

Bioflow Super, M/3.0, L/6.0, XL/8.0

The pump JUWEL Eccoflow should be checked with regard to functionality and cleaned
at regular intervals (at least once a month).
Please proceed as follows to that end:
1. Disconnect all electrical devices of the aquarium from the power grid.
2. Remove the outlet nozzles.
3. Remove the pump from the separation wall of the filter.
4. Disconnect the adapter (A) from the motor by turning it counter-clockwise and
remove the impeller.
5. Thoroughly clean all components. It is particularly necessary to remove the impeller
from the chamber and remove deposits and dirt from the chamber itself as well as the
impeller. The function of the pump will be impaired otherwise. Also check the impeller
for damage and possible signs of wear of the magnet.
After that, please reinstall the pump in reverse order in the filter.

Recommendation:

We recommend that you replace the parts subjected to wear and tear, e.g. the
impeller, axle and the rubber axle holders, at intervals of approx. 12 months in order
to ensure the optimum function and operating quietness of the pump. Inquire at your
specialist retailer for assistance.
Safety instructions:
Never operate the power head out of water.
Always unplug the power head from the power supply before removing it from the
filter.
The power head is intended for indoor use and for use in fluids up to 35°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Juwel Bioflow XL/8.0 below.

Why is the water flow in my Juwel Bioflow XL/8.0 too weak?

Ensure that the pump is properly connected to the power source and the impeller is not blocked. It is also important to check if the filter media is clogged and needs cleaning.

How often should I clean the filter media in my Juwel Bioflow XL/8.0?

As a general guideline, it is recommended to clean the filter media every 2-4 weeks. However, the frequency may vary depending on the bio-load of your aquarium and the water quality.

What should I do if the water in my Juwel Bioflow XL/8.0 becomes cloudy?

Cloudy water can be a sign of poor filtration or an imbalance in the aquarium. Check that the filter media is clean and properly installed. Additionally, test the water parameters such as ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels to identify any potential issues.

How can I reduce the noise coming from my Juwel Bioflow XL/8.0?

First, ensure that the pump is properly positioned and the unit is securely attached to the aquarium. Noise can also be caused by air bubbles, so make sure the air intake is adjusted correctly.
