6. Údržba
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal filter performance and water quality:
- Sponge Cleaning: Periodically, or when water flow decreases, remove the sponges from the filter. Gently rinse them in old aquarium water (from a water change) to preserve beneficial bacteria. Avoid using tap water directly, as chlorine can harm bacteria.
- Výměna houbičky: Replace sponges when they become too worn or clogged to clean effectively. Use the provided spare sponges.
- Ceramic Media: The ceramic balls rarely need cleaning. If necessary, rinse them gently in old aquarium water. Do not replace them unless they are physically damaged.
- Čištění filtrační jednotky: Occasionally, wipe down the hard plastic parts of the filter to remove any algae or debris buildup.
