Ensure the water level in the tank is above the "lowest water level" indicator on the filter for proper operation. The chosen water outlet should be positioned as desired (e.g., spray bar just below the surface for gentle flow, or flat outlet with air tube above the surface for aeration).

- Curățarea rotorului: Periodically check and clean the pump's impeller to ensure smooth operation and prevent blockages.
- Curatenie generala: Disconnect power before performing any maintenance. Clean the filter housing and attachments as needed to remove algae or debris buildup.
