4. فلٽر هلائڻ

5-ايسtage فلٽريشن سسٽم

The Fluval C4 Power Filter utilizes a comprehensive 5-stagفلٽريشن جو عمل:

  1. Mechanical (Foam): The porous foam traps large particles.
  2. Mechanical (Polyester): Dense polyester captures fine debris.
  3. Chemical (Activated Carbon): Premium activated carbon removes odors, discoloration, and impurities.
  4. Biological (Bio-Screen): An additional hydraulic circuit conveys water to the Bio-Screen, which removes debris and ensures even water distribution to the biological chamber.
  5. Biological (C-Nodes): The C-Nodes provide an optimal complex pore system for beneficial bacteria to thrive, enhancing the removal of ammonia and nitrites.

Patented Refiltration System

The filter features a patented re-filtration system that allows control over the flow rate without compromising filtration efficiency. When the flow rate is reduced, up to 50% of the water within the filter chamber is re-processed multiple times. This process removes more impurities, resulting in cleaner and clearer water, and is beneficial for delicate fish and plants that require a gentler flow.

Adjustable Flow and Telescopic Intake

The Fluval C4 is designed with versatility in mind. It includes an adjustable flow mechanism, allowing you to customize the water output to suit your aquarium's needs. The telescopic intake tube can be extended or retracted to adapt to various water parameters and aquarium depths, ensuring optimal water intake from different levels of the tank.

6. مسئلا حل ڪرڻ

  • Filter Not Self-Priming: Ensure the filter box is completely filled with aquarium water before plugging it in. If the water level in the tank drops significantly during a water change, you may need to refill the filter box manually.
  • Reduced Flow/Clogging: Check the Poly/Foam Pad and Bio-Screen for excessive debris. The pop-up cleaning indicator will rise when the poly/foam pad requires rinsing or replacement. Clean or replace media as necessary. Also, check the intake tube for obstructions.
  • شور وارو آپريشن: A new filter may have some initial noise. If noise persists, unplug the filter and inspect the impeller. Remove the impeller cover assembly and the impeller itself. Clean any slime or debris from the impeller and its shaft. Reassemble carefully.
  • Impeller Not Spinning/Overheating: This can indicate an obstruction or a worn impeller. Unplug the unit, remove the impeller, and check for any foreign objects or damage. Clean thoroughly and reassemble. If the issue persists, the impeller may need replacement.
  • ڪڪر وارو پاڻي: Ensure all filter media are correctly installed and not overdue for replacement. Perform regular water changes and avoid overfeeding. If using new C-Nodes, some initial cloudiness may occur and should clear within a few days.
