Hang the filter at the back of the aquarium.

Fill the filter box completely with water from the aquarium and place the lid on the filter. Check the water level of your aquarium and add water as required.
Turn on the filter by plugging in the power cord. The water slowly rises in the inlet tube and will flow through the filter.
Check for any leaks.
The pump will initially make some noise (air resonance). The air will be out of the system after approx 24 hours.

Maintenance
E
Clean the Bio-Ball cartridge monthly with aquarium water to preserve beneficial bacteria; replace annually as the ceramic media may become clogged with debris.
Rinse the sponges once a month (preferably with aquarium water). Replace them once a year, or more often if necessary.
Replace the activated carbon cartridges every 3 months or when the water becomes discoloured. Once the carbon is saturated, its effectiveness decreases.
NOTE! Replace the filter cartridges one at a time with at least a week in between. Alternate cartridge replacement, aids with beneficial bacteria remaining in the filter and can multiply faster.
NOTE! Always remove the filter cartridges before adding medication or water treatment products to the water. Reasoning is the activated carbon will absorb said supplement resulting it nullifying results.
If the water flow decreases, check the filter cartridges for blockages.
