• The temperature of the water must not exceed 35°C.

• The maximum depth of immersion is 1 m.

• Ensure that your home is protected by an automatic

breaker switch with an operating current of no more than

30 mA.

Installation and operation

Attach the  lter to the desired position in the aquarium

using the suckers provided. The water jet should be

about 1-2 cm below the surface of the water. This will

create good surface movement which ensures the best

gaseous exchange. It will also create a slight circular

current which ensures an optimum  ow of water in the

aquarium and simpli es the removal of dirt particles.

Adjusting the  ow of water

It may be necessary to adjust the BLUCOMPACT  ow of

water according to the number of  sh and size of your

aquarium. To increase it: turn the control clockwise. To

decrease it: turn the control anti-clockwise. (1)

Adjusting the direction of the  ow

The special adjustable direction jet at the  lter outlet can

reproduce a  ow of water similar to that found in your

 shes’ natural environment. To change the direction of

the water, simply rotate it with your  ngers. (2)

Adjusting the  ow of air

If you want to use the supplementary aeration, attach

the air suction tube between the  ow regulator and the

adjustable circulation jet. It is possible to increase the

concentration of oxygen in the water with the adjustable

Venturi air intake. (3)

BLUCOMPACT 01 CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Important! Always disconnect the appliance from the

power supply before removing the  lter from the water

or carrying out any maintenance work. Over time, the

 ltration material in the  lterbecomes blocked, reducing

the  ow of water. Regular cleaning and/or replacement

of the  lter cartridge is necessary to ensure that the  lter

operates at peak performance.

Cleaning the  lter cartridge

Remove the  lter from the aquarium. Open the  lter as

shown in the picture. Remove the  lter cartridge. The

 lter cartridge made of special sponge material must be

rinsed at least every 2-3 weeks. (4/5)

Replacing the  lter cartridge

To ensure its e ectiveness, the cartridge should be

replaced regularly or, in any case, at least every 2-3

months. The replacement  ltering element is available at

leading retailers. If necessary, the sponge  lter cartridge

may be replaced with di erent types of  lter material.

An active carbon  lter, available as an accessory, will

eliminate aromatic and coloured compounds along with

medical treatment residues.

Cleaning the rotor

Thanks to its innovative conception, the rotor does not

require frequent cleaning. Cleaning it every 4-6 months

is su cient. Use a soft brush and warm water to clean it.

DO NOT use detergents or abrasives. (6)
