BLUWAVE INTERNAL FILTERS

The main maintenance procedures we

recommend are:

• Rinsing all the mechanical filtration sponges at

least every 2-3 weeks:

A BLUWAVE 03;

C BLUWAVE 05 and 07, when replacing them,

ensure that the right order is maintained (fine

sponge top (a), coarse sponge below (b);

E BLUWAVE 09.

• Replacing the mechanical filtration sponges at

least every 6 months. Only use BLUMEC spare parts.

• The effect of the adsorbent sponge ceases in

about 2-3 weeks; we therefore advise, if necessary,

replacing it with a Ferplast replacement sponge

available from leading retailers or leaving it in the

filter to perform a mechanical function, rinsing it

every 2-3 weeks. In any case, it should be changed

at least every 6 months:

B BLUWAVE 03;

D BLUWAVE 05-07;

F BLUWAVE 09.

BLUCARBON active carbon granules or the

BLUZEOLITE zeolite may also fit into this section.

• During periods when the fish are being treated with

a solution added to the water for illness or disease,

the adsorbent sponge should be removed from the

filter (so this does not reduce the beneficial effects

of the treatment). When the treatment is over, we

recommend putting in a new sponge.

• Always keeping the filter intake grilles clean.

• Checking the pump at least every 2 months and

cleaning it when necessary in the following way:

- disconnect the pump and heater from your

electric power supply;

- unscrew the filter top;

- remove the pump unit, adsorbent sponge

and return pipe from the filter, pulling it

upwards (B - D - F);

- remove the pump from the return pipe,

remove the front section and remove the rotor.

In the BLUWAVE 09 remove the BLUMODULAR

together with the relative spray-bar

(G - H - I). If necessary, replace the rotor

with an original Ferplast spare part;

- remove any lime scale or impurities with soft

brush BLU 9037 (never use detergents or

chemical substances);

- re-assemble the unit following these

instructions in reverse.

IMPORTANT

• The biological materials should not be washed.

Therefore, we suggest never removing them

from the filter so they retain their active bacterial

properties.

• However if you think it beneficial to replace these

biological materials with others of a different type

to Ferplast’s, put them into the two cartridges

separately, leaving a period

of at least 2-3 weeks between each introduction

(BLUWAVE 05, 07 and 09 filters).

• Use only original Ferplast parts to replace any filter

components. The use of non-Ferplast parts nullifies

the guarantee. BLURINGS and BLUBALLS spare

parts are available at your local retailer.
