The Fluval Foam Filter Block A226 is designed to provide effective mechanical and biological filtration for Fluval 404, 405, 406, and 407 Aquarium Filters. This 2-pack replacement media efficiently traps large particles and debris, contributing to crystal clear and sparkling aquarium water. Its pore structure also supports beneficial biological activity, promoting a healthier aquatic environment.

• Effective Mechanical Filtration: Traps large particles and debris.
• Biological Activity Support: Pore structure allows for beneficial biological colonization.
• Clearer Water: Helps create crystal clear, sparkling aquarium water.
• ഇഷ്ടാനുസൃത ഫിറ്റ്: Designed for Fluval 404, 405, 406, and 407 filters to prevent bypass.
• അളവ്: Includes two Fluval Foam Filter Blocks.

The Fluval Foam Filter Block is designed for easy installation into compatible Fluval canister filters. Ensure your filter is unplugged and disassembled according to its specific manual before proceeding.

1. Remove the protective plastic bag from the new foam filter block.
2. Thoroughly rinse the new pad under cool tap water to remove any manufacturing dust.
3. Install the foam pad into the designated mechanical filtration stage of your Fluval 404, 405, 406, or 407 filter. Refer to your specific filter's instruction manual for exact placement.
4. Ensure the foam block fits snugly to prevent water bypass, maximizing filtration efficiency.

പ്രവർത്തന തത്വങ്ങൾ

Once installed, the Fluval Foam Filter Block performs both mechanical and biological filtration. Water flows through the foam, where its dense structure physically traps suspended particles, debris, and excess food. Over time, beneficial bacteria colonize the foam's porous surface, establishing a biological filter that converts harmful ammonia and nitrites into less toxic nitrates, crucial for maintaining a healthy aquarium environment.

മെയിൻ്റനൻസ്

The Fluval Foam Filter Block is a consumable filter media that requires regular cleaning and eventual replacement to maintain optimal filtration performance. The frequency of maintenance depends on the bioload of your aquarium and the amount of debris present.

• പതിവ് വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Periodically remove the foam block and rinse it gently in old aquarium water (from a water change) to dislodge trapped debris without destroying beneficial bacteria. Avoid using tap water directly as chlorine can harm bacteria.
• മാറ്റിസ്ഥാപിക്കൽ: Replace the foam filter block every 2-4 months, or sooner if it becomes heavily clogged and cannot be adequately cleaned. A 2-pack provides a convenient supply for multiple replacements.
• Do Not Replace All Media Simultaneously: To preserve beneficial bacteria, avoid replacing all filter media at the same time. Stagger replacements over several weeks if multiple media types are used.

ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ്

If you experience issues such as reduced water flow, cloudy water, or poor water quality after installing or maintaining your Fluval Foam Filter Block, consider the following:

• കുറഞ്ഞ ഒഴുക്ക്: The foam block may be clogged. Remove and rinse thoroughly. If flow does not improve, it may be time for replacement.
• മേഘാവൃതമായ വെള്ളം: Ensure the foam block is correctly seated and no water is bypassing it. Check other filter media stages for clogging or degradation.
• Poor Water Quality (Ammonia/Nitrite Spikes): This could indicate a disruption in biological filtration. Avoid over-cleaning or replacing too much biological media at once. Test water parameters regularly.

For persistent issues, consult your Fluval filter's comprehensive instruction manual or contact Fluval customer support.
