The EHEIM MINIUP filter features an adjustable flow rate. A control knob, typically located on the top of the filter unit, allows you to regulate the water flow intensity.

6. การบำรุงรักษา

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficient operation of your EHEIM MINIUP filter. Always disconnect the filter from the power supply before performing any maintenance.

6.1 Cleaning the Filter Media

The filter sponges should be cleaned regularly, typically every 2-4 weeks, depending on the aquarium's bioload. Rinse the sponges thoroughly in old aquarium water (removed during a water change) to preserve beneficial bacteria. Do not use tap water directly, as chlorine can harm these bacteria.

6.2 Cleaning the Impeller and Pump Housing

Periodically, or if you notice reduced flow, the impeller and its housing should be cleaned. Disassemble the filter unit, carefully remove the impeller, and clean any debris or mineral buildup from the impeller and the impeller chamber using a small brush. Reassemble all parts securely.

6.3 การเปลี่ยนวัสดุกรอง

Filter sponges should be replaced every 3-6 months, or when they show signs of significant wear and tear, to maintain optimal filtration performance. When replacing, consider staggering the replacement of sponges to avoid removing all beneficial bacteria at once.

      a. Check if the filter is plugged in and receiving power.
      b. Disconnect power and check for blockages in the intake, impeller, or outlet.
