Page 28 Filter media for solving problems Page 3019 Description of functions The JBL CRISTALPROFI

greenline Filter cleans the tank water in a closed circuit. A maintenance-free pump built into the filter head ensures permanent water circulation. The water is fed from the aquarium into the filter media basket, where it flows through the filter media from the bottom to the top and is cleaned appropriately, before being pumped back into the aquarium. The filter is NOT self-priming. The air initially contained in the system must be removed before starting the appliance. This can be done by selecting the built-in quick-start option by pushing the priming button. Special features

range consume up to 43 % (depending on model) less power than previous comparable models.

• High capacity, quiet New motor technology delivers the same effective water circulation in your aquar- ium as previous models. Optimised pump impeller with ceramic bearings ensures quiet running and long service life.

• Rarely needs cleaning Immediately below the pump head, there is an innovative combi filter basket II in which the extensive pre-filter media is very easily accessible. Due to regular clean- ing or replacement of the pre-filter media, the remaining filter materials rarely need cleaning.

• Complete with JBL MicroMec high-capacity biological filter balls The round shape and varying diameter of the balls produces a self-cleaning effect. As a result, these filter media only need cleaning at very long intervals. The main filter media can be used for up to a year when used in conjunction with the easily cleaned pre-filter.

• Simple to start, safe to use The built-in quick-start priming button makes starting the filter child’s play, with- out the annoyance of manual priming. All the parts of the filter are easy to fit and designed in such a way that incorrect assembly is impossible. An innovative patented [EP 1869973] hose connection block prevents water leak- age when the block is disconnected from the filter. Tested to TÜV/G.

• Complete and ready to plug in The filter is fully ready to plug in and equipped with filter media. The filter media have been selected to ensure efficient mechanical and biological water purifica- tion that leaves your aquarium water clear and healthy.

Unpacking and preparation Carefully remove the filter and the separate accessories from the packaging and check that nothing is missing. In the event that anything is missing or damaged, please contact your specialist retailer. Open all 4 locking clips on the filter container and remove the pump head. All models of the CRISTALPROFI

greenline external filters in the series XO2 have a new combi filter basket II with an extensive pre-filter. This thus eliminates the water distribution plate, which was part of the previous models. Take out all the filter baskets one at a time and thoroughly rinse all the filter media under lukewarm mains water. Place the filter baskets back in the filter canis- ter in the original order. Please note: After the removal of the pre-filter material the lower part of the combi filter basket II can be separated from the upper part by slightly moving the retaining lugs towards

zh22 the middle of the basket. Simple plug-in assembly. The retaining lugs snap into place by themselves. Before you fit the pump head, biologically activate the filter media with JBL FilterStart cleansing bacteria (available at your specialist retailer) as follows: Empty the complete contents of the required number of bottles of JBL FilterStart over the pre-filter media in the combi filter basket. Number of bottles of JBL FilterStart: CristalProfi e402: 1 bottle CristalProfi e702: 1 bottle CristalProfi e902: 2 bottles CristalProfi e1502: 3 bottles CristalProfi e1902: 4 bottles Put the pump head back on the filter canister and close the locking clips. Make sure that the intake opening is properly seated at the pump head of the combi filter basket II. Please note: The empty filter baskets are interchangeable (excepting e402). However, the combi filter basket is the only one that can be inserted last on top. The pump head can be turned 180° in any direction. The combi filter basket II likewise needs to be turned 180° so that the intake openings fit together again. When the pump head is unintentionally incorrectly positioned the clips at the canister don’t lock. In this case do not use force, but turn either the pump head or the combi filter basket 180°. Tip: Always open and close clips positioned opposite each other. This prevents unnecessary wear on the pump head seal and ensures an accurate fit when the filter canister is closed.

Attaching the hose connection block and hoses Turn the two small stopcock levers on the pump head to the (●) position opposite the “OPEN” mark, so that the groove in the base of the levers points vertically upwards. Place the hose connection block with the middle lever pointing upwards into the pump head and press it down firmly. To fasten, press the middle lever down to secure and turn the two small stopcock levers to the “OPEN” position. Now the ball valves integrated in the hose connection block are open and the hose connection block cannot be removed, even if the middle lever is raised (safety lock). Push each hose onto a hose connection and turn the nut anti-clockwise until the hose fits firmly.

Positioning the filter The filter can now be positioned in the intended place for use in the aquarium cabinet or similar. Attention must be paid to the following: If the filter is to be housed in the cabinet, the distance in height between the surface of the water and the bottom of the filter may not exceed 180 cm max. (max.120 cm for the e402). If the filter is located next to the aquarium,23 the distance between the surface of the water and the top of the filter must be at least 20 cm CAUTION: the filter should always be operated in an upright position!

Attaching pipes and hoses Place the intake strainer on the end of the suction pipe and attach it to the inside of the aquarium using the suction cups and pipe clips. Use long or short clips depending on the design of the aquarium edge. Pull out the telescopic pipe so that the intake strainer is about 5 cm above the base of the aquarium. The two parts of the telescopic pipe are sealed against one another by an O-ring so that no air is drawn into the telescopic pipe, even if the water level is low (e.g. in a turtle tank). Connect the water outlet pipe, angle piece and spray bar (if required) and secure them in the aquarium with suction cups. First, remove the end cap of the spray bar and only replace it when the filter is operating. Important note: The plug connections between the parts 8 – 12 and the water outlet pipe (7) are NOT waterproof. For this reason they are to be positioned INSIDE the aquarium ONLY. Please ensure that any water leaking from the connections, during operation cannot leave the aquarium and cause damage to furniture etc. Tip: We advise against using the spray bar in aquariums containing plants, as too much of the vital plant nutrient, CO

, is expelled from the water. The best results are achieved by using the water outlet pipe with an angle piece or a wide jet pipe with the outlet just be- low the surface of the water to produce moderate surface agitation. The distance between the outlet and the surface of the water can be individually set by using the two extension pieces. Connect the hose with the suction pipe from the “IN” position on the hose connection block (black elbow connection) and the hose with the water outlet pipe from the “OUT” position (grey elbow connection). Firmly attach the hoses by turning the nuts anticlockwise until they are tight. Tip: The installation of a JBL ProFlora Direct inline diffuser into the hose which leads from “OUT” to the aquarium enables a smart and effective CO

supply. Furthermore there will be no disturbing diffuser inside the aquarium. JBL ProFlora Direct is available as an accessory at your specialist retailer. Cut the hoses as short as possible to avoid kinking. This also makes priming easier.

Starting up Make sure that the two small stopcock levers on the pump head are in the “OPEN” position. During the following start up procedure, the water outlet pipe with the spray bar, etc.

zh24 must be positioned ABOVE the surface of the water for optimum ventilation of the appliance. Press the “START” button on the pump head repeatedly with the palm of your hand until water begins to flow into the suction hose (hose on “IN”). Wait until the filter has completely filled with water and the water in the hose leading to the water outlet pipe (hose on “OUT”) is at the same level as the surface of the water in the aquarium. Connect the filter to the mains power supply. The water will now flow out of the water outlet pipe into the aquarium. At first, it may be mixed with air that is still trapped between the layers of the filter media. Gently shake the filter to dislodge the air which will escape with the stream of water. Please note: If you replace an existing aquarium filter with a J BL CRISTALPROFI

external filter, we recommend running both the new filter and the old filter parallel in the same aquarium for the first 2 weeks, before dismantling the “old” filter. This ensures that the new filter has a sufficiently large colony of cleansing bacteria and avoids harmful nitrites occur- ring in the transitional phase. Check that all parts are watertight.

Regulating the water flow The water flow can be regulated by the stopcock labelled OUT if required (grey elbow connection). The further the lever is turned away from the “OPEN” mark, the less water is pumped by the filter. Never use the lever opposite to regulate flow! Important: Reducing capacity by more than half should be avoided for the following rea- sons: running noise may increase, the service life of the rotor may be shortened and the cooling required when the pump head is in operation is no longer reliably guaranteed. Note on the pumping capacity For optimum reliable performance, we strongly recommend the use of JBL original filter media only. As usual technically, the data given on the type plates and the packaging refer to maximum IDLE RUNNING DATA of the pump, without hoses and filter media: CP e402: 450 l/h CP e702: 700 l/h CP e902: 900 l/h CP e1502: 1400 l/h CP e1902: 1900 l/h When operated in an aquarium, this data is reduced by varying degrees, depending on the length of hose and the filter media used. An accumulation of dirt in the hoses and filter me- dia will further reduce performance.25 The following approximate capacities refer to a hose length of 1.5 m and operation with the supplied filter media in a clean or new condition: CP e402: 200 – 250 l/h CP e702: 350 – 400 l/h CP e902: 380 – 450 l/h CP e1502: 800 – 900 l/h CP e1902: 1100 – 1200 l/h The filter media and hoses should be cleaned when these levels are reduced by about 50 %. Maintenance and care Caution: Regular maintenance and cleaning of the filter is vital to prevent a loss in the pumping capacity. All JBL CRISTALPROFI

greenline external filters are supplied with a standard filling of filter media to provide clean and healthy aquarium water for “normal“ operation. The filters pro- vide extremely good conditions for the development of colonies of cleansing bacteria which play an essential role in the breakdown of pollutants. Mechanical pre-filtering ensures that these bacteria can efficiently carry out their task undisturbed for as long as possible. You can of course adapt to your special needs by selecting from the wide range of available JBL filter media. Depending on your choice of filter media, this may influence the pumping capacity of your filter and the length of time the filter media can be used.

Cleaning or replacing filter media Make sure to always disconnect the mains plug before carrying out any work on the filter! Turn the two small stopcock levers on the pump head to the stop position (●) opposite the “OPEN” mark. Lift the middle lever on the hose connection block as far up as possible and push to the stop position. This slightly lifts the hose connection block out of its seat. Pull upwards to lift the hose connection block out. The ball valves in the hose connection block are now closed and retain the water in the hoses. This prevents accidental opening e.g. by children and any associated unwanted leakage of water. Open the 4 locking clips on the filter canister and remove the pump head. Remove the filter baskets with the filter media and rinse the filter media in lukewarm water (25°C). Never wash ALL the filter media at the same time, as too many beneficial cleansing bacteria would be washed away. The JBL CRISTALPROFI

filters of the e range are designed so that, as a rule, only the pre-filter material (F1) has to be cleaned whilst the remaining filter material must be cleaned at longer intervals.

zh26 Tip: Do not forget to clean all the hoses and pipes regularly with an appropriate brush (e.g. JBL Cleany), as bacterial deposits on the inside of the pump drastically reduce the pumping capacity of the filter.

Function and replacement intervals of the individual filter media (F1) JBL Pre-filter media

echanical pre-filter media made of coarse foam cut into a T-profile to absorb as much coarse dirt as possible. These media should be changed every 2 months. They can be rinsed once or twice. (F2) High capacity biological filter balls (JBL MicroMec): JBL MicroMec is a highly porous biological filter medium made from sintered glass and with a special surface and pore structure, which provides excellent conditions for colonisa- tion by beneficial cleansing bacteria. This allows an effective biological breakdown of pol- lutants. It is therefore particularly well suited for intensive long-term filtration in freshwater and marine aquariums. The round shape and varying diameter of the balls produce a self- cleaning effect. As a result, this filter material only needs rinsing briefly every 6 – 12 months, depending on the amount of dirt. Change when the balls begin to disintegrate. Filter media to solve particular problems can be found in Chapters 12 and 13. (F3) Filter foam (JBL UniBloc): Foam pads with medium-sized pores for effective biological filtering thanks to optimal colo- nisation conditions for cleansing bacteria. The pads have a section which can be removed to insert filter media for special problem solutions. Careful cleaning is required every 6 months. Replace pad after three to four cleans. Only clean or change one of the two pads at a time and in alternation. (F4) Filter foam A fine-pored foam pad for the lower part of the new combi filter basket II. The fine-pored pad catches particles of dirt which could otherwise damage the pump, and is a biological filter. The fine pad needs to be cleaned about every 4 months or as required (if pumping capacity deteriorates). Replace after three to four cleans. (F1 + F4 = JBL Combi Bloc II) (F5) Cotton fleece (JBL SymecPad) These fleece pads are not a standard feature of the filter and are only available as an acces- sory from your specialist retailer. High-quality fleece pads for mechanical fine filtering. The pads can be inserted into any CRISTALPROFI

filter basket. We strongly recommend their use during the last filter step, e.g. as a replacement for the fine-pored filter foam pad in the lower part of the combi filter basket II. The fineness of the SymecPads can result in a rapid reduction of the filter performance. Therefore a change or a cleaning every 2 weeks is rec- ommended.27

Cleaning the hoses Bacteria settle in the hoses producing slime, which can significantly obstruct the flow of water. Algae growth only occurs in strong light. The hoses should therefore be cleaned reg- ularly with a cleaning brush (e.g. JBL Cleany). Simply rinsing with tap water is not enough!

Cleaning the impeller and casing Turn the cover of the impeller casing anti-clockwise towards “Open” and remove the cover by pulling gently. Pull the impeller out of the casing. CAUTION: the impeller is held in the casing by magnetic force. Take appropriate care when removing the impeller, making sure to avoid injuring your fingers. The ceramic shaft is held by two rubber bearings, which remain either on the shaft or on the bottom of the impeller casing, or in the middle of the casing cover, when the impeller is removed. Clean the impeller casing, impeller and shaft with a suitable cleaning brush, then rinse in clean water. Limescale can be easily removed by soaking in JBL Clean A (available at your specialist retailer). Never dip the pump head in water or other liquid to clean it. Use a damp cloth (e.g. JBL WishWash) to clean the surface of the casing. Place the ceramic shaft and impeller back in the casing. Check that both rubber bearings are present and correctly positioned for the ceramic shaft. Put the impeller cover back in and, pressing gently, turn the cover towards “CLOSE” until the stop point. Please note: If the impeller has to be replaced due to wear and tear, the complete set com- prising the impeller with the shaft and 2 rubber bearings must be replaced. Only this way can flawless operation and quiet running be guaranteed. When the impeller and shaft are removed, a rubber bearing often adheres to the base of the impeller casing where it is very difficult to remove. JBL has produced a special tool for this purpose which is available at specialist pet shops under the name “Extraction tool for impeller bearing”. A useful clean- ing brush for the impeller casing comes with the tool.

Re-starting the filter Place the pump head back on the filter canister and close the locking clips as described in (1). Place the hose connection block with the attached hoses back in position as described in (2). Then turn the right-hand stopcock lever towards “OPEN” until the stop point. Repeat with the left-hand lever a few seconds later. If the water does not begin to run into the filter automatically, start the filter as described in (5). Connect the filter to the mains power supply.

Filter media for problem solutions (available at your specialist retailer)

Filter material to use with foam edge The following filter materials are most effective in a relatively slow water flow. In the e-series JBL CRISTALPROFI

filters, a slow water flow is achieved by a two-stage principle. The filter foam F3 (JBL UniBloc) is pre-cut so that an oval core area can be taken out and replaced by special filter media in finely meshed net bags. Optimal efficiency is thus achieved by the water flowing slowly through the special filter media, whilst at the same time the medium-sized pore struc

ture of the foam edge means that the overall water flow through the filter is obstructed as little as possible. The following filter materials are suitable for this purpose: JBL CarboMec - High-capacity active carbon Removes residue medication, water discolouration and high molecular pollution from fresh water and salt water. Virtually no increase in conductivity and phosphate levels in the water. JBL PhosEx ultra - Solves algae problems by reliably removing phosphate Prevents and eliminates undesirable algae growth by removing the main nutrient, phos- phate, from fresh water and salt water. JBL NitratEx - Nitrate remover Eliminates nitrate from fresh water. Prevents and eliminates the growth of undesirable algae by reliably removing the nutrient, nitrate, from fresh water. Exchange resin can be regener- ated with cooking salt. JBL ClearMec - Pollutant remover for crystal-clear water without algae trouble A mixture of clay pellets and special resins removes the pollutants, phosphate, nitrate and nitrite, from fresh water, thereby preventing undesirable algae growth. The clay pellets pro-31 mote colonisation by cleansing bacteria and additionally support the biological breakdown of pollutants. The result is crystal-clear, healthy water.

Filter material to use without foam edge The following filter media hardly slow down the flow of water in the filter and therefore do not require foam edge. The amount contained in the pack is specifically measured for filter baskets of the JBL CRISTALPROFI

e range of filters. JBL MicroMec - High capacity biological filter pellets JBL MicroMec is a highly porous biological filter medium made from sintered glass and with a special surface and pore structure, which provides excellent conditions for colonisation thanks to beneficial cleansing bacteria. This allows an effective biological breakdown of pollutants. It is therefore particularly well suited for intensive long-term filtration in freshwater and marine aquariums. JBL CerMec - Ceramic rings A mechanical filter medium which, though, also acts biologically as a result of colonising by cleansing bacteria. The ring shape makes it especially well-suited for directing water flow in all directions, thereby ensuring optimal flow through the filter. JBL TorMec - Active peat pellets for natural tropical water JBL TorMec Pellets are pressed from two peat components with differing amounts of humic substances. This produces a rapid initial effect and an evenly dosed long-term effect. JBL TorMec reduces the carbonate hardness and the pH level due to the high level of humic substances. It also helps prevent algae by slightly discolouring the water and therefore filter- ing out certain sections of the light spectrum, as in natural tropical waters.
