Frequently Asked Questions - Pico Filter Ferplast
How to install the Pico Filter?
Clean the glass surface where the filter will be attached, then press the suction cups firmly against the glass. Position the filter so that the water outlet is below the water level for quiet operation and proper circulation. Make sure the power cable forms a drip loop (lowest point of the cable below the socket).
How to adjust the water flow?
Turn the adjustment tap located on top of the filter. It offers 7 positions to adapt the flow to your needs. A lower flow reduces noise, a higher flow ensures efficient water circulation.
How to clean the filter?
Always unplug the device before maintenance. Separate the filter from the pump and remove the impeller. Clean the impeller and its housing with a soft brush to remove lime deposits. Rinse the filter cartridge (sponge) under running lukewarm water. Reassemble in reverse order. Never use solvents or detergents.
How often should I replace the sponge?
The sponge should be replaced as soon as it is worn or deformed. Its lifespan depends on the aquarium's biological load. Regular rinsing extends its life, but it should be changed at least every 2-3 months for optimal filtration.
What if the filter is noisy?
First check that the water outlet is below the water level. A clicking noise may indicate that the impeller is dirty or misaligned. Clean the impeller and its housing. Make sure the filter is securely attached and not vibrating against the glass.
Can I fully submerge the filter?
Yes, the filter is designed for full immersion up to a maximum depth of 1 meter. Never exceed this limit and ensure the power cable remains accessible outside the water.
What if the power cable is damaged?
The cable is type Z and cannot be repaired or replaced. If the cable is damaged, you must replace the entire filter. Do not use it and unplug it immediately.
Can I use the filter in saltwater?
The filter is not specifically designed for saltwater, but it can be used if the temperature does not exceed 35 °C. Corrosion of metal parts (impeller) may be accelerated. Regular rinsing with fresh water is recommended.
How to attach the filter to the glass?
Clean the inside glass of the aquarium. Slightly moisten the suction cups for better adhesion. Press the filter firmly against the glass with a quick push. Check the attachment after a few hours.
What is the warranty on the filter?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects and includes free repair or replacement. It is excluded for damages due to improper use, negligence, normal wear, or incorrect repair. Wear parts (foams, seals) are not covered.
