Thank you for choosing Ferplast. BLUMODULAR is a new product by Ferplast, the world for small animals that is safe, stylish, innovative, and high quality that fully respects the life and health of fish and plants. BLUMODULAR filters already have everything they need to function properly. Every component is type-approved and conforms to relative international standards on safety.
PRELIMINARY WARNINGS
Before carrying out any operation, please read the information below carefully to protect your safety and to prevent damage to the product.
- Make sure that the voltage indicated on the device corresponds with the mains voltage.
- Make sure that your home is protected by residual current circuit breaker with a tripping current no higher than 30 mA.
- Do not connect the filter to the mains before completing the installation operations (including filling of the tank).
• The filter is for indoor use.
- Before carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect all of the underwater electrical devices from the mains.
- Run the BLUMODULAR filter so that its pump is always at least partially underwater.
- When connecting the filter to the power supply, ensure that the lowest point of the cable is lower than the electrical socket so that drops of water do not accidentally run down the cable and
into the power supply (Fig. B).
- The power supply cable has Z-type wiring, so it cannot be repaired or replaced: If damaged, have the entire device replaced.
- Periodically verify that the filter's intake grilles are never completely obstructed.
- The water temperature must not exceed 35^ C .
- This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
- Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years.
IMPORTANT - Within the European Union, a crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on the product, documentation or packaging indicates that the product cannot be disposed of in the regular household waste stream, in compliance with EU Directive 2012/19/EC and with current local regulations. The product must be disposed of at recycling centres or authorised waste disposal centres for electrical and electronic equipment, in accordance with current legislation in the country where the product is found. Incorrect disposal of this type of waste can have a negative impact on the environment and human health, caused by

Opening the BLUMODULAR filter package
The BLUMODULAR filter package contains:
1 BLUMODULAR filter complete with:
• filter sponges, pump.
• 1 or 2 filter supports.
• 1 spray-bar with cap.
1 BLUMODULAR accessories kit complete with:
- 1 silicone tube with regulator and connector for Venturi system;
• 1 flow regulator;
- 1 diffuser;
- 6 suction cups.
Check the integrity of all of the components.
Although Ferplast uses safe packaging and individually inspects each product, we recommend checking for accidental damage that can occur during shipping, storage and sale, which could compromise the product's initial characteristics, functionality and safety.
BLUMODULAR 01 · 02 · 03 filters
Indoor modular filter with adjustable flow, available in 3 different versions (1, 2 or 3 modules) with high filtering capacity.
- MECHANICAL FILTRATION. Modules containing synthetic sponges for selective elimination of particles and organic waste. To remove the module, simply press the two side tabs and extract it (Fig. C). Other modules can be added to the modular system, if desired.
- SPRAY-BAR AND VENTURI EFFECT (Fig. E/O). The package includes a spray-bar that guarantees optimum diffusion of the discharged water and a Venturi system for oxygenation.
- DIRECTIONAL NOZZLE (Fig. F). The nozzle can direct the flow of the water being discharged from the filter with a range of 0 to 180°.
- PANEL (Fig. N). An innovative system that automatically closes the water intake grilles to prevent the dirt in the filter from returning to the tank during maintenance operations.
Installing the BLUMODULAR filter
Position the BLUMODULAR filter inside the tank as desired (on the side or the rear). You can use the special supports with the
suction cups. One or two may be inserted at the top or bottom of the filter (Fig. H). If you have a CAYMAN fish tank, you can use the special guides on the upper edge of the tank (Fig. I). If you like, add the accessories:
• diffuser: for directing the flow of water (Fig. D);
- Venturi regulator: for creating bubbles that exit the filter's outlet. After attaching the Venturi system connector to the filter's outlet (Fig. E), connect the silicone tube and regulator to the air intake;
- flow regulator: rotate the regulator clockwise to increase the flow or counter-clockwise to decrease it (Fig. G);
- spray-bar: with relative end cap (Fig. 0).
BLUMODULAR is a versatile filter that can be used for various purposes in any fish tank. It could be used to clean the water as the main filter in small fish tanks or medium-sized fish tanks that contain few fish, or as a secondary filter (better if combined with a bio filter like Ferplast's line of BLUWAVE bio filters), with the following filtering materials: BLUCARBON activated carbon, BLUZEOLITE zeolite, BLUFIBRE synthetic fiber, resins and other adsorbent or chemical materials. BLUMODULAR helps keep water clear even in overpopulated fish tanks. Modules (that may be combined and added at will) let various materials be used simultaneously, guaranteeing high power suction and rapid flow. The provided materials may be replaced as desired. In any case, a large mesh sponge should be used in the first module (at the bottom) to trap large particles. The others may be filled as desired. (Be careful when using especially dense materials like fine Perlon; if it is too dense, the flow rate could be significantly reduced and/or the filter could clog easily. These materials should be placed in the last module at the top under the pump).
Maintaining BLUMODULAR filters
The primary recommended maintenance operations are shown below:
1 (Fig. L). Rinse all of the mechanical filtration sponges at least every 2-3 weeks.
2 Replace the mechanical filtration sponges at least every 6 months. Use only original Ferplast spare parts.
3 The adsorbent sponge wears out in 2-3 weeks. We therefore recommend replacing it, if necessary, with original spare parts available at specialized stores or
leaving it in the filter with mechanical filtration, taking care to rinse it every 2-3 weeks. In any case, it must be changed at least every 6 months.
4 When treating fish with special medications, the adsorbent sponge must be removed from the filter (to avoid diminishing their beneficial effects). After this period, a new sponge should be introduced into the filter.
5 Always keep the filter's intake grilles clean.
6 (Fig. M) Check the BLUMODULAR filter's pump at least every 6 months. Clean as follows, when necessary:
- Disconnect power to the pump.
- Remove the BLUMODULAR filter from the tank.
- Remove the cover by pressing the two side tabs and extract the rotor. If necessary, replace it with an original Ferplast spare part.
- Eliminate any lime deposits and impurities using a soft toothbrush (do not use detergents or chemical substances).
- Reassemble the unit, following these instructions in reverse.
Important:
- If the second or third BLUMODULAR filter is being used as the main filter, never clean all of the sponges at the same time. Alternately clean them at least every 15 days to maintain the bacterial associations that make the filter biologically active.
- When reassembling the BLUMODULAR filter after maintenance, make sure that the panels at the bottom of the filter are properly positioned (Fig. N).
- Use only Ferplast original spare parts to replace the filter's components. The use of non-original spare parts annuls the warranty.
Spare parts and accessories
Every part of the filter can be easily replaced. Spare parts are available at stores where the filter was purchased. Numerous Ferplast accessories that are continuously updated, useful for adapting the filter to all kinds of needs, are also available. To replace a component and always guarantee your product's maximum operation and safety, only original Ferplast spare parts must be used. The installation of non-original spare parts annuls the warranty.
