Frequently Asked Questions - PowerLine XL EHEIM

How to install the EHEIM PowerLine XL filter in my aquarium?

Attach the suction cups to the mounting rails, then choose the outflow tubing or the diffuser. Open the locking slides and immerse the filter to the minimum depth indicated in the instruction manual. Plug in after forming a drip loop on the cable to prevent water.

What is the function of the air diffuser?

The diffuser produces fine oxygen bubbles, ideal for saltwater aquariums or without plants. The regulating clamp on the air hose allows adjustment of oxygen flow.

How to clean the filter pump?

Unplug the filter, unlock the locking ring and remove the pump elements. Clean them thoroughly with the EHEIM brush set (ref. 4009560) under running water, then reassemble in reverse order. Never run the pump dry.

How often should I replace the filter cartridges?

Wash or replace the cartridges alternately to avoid interrupting biological filtration. Replace them as soon as the pump flow decreases, usually every 2-3 months depending on the aquarium load.

Can I use the PowerLine XL filter in a saltwater aquarium?

Yes, the diffuser is specially adapted for saltwater. However, be sure to rinse the parts well after cleaning and follow the maintenance instructions.

Can the filter be mounted horizontally?

Yes, the mounting rails can be slid onto the side walls, allowing you to orient the filter in any direction according to your needs.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

The cable cannot be replaced; use of the device is prohibited if damaged. Contact your dealer or EHEIM customer service.

The filter makes an unusual noise, what to do?

Check that the pump is not clogged and is properly immersed. Clean the pump elements with the brush. If the noise persists, the rotor may be worn; contact customer service.

What are the important safety precautions?

Always unplug all devices before putting your hand in the water. Form a drip loop on the cable to prevent water from reaching the plug. Never clean the filter in the dishwasher. Magnetic fields can affect pacemakers: keep a safe distance.

Where can I buy spare parts?

Filter cartridges (ref. 2615480), tray with cartridge (ref. 7478860) and brush set (ref. 4009560) are available from authorized EHEIM dealers or online.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING — To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following.

a)

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

b) DANGER — To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs by yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.

1) If the appliance falls into the water, DON'T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only)
2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immedi-

ately unplug it from the power source. (Immersible equipment only).

3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
4) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.

A "drip-loop", shown in the figure below, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The "drip-loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.

POWER SUPPLY CORD DRIP LOOP

If the plug or socket does get wet, DON'T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

c) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
d) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
e) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
f) Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
g) Do not install or store the appliances where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
h) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
i) Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
j) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

k) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Exception: This instruction may be omitted for an appliance that is not provided with a polarized attachment plug.

1) "SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS".

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance should be grounded to minimize the possibility of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding-type plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all appropriate codes and ordinances.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear (lug, etc.) extending from the adapter must be fastened to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
