PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Intended use

BioPlus 50/100/200, referred to as "unit", may only be used as specified in the following:

• BioPlus: Water filtering and recirculation
- BioPlus Thermo: Water heating, filtering and recirculation.
- Operate in accordance with instructions.

The following restrictions apply to the unit:

• Only use indoors and for aquaristic purposes in the home (not for commercial use).
• Only operate with water at a water temperature of +4 °C to +35 °C.

Function description

□ B

Path of the water: Drawn in by a pump into the pump unit, the water flows through the filter modules, arranged above each other in stages to form the filter unit. Each filter module is equipped with a foam filter and/or filter fleece (top filter module). The water enters the filter module through the inlet on the side and exits through the small flow-out nozzles or the central outlet, depending on the position of the outlet control knob.

BioPlus Thermo: The water is heated by a heater on its way through the filter unit.

Retrofitting

□ C

By additionally purchasing an OASE heater HeatUp it is possible to extend BioPlus to BioPlus Thermo. After removal of the cap, simply insert the selected HeatUp (see following table), which is suitable for the BioPlus and the size of the aquarium, into the heater chamber.

O: Suitable ●: Particularly recommended

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

NOTE

Ensure that the pump never runs dry!

Possible consequences: The pump will be destroyed.

Protective measure: Regularly check the water level in the aquarium.

NOTE

Thoroughly rinse out all filter material with warm tap water before using for the first time in order to remove any soiling. ( Cleaning or replacing the filter media)

□ D, E, B

The supplied suction cups serve for fastening the unit to a clean, smooth surface.

• Push the suction cups into the mounting holes of the pump unit with a twisting movement.
• Pay attention to the alignment of the tab (it should point upwards or to the side).
• Fasten the unit in a corner of the aquarium: Ensure that the flow-out nozzles are just below the surface of the water.

COMMISSIONING/START-UP

□ E, B

• Route each power connection cable such that it forms a drip loop.
• BioPlus Thermo: Adjust the temperature at the thermo-control heater HeatUp (separately enclosed instructions).

Switching on: Connect the unit to the mains. The unit switches on immediately. When the unit is switched on, it takes several minutes for the air to escape from the unit (this makes a noise).

- Use the outlet control knob to determine which water outlet is used (central outlet or flow-out nozzles).

Switching off: Disconnect the unit from the mains.

SPARE PARTS

The use of original parts from OASE ensures continued safe and reliable operation of the unit.

Please visit our website for spare parts drawings and spare parts.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

For cleaning and maintenance, first separate the filter unit from the pump unit and then remove both units from the water.

• Maintenance of the pump unit involves cleaning the central outlet, flow-out nozzles and impeller unit.
• If necessary, clean with clear water using a soft brush.
• Do not use cleaning agents or chemical solutions. We recommend using OASE PumpClean for removing calcium deposits.
• Cleaning and replacement cycles for filter media such as foam filters are dependent on the size of the aquarium and the number of fish. Therefore, it is necessary to clean and replace the filter media as required to ensure optimum filter performance.
• If there are several foam filters: Clean or replace the foam filters at different times. This saves enough useful bacteria to ensure good biological filtration of the water.
• Recommendation for clear water: Replace the filter fleece at least each time the filter sponges are cleaned.

Cleaning or replacing the filter media

□ F

• Carefully pull the filter unit from the pump unit (magnetic holder) and remove from the aquarium.
• Separate the filter modules (press the button).
• Empty the filter modules over a wash basin and rinse the foam filters or filter fleece under warm water or replace.

Cleaning the heater unit

□ C

• BioPlus Thermo: Remove the heater and clean according to the separately enclosed instructions.
• Also clean the chamber for the heater.

Pump unit maintenance

□ G

• Remove the pump unit.
• Release the suction cups with the aid of the tab.
• Pull up the nozzle unit and separate it from the base plate.
• Clean the central outlet and flow-out nozzles.
• Reassemble the unit in the reverse order.
  □H
• Pull the pump lid off downward.
