• Maximum pressure 0.4 bar (5.8 psi.).<br />
• Always keep UV-C units and UV-C lamps out of the<br />
reach of children!<br />
• Ensure that there is sufficient water flow through<br />
the sera fil bioactive + UV external filter before<br />
switching on the UV-C lamp. A minimum flow rate<br />
must be ensured also during operation.<br />
• Too frequent “ON/OFF” switching reduces the life<br />
expectancy of the UV-C lamp.<br />
• Ensure that the electrical plug of the switched-on<br />
unit is freely accessible at all times.<br />
• Damage of the pump head, the cable or the plug<br />
must not be repaired! In this case the filter must<br />
immediately be disconnected from mains supply,<br />
and must not be operated any more. This also applies<br />
in case of intended alterations of these<br />
parts. This kind of damage must not be repaired<br />
or mended. In case of damage or leakage at the filter<br />
canister, at the seals, or in the parts that contain<br />
water, the filter must immediately been taken<br />
apart and repaired.<br />
• The filter must be connected with a fault current<br />
protection switch (RCD 30 mA).<br />
Warning<br />
1. Children should be supervised to ensure that they<br />
do not play with the appliance.<br />
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons<br />

3. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced<br />
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly<br />
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.<br />

Troubleshooting<br />
Problem Possible cause Possible solution<br />
Filter does not pump water Too much air inside the filter Use pump handle, if necessary<br />
open and fill with aquarium water<br />
by 3/4<br />
No electrical supply<br />
Rotor does not move<br />
Connect to power/mains supply<br />
Take off filter head and clean<br />
Outlet valve is not open Throw multi-purpose handle (3.5)<br />
Pump performance is very low Too much air inside the filter Use pump handle (3.10)<br />
Filter is clogged<br />
Clean filter, if necessary replace<br />
filter media with new ones<br />
For units with UV-C lamp<br />
Control LED is not lit No electrical supply Check plug<br />
Cloudiness/algae remain<br />
unaffected<br />
UV-C lamp is not properly<br />
connected<br />
UV-C lamp faulty<br />
No bacterial cause, mineral<br />
cloudiness<br />
UV-C lamp faulty/too old<br />
Check cable connection<br />
Replace lamp unit<br />
Clean or replace filter mat (floss)<br />
and sponge, water change<br />
Replace lamp unit<br />
Recommendations<br />
• Additionally secure all hose connections with<br />
stainless steel hose clamps.<br />
• Always carry the filter by supporting the bottom.<br />
Never lift it by the filter head, its external parts or<br />
its hose connections.<br />
• Replace all hoses and the filter head seal every<br />
2 years. Grease the filter head seal with Vaseline<br />
every time before you close the filter.<br />
• Place the filter into a plastic bowl. Direct a hose<br />
and cable loop into the bowl to avoid damage<br />
caused by dripping water.<br />
