The Fluval 2 Plus Underwater Filter is a powerful and economical submersible filter. It is easy to care for, quiet, and effective. The Fluval 2 is a great mechanical filter for any small aquarium, turtle or reptile tank with up to 24 gallons of water. The Fluval 2 has a flow rate of 105 gph and uses 120v/5watts.
The double filter cartridge comes with two foam pads and allows for alternate replacement for continuous biological filter activity. The filter cartridge also has a designated area for optional media such as Polyester Filter Pads or Special Carbon Filter Pads (not included).It also features a clogging indicator that will indicate when the filter media needs to be maintained.
The 90 degree Swivel Spout directs the flow output and allows a change of flow pattern in the aquarium. The Water Flow Adjuster can be used to increase or decrease the flow output for feeding or other requirements. An Air Flow Control Device is also included to create a Venturi Effect for added aeration. This filter is specially designed to sit vertically or horizontally.
Instructions:
To clean the filter, first slide the filter out of the suction cup bracket, keeping it in the vertical position to avoid releasing the debris collected inside the debris reservior.Next, separate the filter body from the motor by squeezing the two release arms on the side of the filter body. Gently pull the filter media cartridge out of the filter body.Open the two halves of the filter cartridge and remove the two foam pads. Rinse the foam pads in water taken from the aquarium in a partial water change. After rinsing, put the foam back in the filter case. To clean the impeller, grasp the impeller fan and pull out the impeller. Rinse off any slimy buildup that has accumulated on the magnetic impeller and in the impeller well.
