Specifications：

UTC Modular Canister Filter w/ UV Sterilizer Equipped with UV Sterilizer that will aid in the disease control and keep water clear efficiently and reliably Separate filtering baskets with various filtering media allowing efficient four steps filtration: mechanical, biological, chemical and UV Sterilizer UV Sterilizer uses a 5 watt UV bulb

ViaAqua® Modular Canister Filters are designed to be one of the most efficient water filtration systems on the market. The water is forced through large filter media containers eliminating water channeling and water bypass. The multi-stage filtering containers hold large amounts of filtering medias for maximum filtration. The stackable filter media containers come with a bio sponge and white polishing filter pad. The media containers can be filled with your choice of bio media, carbon and/or other resins. The motor has a build-in shut-off valve and quick release hose connectors, recessed water seal gasket and large lock clamps to secure the motor to the canister body. The ViaAqua® Canister Filter quietly and efficiently filters aquatic environments from 10 gal. to 240 gal.

Maintenance：

To ensure optimum filtering and to maintain full water flow, regular maintenance is required. It is recommended to clean or change filtering media at least once every 4 weeks. Decreased water flow is a sign of clogged filter media.

1. Unplug the unit from the GFCI outlet. Prior to maintenance on any electrical aquarium appliance or maintenance to the aquarium, you must disconnect all electrical aquarium devices.
2. Remove valve/tap connectors from pump lid.
3. If cover is removed without removing valve/tap connectors, water will siphon onto the floor.
4. Remove the canister and place in an area suitable for maintanence.
5. Flip out each of the four lid housing clips and release the pump motor housing. The motor housing cannot be lifted off the canister.
6. Remove the filter strainer and remove the media containers one at a time using the handle. Note: The media containers need to be replaced in the same order as removed.
7. Replace filter pads and medians.
8. Clean the canister and impeller/impeller housing.
   – Remove the impeller cover.
   – Remove the impeller and shaft, clean with water. With a small brush clean the inside of the impeller well.
   – Do not clean with soap.
   – Reassemble.
9. Apply a small amount of silicone sealant to the gasket/O-ring to ensure a good seal.
10. Install according to the directions for installation.

NOTE: When starting the filter after routine maintenance, canister can be placed without water. Replace valve and tubing tap connector. Once valve is sealed in place, a siphon will start filling the canister. Once all air is forced out of the unit, canister, and tubes are filled with water, restart the unit.
