Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your Eheim Pro4+ filter and to maintain healthy aquarium conditions.

• Pre-filter Cleaning (Every 2-4 Weeks): The coarse filter sponges (pre-filter) should be cleaned regularly. Disconnect power, close the quick-release valve, and remove the filter head. Rinse the sponges thoroughly with old aquarium water (from a water change) to preserve beneficial bacteria. Do not use tap water directly as chlorine can harm bacteria.
• Fine Filter Pad Replacement (Every 1-3 Months): The fine filter pads will eventually become clogged and should be replaced. Replace only one pad at a time if multiple are used, or replace the single fine pad as needed.
• Biological Media Maintenance (Every 6-12 Months): Biological media rarely needs full replacement. If cleaning is necessary, rinse gently with old aquarium water. Only replace a small portion of biological media at a time to avoid disrupting the nitrogen cycle.
• Impeller Cleaning (Every 3-6 Months): Disassemble the impeller housing in the filter head and clean the impeller and its shaft. Remove any debris or mineral buildup that could impede its rotation.
• Hose Cleaning (As Needed): Over time, algae and debris can build up inside the hoses, reducing flow. Use a flexible brush to clean the inside of the hoses.
• Fífún O-Oruka: Periodically inspect and lubricate the O-ring on the filter head with silicone grease to ensure a watertight seal.
