Tetratec Ex700 Filter Maintenance

Afternoon people





Do I need to clean my filter out?

Water is CRYSTAL clear, flow rate fine, ammonia, nitrates and nitrates zero, only it has been running for 3 months now...

Is it a case of what will smith says?

"If it aint broke then dont try to fix it?"

Any help appreciated...

very true, mine tend to get clogged enough to clean about every 3-4 months, just rinse out the crap in some tank water and away you go

How do you decide that it is "clogged"

water flow rate?

ye the flow rate will drop significantly
