Product Description
-------------------
The Fluval C3 Power Filter features 5 stages of filtration: 2
mechanical, 1 and 2 biological stages for top
performance. The C3 Power Filter is equipped with the Fluval C3
Poly/Foam, Activated Carbon, C-nodes and Bio-Screen pad. An
integrated trickle chamber filled with C-Nodes is where
biological filtration is super charged for fast and efficient
nitrification. The mechanical filtration is performed by a dual
layer of foam and polyester, and is easily removed for quick
cleaning. The patented recirculation grid enhances mechanical
filtration when the flow rate is reduced. A convenient
insert basket directs water flow to maximize toxin removal.
Maintaining only one stage at a time will preserve beneficial
bacteria, resulting in a stress-free environment, while ensuring
aquarium water stays clear. The Fluval C3 Power Filter clips on,
and is ideal for use on aquariums up to thirty gallons. It is the
perfect way to provide your fish with refreshing and clear water.

Fluval C Series Power Filter
Maximum Versatility and Premium Performance
-------------------------------------------
Engineered to create superior water quality, the Fluval C Power
Filter provides extensive 5-stage filtration for outstanding
results. The Power Filter is designed to provide maximum surface
area and optimum dwell times in all stages of the filtration
process.
New 5 Stage Filtration System
-----------------------------
Stage 1 & 2: Mechanical- Poly/Foam Pad Effective mechanical
filtration is essential for efficient and biological
filtration. The large surface area of the Poly/Foam pad
effectively performs two stages of Mechanical filtration. The
first stage of porous foam traps large particles and the second
stage of dense polyester captures fine debris.
Stage 3: - Activated Carbon Insert The Fluval Activated
Carbon Filter Insert contains 100% premium research grade carbon,
which provides large as of surface area for adsorption of
undesirable impurities. The activated carbon filter insert
removes unwanted odors, discoloration and impurities, resulting
in a crystal clear aquarium.
Stage 4: Biological-Bio-Screen An additional hydraulic circuit
conveys part of the intake water to the Bio-Screen placed at the
top of the Trickle Chamber cover. Fluval’s Bio-Screen removes any
debris before dripping into the biological chamber. It also
ensures that the water pumped to the Trickle Chamber is evenly
spread through all areas before it drips on the C-Nodes, which
are contained in the chamber. The motion of water dropping slowly
through the grids mimics the rain.
Stage 5: Biological- C-Nodes The surface of the C-Nodes is made
up of a complex pore system that provides optimal living space
for beneficial bacteria to thrive and enhance the removal of
ammonia and nitrites. The new “Star Shape” provides a higher
filtration surface and more biological power than a traditional
cartridge, resulting in a y aquarium environment.
Patented Refiltration System
----------------------------
Sometimes delicate fish and s require a more gentle water
flow. Fluvals’ patented re-filtration system allows you to
control the flow rate without compromising filtration efficiency.
When the flow rate is reduced, up to 50% of the water within the
filter chamber is re-processed multiple times. More impurities
are filtered out, creating a ier tank with sparkling clean
and clear water

Power Filter Maintenance
------------------------
For optimal performance it is recommended to clean the impeller
cover assembly once a year. The motor should be thoroughly
cleaned every three months. Always unplug the Fluval C Power
Filter prior to cleaning. Remove cover, filter media and did
water remaining in the filter case. Thoroughly rinse collected
debris from the case, impeller cover and impeller assembly using
clear lukewarm water. The intake "U" tube and extension tube can
be cleaned with a filter stem brush to remove any buildup of
deposits. When all parts have been cleaned and thoroughly rinsed,
reassemble filter and replace any scheduled media. Install the
filter once again back on the aquarium making sure that the
filter is tipped slightly forward. Then fill the Fluval C filter
box with aquarium water. Finally plug the filter into an
electrical outlet and the Fluval C Power Filter will self-prime
and begin running in a few seconds.
