100/200/300, referred to as "unit", may only be used
as specified in the following:
•FiltoSmart: Water filtering and recirculation.

Function description
C
Drawn in by a pump in the unit head, the water flows
through two filter chambers arranged next to each
other. Then the water flows back into the aquarium via
the flow-out pipe or water distributor.
Foam filters with different pore densities, and acti-
vated carbon/ceramic substrate serve as filter media.
In units with heater, the water is heated during its pas-
sage through the filter system.
Retrofitting
FiltoSmart 100/200/300 can be retrofitted with OASE
HeatUp (following table).
•The retrofit set ThermoFit (following order num-
bers) is required for installation.

COMMISSIONING/START-UP
NOTE
Thoroughly rinse out all filter material with warm tap
water before using for the first time in order to remove
any soiling. (→ Cleaning/replacing the filter media)
NOTE
Ensure that the pump never runs dry!
The pump will be destroyed.
•Regularly check the water level and circulation in
the filter and in the aquarium.

NOTE
Risk of fire due to the hot surface of the heater!
The heater and filter can be destroyed by the gener-
ated heat.
•Do not switch the heater on until the filter is com-
pletely filled with water, switched on and the water
is continuously circulated.
•Switch off the heater and allow it to cool down be-
fore removing it from the water.
How to proceed:
Q
•Completely fill the container with water and place it
next to the aquarium.
–Fill the container via the opening for the heater.
For this, remove the heater or blind plug. (→ Re-
moving the heater)
–When starting it up for the first time, ensure that
the connection unit is max. 80 cm below the sur-
face of the water. Ensure that the water outlet
(flow-out pipe or water distributor) is not sub-
merged.
–A completely filled filter may be more than 80 cm
below the surface of the water. Note the maxi-
mum head height. (→ Technical data)
•Route each power connection cable such that it
forms a drip loop.
•Unit with heater: Set the water temperature on the
heater. (→ Heater operating manual).
Switching on: Connect the unit to the mains. The unit
switches on immediately. When the unit is switched
on, it takes several minutes for the air to escape from
the unit (this makes a noise).
•Adjust the flow at the flow regulator if necessary.
(→ Assembling the suction unit)
Switching off: Disconnect the unit from the mains.
•Unit with heater: Disconnect the unit and heater
from the power supply

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
•If necessary, clean with clear water using a soft
brush.
•Do not use cleaning agents or chemical solutions.
We recommend using OASE PumpClean for remov-
ing calcium deposits.
•Cleaning and replacement cycles for filter media are
dependent on the size of the aquarium and the
number of fish. Therefore, it is necessary to clean
and replace the filter media as required to ensure
optimum filter performance.
•If there are several foam filters: Clean or replace the
foam filters at different times. This saves enough
useful bacteria to ensure good biological filtration
of the water.
Cleaning/replacing the filter media
NOTE
Thoroughly rinse out all filter material with warm tap
water before using for the first time in order to remove
any soiling. (→ Cleaning/replacing the filter media)
