C) The mechanical cartridge clogs too early.
A) I'm not able to pull out the mechanical pre-filter and/or chemical cartridge(s).
The knob of the cartridge has not been completely turned to the un-lock position, or the power has not been turned off.
Be sure to turn the knob fully counter-clockwise to remove the cartridges.
The power has not been removed from the filter causing suction on the cartridge.

Make sure always to remove the power before performing any maintenance procedures.
B) I'm not able to close the mechanical pre-filter and chemical cartridges.

The cartridges' bayonets have not been inserted in the correct position.
The cartridges have been inserted with the wrong orientation.
Water level inside the filter has increased due to wrong operations, and this hinders cartridge closing.
There is a foreign object inside the filter.
The cartridge's cup has become stuck because they have not been correctly installed. Remove the cartridges and repeat the operation.

C) The mechanical cartridge clogs too early.
The mechanical cartridge is a high efficiency by-pass-free filter. Everything captured by the filter remains trapped within it. The mechanical filter screen has been designed so that there is a calculated water flow reduction of 15 l/h per day in a mature and average loaded aquarium.
Early clogging of the Mechanical Cartridge Screen can be caused by:
Anomalous production of dirt in the aquarium.
Clean the aquarium more frequently
Remove the origins of dirt generation.
The cleaning of the mechanical cartridge is not efficacious.
Clean the cartridge in the correct way
Remove the lid at the bottom
Use the brush that comes with the unit.
(for even better results we suggest rinsing the mechanical cartridge with warm water).
