CHEZURAquarium decisions Canister service combines water, electricity, seals and biofilm. Staging containers and parts prevents rushed mistakes.
Prepare removed tank water, towels and an ordered parts area. Remove vessel sludge, rinse foam and swish biomedia only when coated.
Clean impeller and well without forcing the shaft. Use only manufacturer-compatible seal lubricant.
Seat baskets and gasket without pinching, open taps and purge air by instructions.
Check sound, flow and connections immediately and later; log the date.
| Situation | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Flow is low | Start with prefilter and impeller | Common restrictions |
| Seal cracked | Replace before closure | Prevents leakage |
| Prime will not return | Follow manual and find air | Avoid dry running |
After start with prefilter and impeller, measure or observe Flow is low again with the same method. Record Leak inspection continues after restart. as well; if neither changes as expected, revisit the diagnosis before adding another intervention.
