BLUEXTREME:
discover all of its impressive qualities
Filter handle
An easy to use handle for transporting the filter, designed to support it even when full of water
(Fig. A/1).
Valve release lever
An easy to use lever that facilitates the extraction of the valves group from the filter cover
during maintenance operations (Fig. A/2).
PLEASE NOTE: The Valves Group can be extracted from the cover only if the lever is in a
vertical position.
Valve opening lever (safety system)
A lever that permits the opening/closing of the valves and the regulation of flow (Fig. A/4).
Tube fittings with ferrule
Easy to use 360° rotary fittings (Fig. A/7) with a ferrule that permits a secure fitting onto the
flexible tube (Fig. A/3).
Valves group
An element easily extracted from the cover thanks to the release lever, which contains the
valves for the interception of the water flow (Fig. A/10).
PLEASE NOTE: When extracted from the cover, a special system blocks the valve opening
lever, so that it cannot move accidentally and cause bothersome water leakage.
Hooks
4 strong hooks for a tight hold between the cover and the filter tank (Fig. A/5). A special button
permits blocking of the hook, when closed, in order to avoid bothersome accidental opening
(Fig. A/6).
PLEASE NOTE: Red: blocked hook; Green: unblocked hook.
Tank seal
Special seal in EPDM rubber, to guarantee the maximum hold between the cover and tank
(Fig. A/8).
Pre-chamber seal
Special seal in EPDM expanded with closed cells that guarantees water flow from the filter
input to the bottom of the tank, without any preferential passage (Fig. A/9).
Ceramic cylinders basket
Easy to use basket containing ceramic cylinders for biological filtration.
This position optimizes filter efficiency (Fig. B/1).
Water passage tube
An integrated tube that ensures a direct flow of water from the aquarium to the bottom of
the tank (Fig. B/2).
Filtration material basket
Easy to use baskets containing sponges of varied porosity, easily adaptable to other types of
materials (Fig. B/3). The special adjustable handles ensure that their position is always well
adhered to the tank wall, in a way that avoids the preferential passages of water around the
sponges (Fig. B/4). The filtration materials can be replaced with others including perlon wool
BLUFIBRE (mechanical filtration), activated charcoal in grains BLUCARBON and the zeolite
BLUZEOLITE (absorbent filtration) or other materials, being careful not to clog the filter.
Suction tube
Special tube for suctioning the water in the aquarium, length adjustable (Fig. C/6). The tube
includes a grill to avoid the entrance of leaves or fish into the filter (Fig. C/7) and a hole with
a cap for the connection (Fig. C/8). In addition, the ferrule ensures a tight on the flexible tube.
Flexible tube
Special flexible tube in PVC with a diameter of 15/21 mm available pre-cut in 2 pieces.
