INTRODUCTION
Fluval MultiStage Filters offer advanced pumping technology and a versatile combination of mechanical, biological
and chemical filtering capabilities. This versatility enables you to customize your aquarium environment to meet the
specialized needs of your unique collection of fish and aquatic plants. Your filter comes with prepacked filter media
that will work well for most basic aquarium setups. However, you have the option of selecting different media, or
alternative configurations of media, if you wish. Because you have so much flexibility in selecting and positioning
media, you are able to control water characteristics with far greater precision than with traditional filters.

media, you are able to control water characteristics with far greater precision than with traditional filters.
In addition, Fluval 06 Series Filters provide more volume than would be possible with round canisters of the same
outer dimensions. Increased volume means a greater mass of filter material and a larger filtration area. Fluval Filters
multiply this advantage by directing water into complex flow paths for greatly increased contact with filtration
media. The result? Maximum efficiency, reduced maintenance requirements, and the reliable flow of pure, properly
conditioned aquarium water.

Fluval Filters are designed and engineered for dependable performance and ease of use. Features like click-on rim
connector assemblies for hosing and one-step lift-lock clamps on the canister make setup and routine maintenance
quick and convenient. Plus, Fluval’s proprietary AquaStop valve lets you disconnect, then reconnect, the hosing
without compromising the system’s vacuum seal. This means you can stop the filter, then restart it instantly—without
priming—for quicker, easier, more convenient maintenance.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Fluval 06 Series filters offer several state of the art features to ensure reliable operation and trouble-free
maintenance. Media is packed into filter baskets at the factory in the recommended positions for basic filtration
in order to save you time and eliminate guesswork. Plus, to make maintenance quicker, the AquaStop valve creates
an air - and watertight seal so you can disconnect hosing without breaking the vacuum that will be necessary to
resume operation. For added convenience, media baskets are self-contained and interchangeable so that media can
be rinsed or replaced in each one, independently of the others.

The intake assembly siphons aquarium water and suspended debris in through its clog-proof strainer. Water flows
down through the foam screen frame, which traps large particulate matter. The filter’s new more powerful and silent
pump then draws the water up from the base of the unit through the media baskets for the customized stages of
mechanical, chemical, biological and fine mechanical filtration that have been designed through media choices and
placement. Filter media removes both waste particles and liquid impurities and can also be actively treated to change
the water’s chemical characteristics. As water flows, it brings oxygen into the system, feeding beneficial bacteria and
breaking down nitrogenous wastes. After passing through all baskets, purified water enters the impeller well to be
pumped back into the output hosing. As the output nozzle disburses the water, it creates currents that help break
down wastes. All for a continuous flow of pure water, custom treated for a healthy, thriving aquarium environment.

FLUVAL FILTER INSTALLATION
Installation Requirements
• The canister base must never be more than 4.5 ft. (1.4m) below the water level.
• Intake tube should not be positioned in close proximity to an air source.
• Hosing must follow a straight path from the filter to the aquarium rim, with some slack, but no loops.
• The canister base must never be more than 4.5 ft. (1.4m) below the water level.
• Intake tube should not be positioned in close proximity to an air source.
• Hosing must follow a straight path from the filter to the aquarium rim, with some slack, but no loops.
1. Unpack and identify all parts. This filter is only for installation with Fluval Aquarium sets with undertank
connections.
connections.
2. Prepare intake/output connections. Please refer to section #1 of the instruction manual included
with the aquarium.
Remove the AquaStop valve (3) from canister cover (5) by first lifting the valve lever all the way up and
then fully lifting the locking lever.
The valve lever closes and opens the AquaStop valves. When the valve lever is fully up, the valves are fully closed
and do not allow water to flow between the filter and aquarium tank. When the valve lever is fully down, the valves
are fully open and allow maximum water flow between filter and aquarium tank.
The locking lever locks the AquaStop valve to the canister cover (5). When the locking lever is fully up, the
AquaStop valve is disengaged from the canister cover (5). Important: to avoid water spill, the locking lever cannot be
operated if the valve lever is not fully up.

Connect the ribbed hoses (2) to the AquaStop valve (3).
Attach the first hose to the IN and the second hose to the OUT connector of the AquaStop valve in the following way:
Attach the first hose to the IN and the second hose to the OUT connector of the AquaStop valve in the following way:
a. Push one end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all the way, as far as it will go.
b. Turn the lock nut counter clockwise until it is as tight as you can make it without forcing.
Connect the ribbed hoses to the Aquarium’s intake/output stems. Please refer to section
#1 of the instruction manual included with the aquarium. Open the cabinet. Connect the
loose end of the ribbed hose (2) that is attached to the IN connector of the AquaStop valve (3)
to the connector stem that is attached to the aquarium intake and then connect the loose end
of the ribbed hose (2) that is attached to the OUT connector of the AquaStop valve (3) to the
connector stem that is attached to the aquarium output, in the following way:
