3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps carefully before operating the filter to ensure proper function and safety.

  1. Open the Case: Hold and press both sides of the machine to open the main case.
  2. Remove Shock-Proof Sponge: Locate and remove the shock-proof sponge from inside the unit. This sponge is for packaging protection only and must be removed before use.
  3. Inspect UV Bulb and Quartz Sleeve: Unscrew the black case at the bottom of the unit. Check that the quartz sleeve and the UV bulb inside are intact and undamaged.
  4. Check Shock-Proof Rubber: Ensure the shock-proof rubber is properly positioned around the UV bulb. Its presence or absence is acceptable as long as the bulb is secure.
  5. Secure Black Case: Screw the black case back onto the unit, ensuring it is tightly sealed.
  6. Submerge Completely: The entire filter unit must be fully submerged in the aquarium water. The filter will not function correctly or safely if it is not completely underwater.
  7. Power On: Install the machine in the aquarium, plug it into a power outlet, and check if the indicator light is on.

4. Operating Instructions

Once properly installed and submerged, the COOSPIDER JUP-01 filter will begin its operation. The unit functions as a submersible pump, drawing water through its filtration system and exposing it to UV light before returning clean water to the tank.

4.1 Water Circulation and Filtration

The filter draws cloudy water from the aquarium, passes it through the internal filter media, and then exposes it to the UV bulb within the quartz sleeve. This process helps to clarify the water and reduce harmful microorganisms. The treated water is then returned to the aquarium, creating a continuous water cycle.

4.2 Air Intake and Water Volume Adjustment

The filter includes an air intake feature to increase oxygen levels in the water. The blue knob on top of the unit allows for adjustment of the air intake and water volume. Rotate the knob to control the flow and aeration as needed for your aquarium.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your COOSPIDER JUP-01 filter.

5.1 Filter Sponge Cleaning/Replacement

  • The filter sponges should be cleaned regularly, typically every few weeks, depending on the bio-load of your aquarium.
  • To clean, unplug the unit, remove it from the water, and disassemble the case. Rinse the sponges thoroughly with old aquarium water (not tap water) to preserve beneficial bacteria.
  • Replace filter sponges when they become too degraded or clogged to clean effectively. The product includes two spare sponges.

5.2 UV Bulb Replacement

  • The UV bulb has a limited lifespan and should be replaced periodically, usually every 6-12 months, to maintain its effectiveness.
  • To replace, unplug the unit, remove it from the water, and carefully unscrew the black case at the bottom. Gently remove the old bulb and insert the new one into the quartz sleeve.
  • Ensure the quartz sleeve is clean and free of debris before reassembly. The product includes one spare UV bulb.

5.3 Quartz Sleeve Cleaning

  • Periodically inspect and clean the quartz sleeve to ensure maximum UV light penetration. Algae or mineral buildup on the sleeve can reduce the UV bulb's effectiveness.
  • Gently wipe the quartz sleeve with a soft cloth. For stubborn deposits, a mild acid solution (like vinegar) can be used, followed by thorough rinsing with clean water.
