Aquarium – Fluval
– Restarting after Cleaning

To avoid
getting that mouthful of water and get things flowing easily I
leave the fluval empty w/valves open, and disconnect the hose at the
top of the
tank at the return. Suck on this hose and you will hear the
canaster filling with water. Reconnect the
hose, let it fill and turn
it on. You
should be all set.
Seems like above would resolve problem of debris coming out of the INTAKE hose back into the tank, such as happened 3/1/2003.
Also suggested putting the output hose into a bucket to catch any debris from the hose. Do until the water comes out clean – then put back into the tank.
