Configuração e instalação
Proper installation of the suction cups is vital for the secure operation of your Eheim equipment. Follow these steps carefully:
- Preparação: Ensure both the suction cups and the surface of the aquarium glass where the equipment will be placed are clean and free from algae, dirt, or oily residues. Use a clean cloth and aquarium-safe water for cleaning.
- Attaching to Equipment: Align the attachment point on the suction cup with the corresponding slot or peg on your Eheim Compact pump or Skimmer 350. Press firmly until the suction cup is securely seated.
- Placement in Aquarium: Position the equipment with the attached suction cups against the desired clean glass surface inside the aquarium. Press the equipment firmly against the glass, ensuring each suction cup makes full contact and expels any trapped air. This creates a vacuum, securing the equipment.
- Verificação: Gently tug on the equipment to confirm it is firmly attached and does not slide or detach easily.

Manutenção
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Eheim Suction Cups, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Limpeza regular: Periodically remove the equipment from the aquarium and detach the suction cups. Clean both the suction cups and the contact area on the aquarium glass thoroughly to remove any accumulated algae or biofilm. This helps maintain strong suction.
- Inspeção: Inspect the suction cups for any signs of wear, hardening, cracks, or deformation. Over time, suction cups can lose their elasticity and effectiveness.
- Substituição: Replace suction cups immediately if they show signs of damage or if they no longer provide a secure hold. Worn suction cups can lead to equipment detachment, potentially causing damage or disruption in your aquarium.
Solução de problemas
If your Eheim equipment is not securely staying in place, consider the following:
- Perda de sucção: If suction cups lose their grip, it is most commonly due to dirty surfaces or aged, hardened material. Clean the suction cups and the glass thoroughly. If the problem persists, replace the suction cups.
- Instalação inadequada: Ensure that all air is expelled from under the suction cup when pressing it against the glass. A small amount of trapped air can significantly reduce suction.
- Degradação do material: Suction cups are consumable items. Their material can degrade over time due to continuous immersion in water and exposure to light. Regular replacement is part of routine aquarium maintenance.
