Pet Turtles: Top of Filtration System

Video Transcript

"Okay, a little bit about the top part of the fluval here that we're looking at. This is an impeller, that's what they call it. This is basically what makes the majority of your fluval here work. Just make sure it spins freely and it seems to be working okay. This is, this little suction cup here is part of the primer system and that's just to get it started and we'll talk about that in just a second. So we're going to take this and we would take our canister section and we would fill it with water. We're going to fill it just a little, almost to the lip, trying not to make a mess but if you fill it to high that's fine. Okay, this goes on top and make sure that this part, the impeller, is going over your circular section right there. So that goes over the top. I can play with it a little bit to get it to sit right; it helps if I have the clamps down right. Alright, then you're going to clamp it down on their nice and tight and then what we do is there's a couple pieces that go on here. I'm not going to take them out of the packaging because I'm not going to actually using this today but we have this little section here. This is your flow control. That just slips right in there, this little lever holds down, locks in to place and then this lever right here will control the flow of your tubes. So you can actually unhook this whole system without having to take your tubes and everything out of the aquarium and it helps a lot and I'm going to show you the rest of it in just a little bit.Okay, a little bit about the top part of the flugel here that we're looking at.
