Jayba Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) When the flow is greatly decreased. Every 6 months or so. I use fine floss and foam in mine with no bio media. So they gum up pretty easy. Edited December 23, 2014 by Jayba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syno321 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Mine all have sponges on the intakes which I squeeze out occasionally when I do water changes, the canister itself once a year maybe more.

Overboard Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have the Eheim ultra G160 canister and I use micro cloth (100 microns) on top so I clean the filter once a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Every six months all of my intakes are covered with foam pre-filters they get rinsed out under hot tap water every week during water changes.All canisters are filled with nothing but bio-media.
