Embarrasingly dumb question about canister filter
Hello - I have an Aquatop 400uv running for about 6 weeks now. It's time to clean it, and I really don't know how to turn off the water hose assembly to disassemble. I hate to guess and get water everywhere! I had an Eheim previously and it was pretty obvious how to do it with that. I think this is the same model as the SunSun 303b. Any advice is appreciated!

Flip the handle next to the hose connectors at the canister. Then, unplug the power. Pull out the bulkhead with the hoses connected, and place in a bucket. Remove canister, clean, put bulkhead back in place, push down firmly and flip handle back down. Then reprime and you are ready to go.
Thanks so much! I did just go for it and disconnected successfully! Thanks for the manual, too. Great help!
WOW, you clogged that thing up in 6 weeks? You may have some bigger issues than keeping track of the manual. You should be able to go for months at a minimum with that beast, if not longer. Also you should look into the proper way to clean it. Cleaning it too thoroughly can actually cause you to re-cycle your tank, causing other problems such as ammonia/nitrite buildups and deaths of your fauna.
Unplug FIRST. Then flip levers. If you flip lever then unplug you could end up with a mess....Flip the handle next to the hose connectors at the canister. Then, unplug the power.
