do you have to do a water change if you use the jup-01 ?

Yes Barry, water changes should still be routine. The UV sterilizer does not eliminate the fish waste or uneaten food. It does make the aquarium much easier to maintain and keep looking like a new tank. This is worth every penny if you want beautiful, clear water. Good luck!

This model comes with filter that doesn't need to be replaced. Before you use your model for the first time, you must rinse the filter.

Yes! When the filter reaches its limit, the water flow will diminish almost down to a trickle. If that happens for more than 1 day, it's time to change the filter. Depending upon usage, you may need to change the filter once a month.

yes it is a complete water changer. it has levers to control if it siphons water from the tank or fills water into the tank.Made water changes so much easier for me.

I use it when I do a 10 % weekly water change. And on initial tank start up, waiting a few days before adding fish.

Nope that's just silly. You fill it once and don't have to add water until you go to change it. This tub is AMAZING. Had mine for 3 years and haven't regretted it a bit!

No just take out the old one and screw in the new one. There will be a little water drops but not much. We just put a paper towel under it during the change out and have no issues.

Clean the filter when you do a water change. Keep the water you got from the tank in a bucket. Clean the filter in that water

We change ours yearly (recommended for a household of 4), but really depends on water usage. I have been told, if your water pressure drops drastically, that is another sign that you need to change filters.

you can add water conditioner to the tank immediately after the water change. It shouldn't hurt your fish.

Yes it does. Unit takes some fine tuning once on water. Spend some time with it and it works well.

You can't change the filter on this unit. The filter last about 3 years, at which point you would just buy a whole new one. I have been using this for about a year and highly recommend it. It makes the water taste much better and it comes at a really decent price.

Yes I use polident and tap water. Just rinse and dry with a cloth after each use. Mine still looks brand new!

Not directly. If you have a pressurized system as soon as there is a demand for water the pump should activate. Otherwise no.

No, you put water into the mark you want, then you put the amount of drops you want into the same place as the water, put the top part on and turn on.)

No you don't. At least I don't. I don't have the manual anymore but I've never added any water unless it is to sterilize. I've had it for over 4 months and it is still working fine.

Nope, just pour water into the holding tank and plug it in. Bottled spring water is best and keeps the unit clean and fresh than tap water.
