I clean it with a tube cleaning brush once a year after fully disassembling it. If it’s too dirty, I clean it every six months with the tube cleaning brush without disassembling it.
If you’re looking for a transparent nozzle, like the kind used for aquariums, you can find it on Amazon or AliExpress by searching for "aquarium glass outlet nozzle" or "transparent outflow pipe." They often have a good selection!
As a hobbyist for many many years i was super happy with the 2217 canister filter, I bought the "professional 4 " canister and I am SO DISAPPOINTED with it!!!!! way over designed and complicated !!! DID NOT DO THE JOB !!! returned it and bought the 2217 again. stay away from this filter !
Thank you for visiting my channel. The 2217 canister filter is really great. Even though it's been on sale for decades, it still works great and sells well.
Hi…I’m having real trouble getting water flow again after cleaning the filter…I notice the little control knob on the top is set to minimum…what’s this actually for ?…the prime button seems to do nothing when I try to get it going again.

Thank you. This really helped me quite a lot as I was not sure on how to clear the impeller.
Now that I have witnessed the effectiveness of your sound isolation, I request a video showcasing it, please.
Tengo el mío desde hace dos semanas y ya me ha bajado el caudal de salida ,debo limpiar.
Great video, straightforward! really nice job.
Thank you very much.
you are the only one who tells me how to shut it down first, really thanks!
Brilliant
How do you handle tubes? Complete disassemble when cleaning or there is a nicer way?
