FAQs

How do I start the siphon?

Submerge the vacuum head completely in the aquarium water and move it up and down in the water to start the water flow.

What is the purpose of the gravel guard?

The gravel guard prevents gravel from being sucked up into the vacuum, ensuring only debris is removed.

How long is the hose?

The hose is 1.8 meters (6 feet) long.

Can I use this vacuum for small aquariums?

While the vacuum can be used for smaller tanks, it is best suited for medium sized aquariums.

How do I clean the vacuum?

Rinse the vacuum head and hose with clean water after each use.

What if the hose kinks?

Ensure the hose is not bent or twisted during use and storage. The non-kinking design minimizes this issue.

Is the bucket clip necessary?

The bucket clip is a convenient feature for hanging the hose during and after use, helping to prevent spills.

Troubleshooting

Vacuum is not siphoning water.

Ensure the hose is fully submerged and free of kinks. Prime the vacuum by moving the vacuum head up and down in the water until the water flow starts.

Gravel is being sucked up.

Adjust the angle of the vacuum head to prevent excessive gravel intake. Do not push the vacuum deep into the gravel.

Hose is kinking.

Ensure the hose is not bent or twisted during use and storage. The non-kinking design reduces the chance of this.
