Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Attach the desired hose adapter (12mm included) to the pump outlet.
- Secure the pump to the aquarium glass or other desired surface using the provided suction cups. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
- Connect a suitable hose (not included) to the adapter.
- Place the pump submerged in the water.
- Plug the power cable into a GFCI-protected outlet.
Compatibility:
The pump is designed for use in both freshwater and marine aquariums. The included 12mm hose adapter fits standard aquarium tubing of the same size. For different hose sizes, compatible adapters will be required.
Care:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically remove the pump from the aquarium to clean the impeller and housing. This prevents clogging and maintains optimal performance.
- Impeller Maintenance: Gently clean the impeller and its housing with a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Submersion: The pump must be fully submerged during operation to prevent damage to the motor.
