FAQs
How do I start the gravel cleaner?
Simply move the gravel cleaner up and down in the water to initiate the water flow. This quick-start action gets the cleaning process going without manual suction.
Can I use this cleaner in any size aquarium?
The cleaner is suitable for aquariums up to 14 inches (35.5 cm) in depth. Always make sure the depth of the aquarium is suitable for the cleaner.
How do I adjust the water flow?
Use the adjustable water flow controller to manage the flow rate. Adjusting the flow allows you to fine-tune the cleaning process for your specific needs.
What if gravel gets into the hose?
The gravel cleaner has a built-in strainer to prevent gravel from blocking the hose. If gravel does get in, carefully remove the hose and clear the obstruction.
How often should I clean my aquarium with this cleaner?
The frequency of cleaning depends on your aquarium's conditions and the number of fish. However, cleaning the gravel every 1-2 weeks is a good starting point.
Troubleshooting
Cleaner is not starting.
Ensure the hose is properly connected and move the cleaner up and down vigorously to initiate the flow. Check for any blockages.
Weak suction.
Adjust the water flow controller to increase the suction power. Check for any gravel blocking the intake or the hose.
Gravel is getting sucked up.
Adjust the cleaning angle and the suction power. Don't press the cleaner too far into the gravel. Ensure the strainer is in place.
