Tank filling and Water Treatment
1. Filling requires a large bucket (not supplied) and the Fluid
Rower siphon (included). Filling will take approximately 7.6
liters of water.
2. Unscrew the right tank plug on the rear of the fluid tank and
insert the flexible tube into the rear of the tank while keeping
the rigid hose in the bucket. Note: The siphon tube may be
impeded by one of the impeller blades. Use the siphon only to
push the impeller down slightly.
Warning:
Do not insert fingers into tank.
3. Move the adjuster handle to level 16, and begin filling.
Note
:
The siphon valve must be closed to allow siphoning action
to occur. Tip: Placing the bucket in an elevated position will
allow the siphon to continually pump water into the tank.
Do
not fill past the calibration mark indicated on the tank!
Note: Opening the siphon valve will stop the pumping
action. Use this feature to avoid water spillage when
nearing filling completion.
4, Once filling is complete (to the proper calibration level as
indicated on the tank), follow water treatment schedule as
shown.
Caution
: Use a drop cloth under the tank both when
filling the tank and adding blue dye to avoid
staining floor or carpet
Water Treatment Proce-
dures:
1. Add Chlorine tablet.
2. Wait a minimum of 72
hours. Then add very small
amount of blue dye and
check for desired color. Im-
portant! Do not add blue
dye for at least 72 hours
following Chlorine treat-
ment. The blue dye adds
visual appeal as well as cut-
ting down the amount of light
affecting the tank water, thus
extending the amount of time
between water treatments.
Blue dye

Once filling is com-
plete, use a coin or
