1. Remove Rubber Fill Plug from the top of the tank.
2. Place a large bucket of water next to the rower and position siphon with the rigid hose in the
bucket and the flexible hose into the tank as shown. Note: Make sure small breather valve on
the top of the siphon is closed before filling.
Note: Where water quality is known to be poor, FDF recommends the use of distilled water.
3. Begin filling tank by squeezing siphon. Use Level Gauge Decal on side of tank to measure vol-
ume of water in tank. Important: Do not overfill tank!
4. After filling tank to the desired water level, open the valve on the top of the siphon to allow ex-
cess water to escape.
5. Ensure that tank plug is replaced once filling and water treatment procedures are complete.
Tips on Siphon use
: Putting the fill bucket higher than the tank will allow the siphon to "self-pump"
when adding water to the tank.
Tank filling and Water Treatment:
Water Treatment Procedures:
Add Chlorine tablet.
Add very small amount of blue dye and
check for desired hue. Important! Do
not add blue dye for at least 72 hours
following Chlorine treatment. The blue
dye adds visual appeal as well as cut-
ting down the amount of light reaching
the tank water, thus extending the
amount of time between water treat-
ments.
