INSTALLATION AND USE
6. Install the filter
1. Once the filter unit is in its final position, make sure that the aquarium has the appropriate
amount of water.
Important Reminders:
•
The filter lid must be at least 7.8 in. (20 cm) below your aquarium’s water level but
never more
than
4.9 ft. (150 cm).
•
The hosing supplied with the unit is 9.8 ft. (3m) long.
If longer hosing is required, intake
hosing must not exceed 9.8 ft. (3m) and the total length of intake and outlet hosing
combined must not exceed 16.4 ft. (5m).
•
Hosing must follow a straight path from the filter to the aquarium rim, with
some slack,
but no loops.
•
For the self priming feature to work properly the water level
cannot be more than
7.8 in.
(20 cm) below your aquarium rim.
•
NEVER install the filter above the water level.
•
For best performance, the filter should be completely beneath the aquarium.
•
Position purge valve so that you will be able to attach a hose without moving the unit.
•
Important:
Check to be sure that the hosing follows a straight path from the aquarium rim
to the filter. Leave some slack, but no loops.
If the hosing is too long, the filter will not
work efficiently.
•
Assure the lid seal ring is already installed on the filter canister lid.
2.
Grasp the intake valve
(which is at the end of the hosing
attached to the intake tube)
; slide it onto the IN connection
on the filter lid, and press until it clicks into place.
3.
Grasp the output valve
(which is at the end of the hosing
attached to the output nozzle)
; slide it onto the OUT
connection on the filter lid, and press until it clicks into place.
4.
Be certain both valves are locked in place and that the valve
levers are in the open (vertical) position before proceeding.
