INTRODUCTION
The Fluval Sea Aquarium Pump is designed to be used immersed in a sump tank as well as outside water,
connected with proper tubing to a tank. The pump is designed to treat clean water only; use an adequate pre-filter to avoid large
particles from entering the pump.
WARNING: Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium and sump tank from the electrical supply before
installing, repairing, maintaining or handling the equipment in the water.
IMPORTANT:
To achieve the best pump operation,
always use the largest bore hose possible. Avoid sharp bends in the hosing; gradual curves are preferred.

INSTALLATION
The aquarium pump should always be placed on a firm base using its proper mounting base with rubber feet.
WARNING: Do not plug in the pump before it is correctly and fully installed.
a)
Submersed inside a sump tank:
Choose the correct position for the pump, to avoid bending of the tubes as much as possible.
Screw the threaded fitting onto the pump intake nozzle and connect an appropriate hose. The use of flexible hosing instead of rigid
pipes is recommended to reduce vibration transmissions.
IMPORTANT:
To reach the best pump performances be sure the water level in the sump tank is proper and adequate. This avoids
the pump from sucking in air and creating a water vortex. If needed, a 90° threaded elbow fitting (not included) can be installed on
the pump intake.
NOTE:
The 90° elbow has to be installed facing downwards.
b)
Outside a tank (in-line):
The pump should be primed first before plugging it in. Use appropriate fittings to connect the pump
to the tank by means of a pipe or a hose. The use of a ball valve, fitted to both the inlet and the outlet pipe will be of help when
servicing the pump to disconnect it from the system. When connecting the pump, the use of flexible hosing is suggested to reduce
vibration transmissions.
Pump operation:
Once the pump is fully installed, insert the plug into the electrical receptacle/socket to start.
