the distance between the surface of the water and the top of the filter must be at least 20 cm

Attaching pipes and hoses
Place the intake strainer on the end of the suction pipe and attach it to the inside of the
aquarium using the suction cups and pipe clips. Use long or short clips depending on the
design of the aquarium edge. Pull out the telescopic pipe so that the intake strainer is
about 5 cm above the base of the aquarium. The two parts of the telescopic pipe are sealed
against one another by an O-ring so that no air is drawn into the telescopic pipe, even if the
water level is low (e.g. in a turtle tank).
Connect the water outlet pipe, angle piece and spray bar (if required) and secure them in
the aquarium with suction cups. First, remove the end cap of the spray bar and only replace
it when the filter is operating.
Important note: The plug connections between the parts 8 – 12 and the water outlet pipe
(7) are NOT waterproof. For this reason they are to be positioned INSIDE the aquarium ONLY.
Please ensure that any water leaking from the connections, during operation cannot leave
the aquarium and cause damage to furniture etc.
Tip: We advise against using the spray bar in aquariums containing plants, as too much of
the vital plant nutrient, CO
2
, is expelled from the water. The best results are achieved by
using the water outlet pipe with an angle piece or a wide jet pipe with the outlet just be-
low the surface of the water to produce moderate surface agitation. The distance between
the outlet and the surface of the water can be individually set by using the two extension
pieces.
Connect the hose with the suction pipe from the “IN” position on the hose connection block
(black elbow connection) and the hose with the water outlet pipe from the “OUT” position
(grey elbow connection). Firmly attach the hoses by turning the nuts anticlockwise until
they are tight.
Tip: The installation of a JBL ProFlora Direct inline diffuser into the hose which leads from
“OUT” to the aquarium enables a smart and effective CO
2
supply. Furthermore there will be
no disturbing diffuser inside the aquarium. JBL ProFlora Direct is available as an accessory
at your specialist retailer.
Cut the hoses as short as possible to avoid kinking. This also makes priming easier.
