6.4 Carbon:
Wash the carbon filter material under running water several times to
remove residual dust. It is recommended to soak it in water for 24-72 hrs.
before usage otherwise during the first 3 days after set-up the carbon
may float and release micro air bubbles from inside its pores.
Lower the washed carbon into the chamber to the right of the skimmer
so that it rests on the grid located approximately 30cm (12”) below the
top surface of the glass. To enable easy replacement of the carbon, place
the drawstring of the carbon bag over the silencer of the skimmer.
6.5 Circulation Pumps:
Familiarize yourself with the multidirectional outlet as
shown in the drawing.
Familiarize yourself with the circulation pump by
disassembling and reassembling all of the component
parts. Ensure that the impeller chamber cover is
correctly positioned and properly secured by the
bayonet ring and that the flow valve is in the fully
open position. Screw the hose barb provided into the
outlet of the pump.
1. Before use, check that the pump and power cable
are not damaged.
2. Thread the outlet bayonet connector onto
the flexible pipe and assemble the flexible
pipe to the pump so that the outlet elbow is
perpendicular to the pump as shown in the
drawing.
3. Insert the Eyeball Seat into the Outlet Holder that
is fixed into the glass. This part is a tight fit so that
it will not float out during any pump maintenance
but can be removed if necessary for cleaning.
4. Insert the Eyeball outlet followed by the seal into
the Outlet Holder.
5. Lower the pump into the pump chamber until the
Outlet Elbow with the Bayonet connector is opposite
the Outlet Holder.
6. Screw the Bayonet to the Holder until firmly in
position. Check that the Eyeball is free to rotate but
held securely in the desired position. Initially adjust
the nozzle to the downward position to prevent
splashing when the pump is first switched on.
7. Feed the cable over the back wall and connect to
the right hand cable of the Pump Switch Box by
tightening the connector nut.
8. With the circulation pump secured in position, hold the pump cable
against the back wall, close to the Switch Box and push the black filter
sponge into the pump chamber so that the slit in the sponge is in line
with the flexible pipe.
