After assembly and installation of
the Tidal™ Filter on a filled aquarium
connect the power cord to the intended
outlet. The filter is self-priming and will
immediately begin filtering water. Adjust
the three possible settings according to
preferences or needs (Figure 6):
1. Raise or lower the telescoping
intake to the desired depth in the
aquarium.
2. Adjust the total amount of
flow through the filter. Adjust
performance to a specific aquarium
volume, type, or provide an
environment for fish which prefer
more or less water movement or
oxygenation. This feature offers up
to 80% reduction of maximum flow
intake while making continuous
full use of the filter motor. When
reduced intake flows are selected,
the refiltration grid allows for
water to re-circulate through the
filter media to maximize filtration
performance through increased
contact time
3. Adjust the amount of flow intake
from the surface vs. the telescoping
intake.

STARTING THE FILTER
The minimum water level in the
aquarium should not fall below the
“Minimum Water Level” mark. A lower
level might stop the flow of water and
cause damage to the pump – do not
allow the pump to run dry. There is
no maximum water level although it is
recommended that the level not exceed
the height of the of the surface skimmer
slots.
