3. Working principle
The fan battery „Arctic Breeze “is attached on the aquarium edge in such a way that a constant air
flow wafts over the water surface. This leads to an increased evaporation. The evaporation cold
arising in this process cools the aquarium down by up to 4° degrees Celsius.
4. Set-Up
The fan battery is put on the aquarium edge and fixed with the Allen screws. It should be fastened
in such a way that the fans blow air over the water surface - best in longitudinal sense. Due to the
adjustable power pack, the fan speed can be adjusted according to the cooling needs. Normally, it
will be sufficient to run the fans at a low level (3 – 4,5 V). Then, they are almost silent. At heat
periods, the speed can be increased to 12 V.
5. Maintenance
The fans are maintenance-free. However, they should be cleaned regularly, in particular of salt
depositions. The fans can be exchanged separately. To do so, an end cap has to be unscrewed.
Then, the protective grilles can be shoved out and the fans are accessible. Only exchange the
faulty fan for an original
Aqua Medic
fan. Only these are resistant to hose-water and suitable for
the installation to aquaria.
