Installation
Follow the diagram below to set up the AquaFill
system.
Minimum water level
Optimum water level
Maximum water level
1. Find the point in the sump where the water level will
fluctuate. This is usually the section that contains the
return pump.
2. Decide on the water level you want to maintain in this
section of the sump. Ensure it is high enough that the
pump will not suck air while operating but low enough
that the sump will not overflow if the return pump is
switched off or loses power.
3. Attach the primary float switch to the side or rear of
the sump at the optimum operating water level. Use the
supplied suction cups to hold the cables in place above
the float switches.
4. Attach the secondary float switch at the same level or
up to 10cm higher than the primary float switch. This is
the level that the sump will be filled to if the primary float
switch sticks “on”. Ensure the level of the secondary
float switch is also below the point at which the sump
would overflow if the return pump lost power.
5. Attach the reservoir float switch inside the top-up
reservoir at the point that you do not want the pump
operating below. This will prevent the pump from
operating when the reservoir is empty which could cause
damage to the pump due to overheating. Generally
this level will be around 5-8cm from the bottom of the
reservoir.
6. Place the pump inside the reservoir and attach
the supplied 9mm hose to feed the water from the
reservoir to the sump. Check the hose for kinks which
will significantly reduce or stop flow from the pump.
Attach the other end of the hose to the supplied U-pipe.
Hang the U-pipe from the side of the sump. Ensure the
outlet is above the maximum water level for the sump
to ensure water does not siphon back to the reservoir
when the pump stops.
7. Connect the float switches to the control box ensuring
each is connected to the appropriate socket as marked
on the control box.
8. Connect the pump to the control box using the socket
labelled “pump”. Connect the supplied power supply to
the socket labelled “power in” using the supplied male-
male power cable.
9. Fill the reservoir with water to be used to top the
aquarium up. It is recommended to use RO or RO/DI
water but dechlorinated tap water can also be used.
Never top an aquarium up with salt water as the salts do
not evaporate out and saline top-up water will increase
the salinity of the aquarium.
10. Place a lid on the top-up reservoir to avoid
evaporation.
NOTE: Ensure the correct float switches are used in
the correct location. The primary and secondary float
switches operate as shown below:
High water level: off Low water level: on
The reservoir float switch operates as shown below:
High water level: on Low water level: off
NOTE: The primary and secondary float switches
can be identified by having a BLACK plug while the
reservoir float switch has a WHITE plug.
