Biopellets do not require the two black sponges, this step could
be skipped.
Put the first filter sponge into the body chamber. Make sure the
sponge is in the bottom of the reactor, and attached completely to
the bottom plate, or the media may leak past it when filling.
Connect the water outlet of the pump to the base bracket.
Insert the upper filter sponge and place the lid. Follow the direction to tighten.
Caution:
Do not over-tighten!
Pour your media into the body chamber. For media designed to be
fully fluidized, the reactor should be filled no more than two-thirds
full to allow the media room to move around.
With heavy or fine media, you may need to add less. Please check
with manufacturer’s instruction for proper amount of media needed
for your specific set up.
