Water Treatment; Flow Control - Exo Terra Waterfall Instrucciones De Uso

A. For INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY, NOT for commercial use.
For use with FRESHWATER only.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be
plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
C. If the pump shows any sign of abnormal water leakage,
immediately unplug it from the power source.
D. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug,
or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any
manner. The power cord of this appliance is a Z type attachment
and cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance
should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
E. To avoid the possibility of the
appliance plug or electrical socket
getting wet, position the unit to one
side of a wall mounted socket to
prevent water from dripping onto
the socket or plug. A "drip-loop"
should be arranged. The "driploop"
is that part of the cord below the
level of the socket, or the connector
if an extension cord is used, to
prevent water from traveling along
the cord and coming into contact with the socket. If the plug or
socket does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the
fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then
unplug and examine for the presence of water in the socket.
3. It is suggested that this appliance and any other submersed
appliance be equipped with a leakage circuit breaker.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities,
4
or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
5. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never
yank cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull
to disconnect.
6. Disconnect the plug of this and any other submersed appliance
before placing hands in the water.
7. The pump must be immersed in water (maximum water
temperature 35°C / 95°F). The pump must not run dry.
8. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
9. Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use. The
use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may result in a dangerous situation.
10. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to
the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
11. Do not expose the appliance under sunlight or place at low
temperature for a long period of time.
12. Make sure the appliance is securely installed before operating it.
13. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating
should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the
appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Only close adherence to these installation, electrical and
maintenance guidelines will ensure the safe and efficient use of
this appliance.
The Exo Terra Waterfall is powered by the Exo Terra
®
Circulation Pump (included). The pump is for indoor, household use
only and is designed to power a variety of appliances that require a
submersible circulating pump such as reptile fountains, terrarium
waterfalls, circulating water parts, etc. The pump is hermetically
sealed to ensure safety and a long lasting life. Since it does not
employ older technologies requiring oil cooling, it can never leak or
contaminate the area with coolant. This pump is not recommended
or designed to transport corrosive or flammable compounds or
liquids with different properties than water. The motor winding is
hermetically sealed with epoxy. This insulates against the possibility
of electric shock and seals all electrical components from water
infiltration. The motor is extremely compact and energy efficient,
while at the same time producing a continuous output flow.
ExO TERRA WATERFALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
®
CAUTION
• Disconnect the plug of this and any other submersed appliance
before placing hands in the water.
• The pump must not be allowed to run dry. Check the water level
periodically to ensure water level is sufficient to immerse pump
during operation. Refill water level as necessary.
1. Insert the pump into the Waterfall basin. Press down firmly on
the pump to ensure the suction cups on the bottom of pump fully
secure the pump in place. Attach the pump to the Waterfall output
tube located in the interior cavity of the rock.
2. Arrange the Waterfall in its final position in the terrarium. The
Waterfall should be placed on a flat, level surface.
3. Fill the basin with enough water to cover the pump.
4. Plug in the unit. If the unit does not start immediately, verify
that the water level is sufficient to immerse the pump during
operation. If the problem persists, see the "Trouble-shooting" and
"Maintenance" sections of this manual for further information.

WATER TREATmENT

The water should be treated with Exo Terra
chlorine and heavy metals. If the water is used as drinking water by
the terrarium inhabitants, extra calcium can be added by using Exo
Terra Calcium. Adding Exo Terra

cleaner longer, as well as promoting necessary beneficial bacteria
and reducing odors associated with decaying waste.

FLOW CONTROL

Note: water flow can be increased or decreased by adjusting
the flow control tab located on the impeller cover. To access the
impeller cover: remove the intake screen from the pump; move the
flow control tab on the impeller cover either up (decrease) or down
(increase) to adjust the water flow; replace the intake screen on
the pump. If you have trouble moving the flow control tab: simply
remove the impeller cover totally; turn the impeller cover so that the
flow control tab is in the desired position; replace the impeller cover
with the tab in the desired position; replace the intake screen.

• Warning: To avoid injury, always unplug all appliances from the
outlet when not in use. Disconnect the plug of this pump, and any
