Assembling the flow‐out unit
How to proceed:
N
Assemble the flow‐out unit.
– The water distributor can be used instead of the
flow‐out pipe.
Use a coin to turn the flow regulator in the hose
adapter to MAX.
Connecting the hose
The procedure is identical for the inlet (IN) and outlet
(OUT).
How to proceed:
O
Fasten the suction unit and flow‐out unit in the
aquarium using suction cups.
P
1. Shorten the hose to the required length.
– Chose the length so that the hose cannot kink in
the intended installation position.
2. Screw the union nut onto the hose connector of the
connection unit.
3. Push the hose onto the hose connector and turn the
union nut counter‐clockwise to fix the hose in place.
4. Push the other end of the hose onto the hose con‐
nector at the suction unit/flow‐out unit and turn the
union nut counter‐clockwise to fix the hose in place.
COMMISSIONING/START‐UP
For initial start‐up or after thorough cleaning, it is nec‐
essary to expel air from the filter system. When the
container, suction unit and hose are free of trapped
air, the pump can convey the water by itself through
the filter system. (→ Expelling air from the filter sys‐
tem)
N O T E
Thoroughly rinse out all filter material with warm tap
water before using for the first time in order to remove
any soiling. (→ Cleaning/replacing the filter media)
Expelling air from the filter system
Prerequisite:
The pump is unplugged. (→ Switching off the unit)
How to proceed:
Q
1. Press the suction button and release it until the wa‐
ter flows out of the tank into the filter.
– The filter is completely flooded when water
emerges from the flow‐out unit.
Switching on the unit
N O T E
Ensure that the pump never runs dry!
The pump will be destroyed.
Regularly check the water level and circulation in
the filter and in the aquarium.
N O T E
Risk of fire due to the hot surface of the heater!
The heater and filter can be destroyed by the gener‐
ated heat.
• Do not plug in the heater until the filter is com‐
pletely filled with water, plug in and the water is
continuously circulated.
• Unplug the heater and allow it to cool down be‐
fore removing it from the water.
How to proceed:
R
1. Route each power connection cable such that it
forms a drip loop.
2. Connect the power connection cable to the power
supply.
– The pump will switch on immediately.
– Trapped air in the filter can cause noise. The
trapped air escapes shortly after the pump starts
up.
3. Unit with heater: Set the water temperature on the
heater and plug in the heater. (→ Heater operating
manual).
Switching off the unit
How to proceed:
Disconnect the unit from the power supply
Unit with heater: Disconnect the unit and heater
from the power supply
Setting the flow rate
How to proceed:
S
Move the lever on the connection unit to set the de‐
sired flow rate
– "LOCK": Maximum flow rate
– "UNLOCK": No flow, the outlet is closed.
