* The socket for connecting the pH electrode (electrode plug) is
not moisture proof. Exposing this socket to moisture may
cause incorrect pH measuring values. This may lead to uncon-
trolled CO
release into the aquarium.

Troubleshooting
Reduce CO
supply
Fasten tightening nut firmly by
hand. Do not use a wrench!
Loosen threaded screw
immediately. Open outlet valve
(adjustment wheel) to release the
built-up pressure. Close outlet valve
and tighten threaded screw very
slowly, so that operational pressure
is 1 bar (14.5 psi.)
Replace
Provide better air circulation
Carry out a partial water change of
10 – 20%. Adjust to a higher pH
value after
Clean filter
with gravel cleaning

Disposal of the unit:
Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
must not get into domestic waste!
If ever the unit cannot be used anymore, the consumer
is legally obliged to hand in waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment (WEEE) separately from domestic
waste, e.g. at a collection point of his community/his
district. This ensures that waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment (WEEE) is expertly processed and
that negative effects to the environment are avoided.
Therefore electrical and electronic
equipment bears the following symbol:
