Dear Hobbyist,
we thank You for choosing a KORALIA pump. Please read the following
instructions very carefully for best understanding of the characteristics of this
new, unique and innovative product.
Introduction
KoralIa is a new innovative range of circulation pumps for aquariums. The exclusive Hydor design and
technology guarantee a continuous and powerful water flow which can be directed freely thanks to the
special sphere shaped connection to the exclusive combination suction cup + magnet support. High
performance, low energy consumption, quick and easy maintenance. The combination suction cup +
magnet can safely hold KORALIA applied in tanks with glass (or acrylic) form 12 to 20 mm thick (from 0.5
to 0.8 in).
KoralIa are the new point of reference for quality and reliability thanks to the unique features:
Technical characteristics of the materials used for the components;
•
New auto-lubricating rotor technology without shaft;
•
Amazing low power absorption;
•
Quick and easy maintenance;
•
Exclusive electronic system to guarantee unidirectional start-up with AHS function.
•
What is AHS?
AHS - Anti-Heating System guarantees extra safety. This system automatically detects if the impellor is
blocked (this could happen in particularly hard working conditions) and after 3 start-up attempts cuts
the power supply to the pump preventing the motor from overheating dangerously (thus heating also the
aquarium) or damaging the internal circuits.
NOTE: should the AHS activate, to restart the pump, simply unplug it from the electrical supply, check the
cause of the impellor blocking, carryout maintenance as described in the appropriate paragraph and then
plug it back in.

Due to the high attraction level between the magnets in the support, keep out of reach of children.
•
Avoid attaching the magnets directly to one-another.
•
Make sure you hold the magnets from the sides and avoid placing hands or fingers in between.
•
At a distance up to 5 cm (2 inches) the magnets attract metal objects and other magnets with a high force:
•
to prevent injuries, avoid closeness with blades, sharp objects or other magnets.
The magnet can cause permanent damage to electrical devices or articles that are affected by a magnetic
•
field such as pacemakers, credit cards, or keys: always maintain them at a minimum distance of 30 cm (12
inches).
