7. Start the filter
1. Check your installation.
Before turning the filter on, be sure that:
a. The purge valve is in the closed
(vertical) position, and its rubber cap is
secured in place by the lock nut.
b. All top lid fasteners are well tightened.
c. The IN and OUT valves are fully open
(valve levers should be vertical).
d. The intake strainer is fully submersed
in water.
e. There are at least 2 gallons (8 liters) of
water in the canister.
VERY IMPORTANT: You need to know that as
soon as the unit is plugged in, it will start, and
will immediately go through its automatic priming
sequence.
2. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet.
The electronic automatic priming sequence will begin.
This is what will happen:
a. The pump will run for 1 minute to fill the filter canister with aquarium water.
b. The pump will stop for 2 minutes to evacuate air from the filter canister.
c. The pump will start again; it will remain on and will run continuously until it is unplugged.
This sequence will repeat itself every time the unit is unplugged and plugged back in.
Approximately every 12 hours: The pump will stop for 1 minute to evacuate any air that may have
become trapped inside the unit.
