The Niveaumat is a complete refill unit. It is designed to replace the evaporated water in the aquarium directly
from a storage vessel. In purchasing this unit, you have selected a top quality product. It has been specifically
designed for aquarium use and has been tested by experts.
1. Features
In every aquarium, water evaporates and has to be refilled regularly. Especially in salt water aquaria, it is
important to automize the refilling to avoid oscillations of the salt concentration.
The Niveaumat is a peristaltic pump with a connected level sensor. Liquid is transported by repeatedly kneading
the pump hose. It can be used wherever small amounts of liquid have to be pumped.
The dosing pump is supplied with a long-lasting synchronous motor and the pump hose is made of Santoprene®,
a specially developed material resistant to many chemicals and with a very long life – typically in excess of 3
million compressions.
The synchronous motor operates with a fixed speed and cannot be regulated.
Important note:
- The pump must be operated at the correct voltage (see type label).
2. Delivery

4. Installation
-
The pump may only be operated in the dry, it is not designed for submersed use. It should be securely
mounted using the keyhole slots provided in a dry place.
-
The pump is self-priming and should be mounted above the water level of the liquid storage tank (see Fig.
1).
-
The outlet should always be positioned above the aquarium or sump. If the pump stops with the drive axle
in the horizontal position then the pump will not act as a non-return valve. The air gap between the outlet
hose and water prevents aquarium water being syphoned back into the liquid storage tank (see Fig. 1).
-
The non-return valve (6) must be placed in the inlet fitting (5) of the pump. This prevents the pressure tube
emptying and ensures that the same volume is dosed during each operating cycle (see Fig. 1).
