Maintenance
Warning: To avoid injury, always unplug all appliances from the
outlet when not in use. Disconnect the plug of this pump, and any
other electrical equipment, used for the terrarium, paludarium
or aqua-terrarium before placing your hands in the water and/or

maintenance to remove dirt, slime and debris build-up to ensure
smooth running and to extend the life of the pump.
