WARNING: Running the pumps outside of the water will damage
the bearings and impellor shaft causing noisy operation and a
shortened life for these wear parts!

Pump
The ReefWave pumps can be mounted in the horizontal or vertical
orientation.
Each of the 2 impellor cages can be rotated 360 degrees within the
mounting bracket to adjust the direction of the flow appropriately for
your reefscape. Initially set the A and B markings on the cage to be in
line with the ReefWave logo.
In this position the flow will be approximately perpendicular to the
magnet. The impellors and impellor cages on either side of the pump
motor are slightly different and therefore the rubber parts for each side
are color coded Red and Green to ensure that parts are reassembled
correctly after maintenance.
The impellors of the pumps can rotate both in the forward and reverse
direction however the flow in the forward direction is about 3 times
stronger than the flow in the reverse direction.
When mounting the pumps in the horizontal direction make sure that
the cable is on the top side of the pump. Mount the pumps at least
5cm/2" below the water surface to prevent vortex formation (sucking of
air from the water surface.
Mount the pumps in a location where there is easy access for
adjustment of flow direction and removal for periodic maintenance.
