3. Current pump NanoProp 5000
3.1. Included:
NanoProp adjustable current pump, 12 V DC, with computer-optimized propeller.
•
Electronic safety transformer, 100 – 240 V, 1.5 A max., adjustable from 6 – 12 V.
•
3.2. Features
The NanoProp 5000 magnetically coupled current pump is very quiet in operation. It has a fully
encapsulated synchronous motor. All materials are salt-water resistant.
The pump is operated with 12 V safety voltage, the transformer is included. The propeller of the
rotor is designed as a 3 blade model and computer-optimized. This design runs more smooth than
the 2 blade propellers.
The pump is adjustable. 4 different speeds can be adjusted by changing the voltage of the
transformer. The pump is designed for operation under water and pressure-free.

Adjustment at the transformer:
The flow rate can be adjusted at the transformer to the level 6 / 9 / 12 V. When operating with
6 V, we recommend firstly to select 9 or 12 V and then re-set to 6 V.
The pump is open at the front. Therefore, it should never be started uncontrolled, e. g.
via a time switch. Animals could be in the sucking in basket and they could be injured or killed by
the starting propeller.
There is an opening at the rear wall for inserting the current pump. First, insert the rubber O-ring
into the hole of the filter chamber (not from the aquarium side). Now, the pump (hold it slightly
slanting) has to be pushed into the retaining O-ring. No further fixing of the pump is necessary. Set
the transformer to a low voltage for startup.
