5. Set Up
The pump can only be operated under water. The maximum depth is 1 m. The pump should be
mounted at least 10 cm below the water surface to avoid air to be sucked in. The pump is a pure
current pump. No piping or hoses may be attached to it in order to lift water up.
Sucker: To fix the pump at the aquarium glass, the sucker has to be mounted first. The place
where it shall be mounted has to be cleaned – preferably with a blade cleaner. We recommend to
use the Aqua Medic Scraper. Now the sucker is placed and pressed to the glass. The fixing nut (8)
is turned until a vacuum is created and the sucker is fix. The holder with the pump can now be
mounted and secured by the fixing nut (5). The oscillation buffer is attached in 2 versions: for one
and for 2 pumps.
