Important:
Caution:
• Disconnect the plug of this and any other submersed appliance before placing hands in the water.
• The pump must not be allowed to run dry. Check the water level periodically to ensure water level is
sufficient to immerse pump during operation. Refill water level as necessary.
Water Treatment:
The water should be treated with Exo Terra Aquatize to remove chlorine and heavy metals. If the water is
used as drinking water by the terrarium inhabitants, extra calcium can be added by using Exo Terra Calci-
mize. Adding Exo Terra Biotize will help to keep the water cleaner longer, as well as promoting necessary
beneficial bacteria and reducing odors associated with decaying waste.
Flow Control:
Note: water flow can be increased or decreased by adjusting the flow control tab located on the impeller
cover. To access the impeller cover: remove the intake screen from the pump; move the flow control tab
on the impeller cover either up (decrease) or down (increase) to adjust the water flow; replace the intake
screen on the pump. If you have trouble moving the flow control tab: simply remove the impeller cover
totally; turn the impeller cover so that the flow control tab is in the desired position; replace the impeller
cover with the tab in the desired position; replace the intake screen.
Maintenance:
To avoid injury, always unplug all appliances from the outlet when not in use; before putting on or taking
off parts; and before cleaning. The pump's motor is hermetically sealed, thereby requiring no lubrication or
maintenance.
The impeller cavity, although it is self cleaning, requires regular maintenance to remove dirt, slime and
debris build-up to ensure smooth running and to extend the life of the pump.
To clean the pump:
1. Unplug pump and remove it from the waterfall
2. Disassemble the complete impeller cavity by first removing the intake screen, and then the impeller
cover.
3. Lift out the impeller
4. Thoroughly clean the impeller to remove slime, dirt or debris.
5. Place the impeller back into the impeller cavity. Replace the impeller cover, then replace the intake
screen.
Note: If you are using well water, or if you have hard water, run the pump for a few minutes in a 50/50
solution of water and vinegar to help remove calcium deposit buildup before replacing pump in waterfall
