START UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Thread gauge adapter and air bleed into cap. Gauge adapter is sufficiently
tightened with 1 or 2 threads showing on inside of cap. Over-tightening will
break gauge adapter or interfere with cartridge. No not over-tighten. FINGER
TIGHTEN ONLY!
2. Open air bleeder beneath the pressure gauge.
3. Begin water flow through module.
4. Close air bleeder when a few drops of water are expelled.
5. To pre-determine the pressure at which to change the filter pleats, crimp the
return tube so that no water is allowed to flow back to the aquarium, then
record the pressure indicated (maximum pump output). The pleat change
pressure will be one or two psi less than the maximum reading just obtained.
It is recommended that the change pressure be marked with a piece of tape,
as it may be quite sometime before this pressure is reached.
WHEN TO CLEAN THE FILTER
1. When the gauge reaches the change pressure and/or when the water flow
has decreased considerably.
HOW TO CLEAN THE FILTER
1. Shut off pump.
2. Place clamps over inlet and outlet tubes below the level of the module cap.
3. Remove cap from module.
4. Remove cartridge, retainers from pleats, and pleats from cartridge. Carbon or
other media may be changed at this time.
5. Install new pleats by starting at the bottom of the cartridge and inserting one
pleat into each of the 30 V-shaped sections in the filter cartridge. When the
bottom of the filter pleats are completely seated, simply run your hand up the
filter pleats and the pleats will seat themselves along the entire cartridge.
Make sure the pleat retainers are seated properly.
6. To re-charge cartridge refer to numbers 1.-9.
7. Before replacing module caps, remove the O-ring and thoroughly clean it as
well as the O-ring seat and all threads. Coat the O-ring with Lifegard Silicone
and replace cap on the module and HAND TIGHTEN ONLY.
8. Remove clamp from inlet and outlet tubes, open the bleed valve on the pres-
sure gauge until a few drops of water are expelled, then close valve and start
pumping.
