6. Install the Filter
1. Once the filter unit is in its final position, make sure that the aquarium has the appropriate
amount of water.
Important Reminders:
• The filter lid must be at least 7.8 in. (20 cm) below your aquarium's water level but never more than
4.9 ft. (150 cm). NEVER install the filter above the water level.
• The hosing supplied with the unit is 13.1 ft. (4m) long. If longer hosing is required, intake hosing
must not exceed 6.5 ft. (2m) and the total length of intake and outlet hosing combined
must not exceed 16.4 ft. (5m).
• IMPORTANT: Hosing must follow a straight path from the filter to the aquarium rim, with no slack
and no loops.
• For the self priming feature to work properly the water level cannot be more than 7.8 in. (20 cm)
below your aquarium rim.
• For best performance, the filter should be completely beneath the aquarium.
• Position purge valve so that you will be able to attach the supplied hosing without moving the unit.
• Assure the lid seal ring is already installed on the filter canister lid.
2. Grasp the intake valve (which is at
the end of the hosing attached to
the intake tube); slide it onto the IN
connection on the filter lid, and press
until it clicks into place.
3. Grasp the output valve (which is at the
end of the hosing attached to the
output nozzle); slide it onto the OUT
connection on the filter lid, and press
until it clicks into place.
4. Be certain both valves are locked in place
and that the valve levers are in the open
(vertical) position before proceeding.
