IMPORTANT:
• 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).
• Hosing must follow a straight path from the filter to the
aquarium rim, with no slack and no loops.
• For best performance, the filter should be completely beneath the aquarium (as in figure shown).
• Position utility valve so that you will be able to attach the supplied hosing without moving the unit.
