INSTALLATION AND USE
4. Prepare output connections
1. Connect the hosing to the second valve
(Just as for the intake hosing):
a. Loosen the second metal clamp, and slide it onto the
factory-finished end of the hosing (not the cut end).
b. Push the end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all
the way, as far as it will go.
c. Position the metal clamp over the rubber connector,
and tighten.
2. Measure and cut the hosing. Again, you will need a
length of hosing that reaches comfortably from inside
the aquarium to the filter canister.
Reminder: Hosing should follow a straight path from
the filter to the aquarium rim, with no slack and no
loops. If the hose is too long, the filter will not work
efficiently.
a. Place the valve end of the hosing at the approximate
spot where it will be positioned on the filter lid (once
the filter is installed).
b. Stretch out the hosing so it rests over the “output”rim
bracket.
c. At a spot at least 6 in. (15cm) beyond the aquarium
rim, use a utility knife to cut the hosing. Do not
cut it too short. Remember, you can always cut it
shorter during final installation, if necessary.
3. Push the cut end of this “output” hosing into
the rubber connector of the output nozzle.
Push the hosing in by at least 1 in. (2.5cm) without
twisting it.
4. Place the nozzle in the tank about 1 in. (2.5cm)
below the water line.
5. Fasten the hosing to the “output” bracket
using the three rim connector clips.
