INSTALLATION STEPS IN DETAIL
Step 1 Accessories List
Check the accessories according to the packing list before installation. After sorting each accessory separately, will be simple to assemble. Except that the suction pipe need to be cut due to the height of the tank, other does not require auxiliary tools and easily completed by manual operation.
Step 2: Measure the Pipe Height
Equipped with cutting tools, due to the different heights of fish tanks, it is recommended to measure and cut the water suction pipe inside the tank. After all are installed, hang it on the outside of the fish tank wall, also be used for fish tanks with frames.
Step 3 Install Other Accessories
Both the outlet and inlet pipes are equipped with suction cups to strengthen the fixation on the wall of the fish tank. It is recommended to match a water pump(flow rate of 520GPH~800GPH or above) and hose.
Step 4 Water Filtration Circulation Route
The entire outlet pipe uses the siphon principle to move dirty water to the bottom container for filtration, and some impurities are deposited and discharged separately. The inlet pipe part absorbs clean water of bottom container into the aquarium through a water pump.
Power outage and on,Automatic operation
Scenario 1
After power outage, the water pump stops and the upper inlet pipe stops adding water. (Dual outlet prevents water from flowing back and overflowing).
Scenario 2
The outlet pipe is still running,the water level keeps dropping until the siphon ball is exposed,air enters,the siphon stops,no longer sucks water out
Scenario 3
After power on, pump starts,water flows into the upper water inlet pipe, water level in the tank rises, the water gradually submerges the siphon ball.
Scenario 4
After the water submerges the siphon ball, water automatically starts to flow in the outlet pipe, and the water flow changes from small to normal.
SWITCH VALVE INTRODUCTION
Middle Valve: Water Flow Control
The bottom edge of the tank should be aligned with the table. The middle valve is outlet water flow control valve.According to the flow rate of the water inlet pipe, adjust this valve to avoid the water inlet being greater than the water outlet flow, causing the tank to overflow.
Both Sides Valves: Fish Waste Collector
The collection intercepts most of the impurities.
Settle in the sedimentation box
It is discharged through the discharge valves on both sides
(Before opening the valve, tie the top hose to prevent air from entering and affecting the operation,when discharged,dirty water in the outlet pipe drop sharply)
Product Advantages
Surface skimmer,run by the water flow,effectively absorbs the oil film on the water surface.
The high-quality 304 stainless steel filter net can intercept most fish impurities.
In landscaping tank, the outlet pipe not be close to or buried in sand gravel etc.Maintain a height distance of at least 2in to avoid clogging pipe.
hygger aquarium fish waste collector filter is hung externally on the wall of the fish tank,even for tanks with frames,has a wide range of uses.
Usage Tips
The two separate parts can be installed according to the situation of the fish tank. The inlet and outlet pipes placed on one side or on both sides.
The bottom container is with 4 pipes(5feet),suitable for extra-long fish tanks. The remaining part can also be used for cutting in other locations.
First use,use the equipped hopper to add water into the water outlet pipe,then start the water pump to avoid air in the pipe and inability to operate.
The connections of the pipes can be sealed with Tape Geors(included) or glued (not included) as required.Used inside the connection of thin pipe.
