Installing the Flow Return Pipes

Affix the assembled overflow pipe, spray bar and stopper to
14
the wall of the tank using the suction cup clips.
Spray bar
Adjust the length of the spray bar to the width of the tank. Use only one flow
return pipe for tanks that are relatively narrower in width. Remove the stopper
to decrease water pressure in the spray bar.
Stopper
Suction Cup Clip
15
a) Example of use: Long Clip
Note: Extra suction cups and each type of clips are enclosed. Use them in accordance to your tank
and your tank set up.

Assembling Water Hoses

Connect the intake hose to the hose adaptor marked "IN".
16
Connect the hose to the water intake pipe and to prevent leakage
tightly secure the hose with the screws.
Connect the flow return hose to the hose adapter marked "OUT".
Connect the hose to the flow return pipe and tightly secure with
the screws.
OUT = Return

Start-up Procedure

Open the valves of the hose adaptor. Turn the valves parallel
17
to the hose adapter as shown.

Set up
b) Example of use: Short Clip
Note: Cut the hose to the length required.
IN = Intake
Set up
18 19
Plug in the Tetra EX Filter. Once the power is on, water will
20
flow fully along the flow return pipe.
Note: At this point check all components for leakage. After
operating the Tetra EX Filter for 30 to 60 min check that the
filter is operating properly and recheck for leakage.
If water is not satisfactorily flowing through the return pipe,
21
unplug the filter and check the hose connections and ensure
that the hose is not tangled. Gently shaking will help to release
any air trapped inside the filter.
10 Adjusting the Water Flow
The water flow can be adjusted when required, for example
22
when feeding fish.
OUT IN
Turn the tap of the "OUT"-adapter 45 degrees counterclockwise
to decrease the water flow.
Turning the tap 90 degrees counterclockwise will cut the
water flow entirely.

Maintenance

11
Regular Maintenance/Replacement and Cleaning of Filter Media
23 Warning!
Unplug the cord the of Tetra EX Filter before maintenance
and cleaning the Tetra EX Filter.
Please maintain and clean the filter as necessary, in order
to avoid a decrease in water flow as a result of clogging of
the filter.
Push the start button on the motor head
repeatedly and in quick succession with the
palm of your hand until the Tetra EX Filter starts
pumping water. Water will be siphoned through
the water intake hose and directed into the filter
case. It will stop siphoning water once the water
in the flow return pipe reaches the water surface
level of the tank.
