Initial Fill
Open the main flow valve (rotate anti-clockwise) to maximum.
Add water to the main tank and rear chamber and when the water is
above the level of the circulation pump outlets switch them on.
Continue adding water to the main tank. Open the cabinet door and
monitor the water level in the sump as it begins to fill. As soon
as there is approximately 15 cm (6") of water in the main pump
compartment switch on the main pump and stop adding water.
Allow the system to run for a few minutes and try to adjust the flow
valve so that the water level in the rear chamber is approximately at
the dotted line.
Open the valves to the skimmer (initially approximately 50% open) and
any other equipment that takes water from the sump and readjust the flow
valve.
Add more water to the system until the water level in the main pump
chamber of the sump is approximately 20cm (8").
WARNING: overfilling the sump may cause a flood in the event of an interruption of electricity.
NOTE: It is advisable to do the first fill with fresh water or a weak saltwater solution to check the integrity
of the system and to clear away any chemical residues from production.
Automatic Top-up System
Once the saltwater system is stable and the water height in
the main pump chamber is approximately 20cm (8") adjust
the angle of the float so that the valve is closed at the desired
water height. Ensure that the Top-up flow valve is fully closed.
Fill the Top-up reservoir with RO water. For easy access to the
fill port of the reservoir raise the rear 4xT5 light unit to the
upright position and fully open the fill port flap.
Disconnect the top-up flow valve from the float valve and
slowly open the flow valve until the top-up water drips at a
rate of approximately 1 drop per second. Reconnect the flow
valve to the float valve.
