Installing The Vortech - Ecotech Marine VorTech MP60wES Setup Manual

Installing the VorTech

STEP 1: Choose Pump Location
•
Where the pump output is unobstructed
•
High enough above the sand bed so sand is not disturbed
•
Sufficiently below the surface so air is not sucked
into a vortex
STEP 2: Prepare Aquarium
•
Use an aquarium scraper to clean the inside surface of
the aquarium and a damp cloth to clean the outside.
•
Use caution when handling an aquarium scraper.
STEP 3: Attach Hanger and Mounting Tab
•
Peel backing from the hanger and place directly
above the desired mounting location on the outside
of the aquarium (Figure A).
