Maintenance; Troubleshooting - TMC REEF-Fill Compact Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

MAINTENANCE

Caution: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken when using
any electrical appliance near water.
Caution: Always isolate the REEF-Fill Compact System from the mains electricity before
installing or carrying out any maintenance.
1. Check regularly to ensure that the IR sensors, anti-siphon valve and pump are clean and free
of any dirt or detritus, salt and/or calcium deposits. Please note: We highly recommend
that this is checked at least once a week. Failure to do so could result in operating problems
and water overflowing from your sump or aquarium.
2. Regularly check to ensure all connections are tightly secured.
3. Test IR sensors by physically moving them in the water to ensure switch is operating
correctly.
OTHER THAN RE-MINERALISERS, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU
ADD ANYTHING (such as KH, Calcium or Magnesium supplements) TO THE RO
CHAMBER IN YOUR AQUARIUM SET UP. Precipitation of elements may damage
the REEF-Fill Compact pump.
