- Page 3 ➢ Can I fix the tube holder on a rimmed tank/sump? Yes. You can pull out the ring of the tube holder and install it on another nail to fix it on a rimmed tank/sump.
- Page 4 ➢ How to install the prefilter properly? First, please connect the prefilter base to the prefilter. Then, install the prefilter before the diaphragm pump (Inlet Tube 1, 3, and 5 ) to protect it from clogged and damaged. Note : please clean it every 3 to 6 months for the best filtration performance.
- Page 5 ➢ Where should I place the Lifter Pump Holder? We suggest to place Lifter Pump Holder at the waste water reservoir, where the tube might be drift in the water.
- Page 6 ➢ Where should I place the sensor? Place the sensor to the water level you desired. *Please note : Set the sensor away from water outlet and direct light to avoid bubble interference or malfunctions.
- Page 7 (30cm) below the water level of inlet tank. Outlet must ALWAYS be out of water. If you desired higher anti-siphon pressure height, you can buy AUTOAQUA Anti-Siphon Valve. One anti-siphon valve can stop about 60cm of water of the forward siphon pressure.
- Page 8 ➢ What is AWC Balance Mode? After P3 pumps the new water in the tank, there will be a “AWC Balance Mode” for 3 minutes with faded green AWC mode (Manual/ 4H/ 12H/ 24H/ 48H) indicator. Water level might get down when refill water distributed goes through the whole tank.
- Page 9 ➢ What is the benefit of using Diaphragm Pump? ⚫ Add water smooth & consistent flow to reach the desired water level accurately. ⚫ Lessen the pressure to aquarium ecosystem. ⚫ No wire in the tank for tidy aquarium. ⚫ Able to run dry without damage for safety aquarium.
- Page 10 ➢ How to replace diaphragm pump? ⚫ Step 1 : Press the release button the side and open the top cover. ⚫ Step 2 : Disassemble the PCB screw and the pump wire. Then, remove the PCB and take the diaphragm pump out.
- Page 11 Please lower the water level in the corresponding reservoir, or adjust the outlet tube higher. If neither is an option, you can purchase AUTOAQUA Anti- Siphon Valve(s) and connect it to the outlet tube(s). One anti-siphon valve can stop about 60cm of water of the forward siphon pressure.
- Page 12 ➢ Why is the water level always little higher/lower than the sensor?
- Page 13 ➢ Why does Smart AWC Lite power on for only a short while and give an audible alert? QST is not set correctly. Please reset Smart AWC Lite according to the reset procedure in user manual, p10. Next, mount the blue sensor at the normal water level (with lower sensor indicating the water level) before connecting the power and do not move it afterwards.
- Page 14 ➢ Why the pump stops with beeping alarm and orange light but the water level hasn’t reach the sensor? It is QST function. For ATO, QST will alarm as water refill time is 6 times longer than the first refill time. For AWC, QST will alarm as water change time is 3 times longer than the first water change time.
- Page 15 ➢ Can Smart AWC Lite detect empty reservoir? Yes. With AUTOAQUA Quick Security Technology (QST), it can detect empty reservoir without extra sensor. If there is too little or no water in reservoir, it will trigger QST. The system will shut itself off and stop the pump.
- Page 16 ➢ What can QST do for you? With AUTOAQUA QST function, it can detect below scenario sensorless and without extra setting. ⚫ Empty Reservoir Detection If there is too little or no water in reservoir, it will trigger QST. The system will shut itself off and stop the pump.
