Precaution

• Ensure that the water pump is only operated under water so that the impeller does not run dry.
• Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from electricity supply before placing hands in water or performing aquarium maintenance.
• Drip Loops should always be used to help prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming into contact with an electrical outlet.
• The in-line cord switch is not waterproof. If it falls into the water, unplug it immediately and then let it fully dry.
• The pump must be positioned below the motor start-up water line before starting it.

3 in 1 Cleaner

Gravel Cleaner

For quick on-the-spot cleaning

• Connect suction nozzle to the unit. Depending on aquarium depth, you can choose to attach the extension nozzle to the suction nozzle for deeper aquariums.
• Connect the sponge filter element to the unit and secure it with the nut provided as fig. 1 shows
  
• Insert the unit in aquarium and turn it on. Move the cleaner gently back and forth along the bottom of the aquarium. You can use the telescopic pipe to adjust to any height.
• Work gravel cleaner so that a continuous flow of gravel is picked up and returned to the bottom, moving to new areas as water changes from cloudy to clear.

Cloudy Water

It's normal for your water to appear "not so clear" after a gravel vacuum and everything has been stirred. It should clear within 24 hours or less with good filtration. If you have live plants, we suggest that you vacuum very gently over the top of the gravel. If you have large ornaments, please remove them from time to time and again vacuum lightly.

Fish Waste Remover

For complete aquarium maintenance

• Connect duckbill suction nozzle to the unit as fig. 2 shows.
  
• Insert the unit in aquarium and turn it on. The system will suck fish waste into filter element while filtering out the water.

Water Changer

Eliminate waste inside your aquarium

• Remove the sponge filter element and connect water outlet to the unit. Then connect one end of hose to the unit as fig. 3 shows. Ensure the other end of the hose is placed inside a bucket.
  
• Insert the unit in aquarium and turn it on. Siphon action will automatically start.

1. Rubber washers included

Tips

• Use rubber washers (1) to help prevent leaking water by providing a positive seal.
• Cord clamps are used to fixate the power cord on the extension tube.
• The flow rate can be adjusted with the Flow Adjustment Valve.
• If the pump impeller in this cleaner is clogged with debris, please unplug and take out the device, loosen the impeller nut and pull the impeller cover out, then you can clean debris from inside.
• After using in marine water thoroughly rinse out the cleaner with tap water.
• This sponge filter should be cleaned/changed regularly.
• If the suction nozzle is filled with too much gravel, lift the unit off the gravel in case of pump clogging.
