Installing The Vortech - Ecotech Marine MP40w ES VorTech 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 Mounting Tab
•
Peel backing from the adhesive and place the tab 2-3" above
the desired mounting location on the outside of the aquarium
(Figure A).

STEP 4: Correctly Set Pin Spacer
™
•
Determine the glass thickness by measuring it (or contact
the aquarium manufacturer).
•
Remove the rubber spacer from the bottom of the
motor housing (Figure B).
•
Align the power cord according to the thickness marked
on the pin spacer. To do this, pull the pin spacer from
the motor housing, align the thickness mark and
carefully slide the pin spacer onto the motor (Figure C).
3/4" (19mm) thick aquariums DO NOT use the pin spacer.
STEP 5: Place Dry Side on Aquarium
•
Place the rubber spacer directly on the wall of the
aquarium at the desired location (Figure D).
•
Position the dry side so the cord points straight up in the
12 o'clock position (Figure E).
•
Tie the cord to the mounting tab using a zip tie (Figure E).
Trim the excess end of the zip tie.
Never place the dry side in the aquarium.
When adjusting the pin spacer, be careful not
to bend the rubber pins when inserting them into
the holes within the motor housing.
