Installing The Vortech - Vortech MP10 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).

•
Place the rubber spacer directly on the wall of the
aquarium at the desired location (Figure B).
The included rubber spacer must be used between
the dry side and the aquarium wall for thicknesses
of 1/8" (3mm) and 3/16" (5mm).
The rubber spacer is NOT needed for thicknesses
of 1/4" (6mm) or 3/8" (10mm).
Position the dry side so the cord points straight up
in the 12 o'clock position (Figure C).
Tie the cord to the mounting tab using a zip tie
(Figure C). Trim the excess end of the zip tie.
Never place the dry side in the aquarium.
Failure to use the rubber spacer can damage the
pump, which will NOT be covered under warranty.
