3. Once the bubbling in the tank stops, you'll know the air is out of the system, and the canister
is full; plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
THE PUMP WILL START IMMEDIATELY.
Water should flow from the output nozzle continuously. If it does not, check your installation
to be sure of the following:
• No kinks or loops in the hosing.
• The base of the canister is not more than 4.5 ft. (1.4m) below the water level.
• The water is not more than 7 in. (17.5cm) below the aquarium rim.
• The intake assembly is securely attached to the aquarium wall..
• No air is bubbling into the water at points where the intake assembly and the output nozzle
connect to the hosing.
• No water is escaping from the hosing at the AquaStop valve connection points.
• The canister cover is securely closed.
• The black and silver levers on the AquaStop valve are both pushed all the way down.
Continue pumping the instant-prime handle until the unit starts to run on its own.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage:
• Never plug the filter in unless the canister is completely full of water.
Adjusting Water Flow
Once the filter is operating continuously, you can use the black lever on the AquaStop valve to
regulate the water flow. To reduce the water flow, lift the lever up to halfway, but no higher. This
can be done once the unit is fully operational, and will not harm the motor. However, never run the
filter with the black lever up (closed) more than half way.
Air in the Filter
Some air will become trapped in the canister as it fills; air may also be released by new media.
Eventually, the filter will expel all air pockets. If you notice excessive bursts of bubbling over an
extended period of time, check all hosing and connections for air leaks. Also, make sure there is no
air source (such as an airstone or aeration device) near the intake strainer.
