Tubing installation
(10) Shut off the integrated double tap connector by shifting the two levers to the OFF position.
(11) Push the enclosed tubing onto the intake and output supports of the integrated double tap
connector as far as they will go. Since this can be a relatively difficult task, soak the hoses
in warm water beforehand to make them softer.
Note: It is very important that you use original EHEIM hoses only.
(12) Place the two-part hose clamp around the installed hoses, hang into the proper position and
(13) clip it into place.
(14) Place the now ready to use filter into the lower cabinet of your aquarium stand and observe
the prescribed installation height: the distance between water surface and base of the filter
should not exceed 180 cm (5'11'') in order to attain optimum functioning.
(15) Attach the intake strainer to the intake tube and fasten it onto the interior glass of the aquar-
(16) ium with two clips and suction cups.
(17) Connect the security outlet pipe to the spray bar with a short piece of tubing and install in
the aquarium with the clips and suction cups. Place on the rear or on one of the sides of the
aquarium, depending on available space. Close the open side of the spray bar with the
enclosed end cap.
Tip: The spray bar can either be installed below water level or just above the surface, depend-
ing upon the amount of oxygen-rich surface movement required.
(18) Guide the hoses from the filter outwards through the opening in the aquarium furniture and
connect the installed intake pipe with the suction side of the filter, and the output pipe with
the pressure side of the filter.
To achieve an even flow, be sure that the tubing is laid out smoothly and has no kinks; if ne-
cessary, shorten them.
Tip: If you lay the tubing into warm water for some time beforehand, they will become soft
and possible kinks can be easily squeezed out.
Setting into operation
(19) Open the taps of the integrated double tap connector by shifting both levers to the ON po-
sition. Separate the output hose from the spray bar and suck strongly on the hose, to estab-
lish the syphon.
(20) Tip: Alternatively use the EHEIM Universal Installation Kit 1 (order no. 4004300, diam. 12 mm)
(21) or the EHEIM suction device (order no. 4003540). The canister will then automatically fill up
with water.
Reconnect the hose to the spray bar.
(22) Tip: The water flow from the pump can be controlled by using the tap only on the pressure
side (OUT).
Attention: Never reduce the pump output by closing the tap on the suction side (IN).
