Instruções de operação

Before operating, ensure the pump is fully submerged in water to prevent damage. The device is equipped with a 320 GPH (gallons per hour) powerful flow water pump.

Segurança Geral da Operação

• Always ensure the pump is completely submerged in water before turning it on. Operating the pump dry can cause damage.
• Keep the power cord and switch away from water splashes.
• Unplug the device before performing any maintenance or when not in use.

1. Water Changing & Adding Water

Attach the outlet pipe and direct it into a suitable container or drain. Submerge the pump unit into the aquarium water. Turn on the power switch. The pump will begin to draw water out of the tank. To add water, ensure the outlet pipe is connected to a water source (e.g., a bucket of treated water) and the pump is submerged in the tank, then turn it on to circulate water into the tank.

2. Sand Washing & Debris Cleaning

Attach the sand vacuum with filter sponge or the duckbill suction inlet. Gently push the attachment into the gravel or sand. The powerful suction will lift debris and waste, which will then be captured by the internal filter sponge. The cleaned water will be returned to the tank or directed out via the outlet pipe, depending on your setup.

3. Tank Scrubbing

Attach the 360° brush head. Submerge the brush head and gently scrub the inner surfaces of your aquarium to remove algae and grime. The pump will simultaneously draw in loosened debris for filtration.

4. Corner Suction

Utilize the corner suction inlet to reach tight spaces and corners of your aquarium, effectively removing hidden debris and waste.

5. Water Filtering & Circulation

When using the filter cup with sponge, the cleaner can operate as an internal filter, circulating water and removing suspended particles. This function can also be used to provide a gentle "shower" for aquatic turtles.
