Instruction

  • Use Instructions: Place the filter in your desired location before connecting the flexible tubing.The WHALE filters are pressure filters, therefore, be sure to adhere to the following specifications:a.

The flexible tubing must follow a linear course from the filter to the edge of the aquarium, avoiding the formation of loops.c. The water level must never be lower than 17.5 cm (6.88”) from the edge of the aquarium.d. Never install the filter above the water’s level.e. Do not place the suction tube near aerators in order to avoid a drop in filter efficiency.f. Connect the corresponding flexible tube to the hosetail fitting. When done, push the security locks down to the final position so that the clamps are firmly in place. With the lever in the “OUT” position, push down until the hosetail fitting is in place. Complete the operation by switching the lever to the “IN” position.g. Install the suction caps in the appropriate union housings.h. The curved in-take tube is assembled and must be connected to the flexible hose on the IN hosetail.i.
