INSTALLATION AND USE
3. Prepare intake connections
Insert the AquaStop valve into the intake and output connectors
1.
on the cover, and push down on the locking lever to lock it in place.
a. Position the filter below the aquarium where it will sit while operating.
b. Attach hosing to the intake connector (IN) on the AquaStop valve;
the input connector will be on your left.
c. Push one end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all the way,
as far as it will go.
d. Turn the lock nut counter clockwise until it is as tight as you can make it
without forcing.
Measure and cut the hosing. You will need a length of hosing that reaches
2.
comfortably from the filter canister to inside the aquarium.
a. Stretch out the hosing up to the top of the aquarium so it rests over the "intake"
rim connector assembly.
b. At a spot about 4 in. (10 cm) beyond the aquarium rim, use a utility knife to cut
the hosing. Do not cut the hosing too short.
IMPORTANT: You will want the hosing to be long enough so that its connection
point with the intake assembly is always about 3 in. (7.5 cm) below the water line.
Remember, you can always cut hosing shorter during final installation, if necessary.
Push the cut end of this "intake" hosing into the rubber connector on the
3.
intake tube. Push the hosing in by at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) without twisting it.
IMPORTANT:
• Hosing must follow a straight path with no kinks or loops and very
little slack.
• If the hosing is too long, the filter will not work properly.
• The factory-finished end of the hosing must connect to the
AquaStop valve.
• To ensure a watertight seal, the cut end of the hosing, which connects
to the intake assembly, must be kept under water.

INSTALLATION AND USE
Clip the suction cup onto the intake assembly near the strainer and
4.
place the assembly in the tank, making sure the strainer is at least
3 in. (7.5 cm) from the bottom. (If the tube is too long for the height of
your aquarium, remove the strainer from the intake assembly, cut the
tube with a hacksaw, and then replace the strainer.) Once the intake
assembly is properly positioned, lock it in place by pressing the suction
cups against the glass.
Position the top half of the rim connector assembly over the hosing
5.
and push down until it "clicks" to lock the hosing in place.
4. Prepare output connections
The remaining length of hosing will be used for output.
1.
Attach the hosing to the output connector (OUT) on the right side of the
AquaStop valve.
a. Push the factory-finished end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all the way,
as far as it will go.
b. Turn the lock nut counter clockwise until it is as tight as you can make it
without forcing.
Measure and cut the hosing. Again, you will need a length of hosing that
2.
reaches comfortably from the filter canister to inside the aquarium.
a. Stretch out the hosing so it rests over the "output" rim connector
assembly.
b. At a spot about 4 in. (10 cm) beyond the aquarium rim, use a utility
knife to cut the hose. Do not cut the hose too short.
Remember, you can always cut it shorter during final installation,
if necessary.
IMPORTANT: Remember, to maintain a watertight seal,
the connection point between the hosing and the output nozzle
should be kept below the water line.
