5. Check the Pump (G) monthly. If the pump runs with the intake or impeller blocked for
extended periods of time due to debris or encrustations, it could cause irreversible damage.
If you stock the pump dry for an extended period, the impeller can become locked by salt.
It is important to clean the impeller before returning it to service. The skimmer is designed
with an external pump connected by a compression ring. This allows for quick and easy
cleaning of the Pump (G).
To perform pump maintenance:
A. Disconnect the Pump (G) from the Reactor Column (C) by unscrewing the
Compression Ring.

B2. division™ 500:
a. Unscrew and take away the TEAL colored Pre-chamber.
b. Remove the impeller and rinse it under fresh water.
C. If salt or limescale deposits are present, it is recommended to clean the affected
parts with water and vinegar (away from the aquarium sump) using a soft brush
to remove the deposits. Do not use detergents or solvents that could damage the
product or be harmful to aquatic organisms.
D. Check the Pre-chamber O-ring; even a small amount of wear or damage can hinder
the performance of the pump. In this case, it is recommended to replace the O-ring.
E. Thoroughly rinse the pump and its parts before returning it to the sump.
F. Assemble everything in the inverse order.
