Starting the Filter
After assembly and installation of the Tidal™ Filter on a filled aquarium, connect the power cord to
the intended outlet. The filter is self-priming and will immediately begin filtering water.
Adjust the total amount of flow through the filter using the Flow Regulation Dial. Adjust
performance to a specific aquarium volume, type, or provide an environment for fish which prefer
more or less water movement or oxygenation. This feature offers up to 80% reduction of maximum
flow intake while making continuous full use of the filter motor. When reduced intake flows are
selected, the refiltration grid allows for water to re-circulate through the filter media to maximize
filtration performance through increased contact time
The minimum water level in the aquarium should not fall below the "Minimum Water Level" mark. A
lower level might stop the flow of water and cause damage to the pump – do not allow the pump to
run dry. There is no maximum water level although it is recommended that the level not exceed the
height of the of the surface skimmer slots.
Maintenance
WARNING: Before any maintenance on the Tidal™ Filter, unplug it from the outlet.
Tidal™ Filters are made to offer excellent function with low maintenance. However, regular
maintenance can aid dramatically in the overall health and well being of your aquarium. The
maintenance alert device offers an excellent signal to perform routine maintenance on the Tidal™
Filter. The maintenance alert device indicates that flow is unable to move freely through the filter
media basket. When the maintenance alert rises above the filter cover to about ½" or 1 cm (Figure
2), it is time to clean the filter.
