- Identify a suitable location within your aquarium where water circulation is desired.
- The pump features a super safe magnet-suction cup support for easy positioning. Place the pump unit inside the aquarium and align the external magnet on the outside of the aquarium glass.
- Ensure the pump is securely attached to the aquarium glass. The maximum recommended glass thickness for adsorption is 15mm.
- Adjust the direction of the pump head to achieve the desired water flow pattern. The pump head can be rotated to direct water flow as needed.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Starting the Pump
After connecting to power, the pump will start operating immediately. Ensure it is fully submerged before powering on.
6.2 Adjusting Flow
The flow size (rate) can be adjusted as needed.
