Operating Instructions
The SOBO WP-1990 pump is designed for continuous operation.
- Starting the Pump: After setup, plug the pump into the power outlet. The pump should start immediately, circulating water.
- Water Circulation: The pump will create water movement, which is essential for distributing heat, nutrients, and oxygen throughout the aquarium.
- Oxygenation: If the air intake tube is connected, the pump will draw air into the water, increasing oxygen levels. Adjust the air flow as needed.
- Filtration (Internal Filter Function): If filter media is installed, the pump will draw water through it, providing mechanical and biological filtration.
- Powering Under-Gravel Filters/Wave Makers: The pump can be connected to under-gravel filter systems or wave makers to enhance their function.
Important: Always ensure the pump is fully submerged in water during operation. Running the pump dry can cause damage and void the warranty.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your pump.
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the pump from the power source before performing any maintenance.
- Disassembly: Carefully remove the pump from the aquarium. Disassemble the pump components, including the impeller cover and impeller.
- Cleaning Impeller: Clean the impeller and its housing thoroughly. Algae, debris, and mineral deposits can accumulate and reduce efficiency. Use a small brush or cotton swab to remove any buildup.
- Cleaning Filter Media: If using the internal filter function, clean or replace the filter media as necessary. Rinse sponges with old aquarium water to preserve beneficial bacteria.
- Housing Cleaning: Clean the pump housing and intake strainer to ensure unrestricted water flow.
- Reassembly: Reassemble the pump components securely.
- Testing: Place the pump back into the aquarium, ensure it is fully submerged, and reconnect the power.
Frequency: Perform cleaning every 2-4 weeks, depending on aquarium conditions and water quality.
