Operating Instructions

The SakerPlus cleaner offers multiple functions. Select the appropriate setup for your task.

1. Gravel Cleaning and Debris Removal

• Attach the gravel cleaning nozzle and filter bag.
• Submerge the pump unit and nozzle into the gravel.
• Turn on the device. The strong suction will lift gravel, allowing debris to be trapped in the filter bag while clean gravel falls back down.
• Move the nozzle slowly across the aquarium substrate to clean thoroughly.

2. Water Changing

• Attach the water outlet hose to the pump unit and direct the other end into a bucket or drain.
• Submerge the pump unit in the aquarium water.
• Turn on the device. The pump will begin to drain water from the aquarium.
• Use the adjustable flow control valve to manage the water flow rate.
• Monitor the water level to avoid draining too much water.

3. Water Filtration and Showering

• For water filtration, ensure the filter bag is clean and properly installed. The pump will circulate water through the filter bag, removing suspended particles.
• For showering, attach the shower head attachment to the water outlet. This can be used to gently aerate the water or rinse decorations.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your SakerPlus cleaner.

• Clean Filter Bag: After each use, remove and thoroughly rinse the filter bag under clean running water. Replace if heavily soiled or damaged.
• Rinse Components: Disassemble the telescopic tube and nozzles. Rinse all parts with clean water to remove any residue or debris.
• Check for Clogs: Periodically inspect the pump intake and impeller for any blockages from large debris. Clear any obstructions carefully.
• Storage: Store the cleaner in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
