3. Operating Instructions

The Pawfly Aquarium Shrimp Net is designed for gentle and effective use in various aquatic environments.

3.1 Catching and Transferring Aquatic Life:

Slowly submerge the net into the water.

Once the aquatic life is in the net, carefully lift it out of the water and transfer it to the desired location. The soft mesh minimizes stress and injury.

Slowly sweep the net through the water to collect unwanted particles. The fine mesh ensures efficient collection of small debris.
Lift the net out of the water and dispose of the collected debris.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your Pawfly Aquarium Shrimp Net.

Cleaning: After each use, rinse the net thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue or debris.
Drying: Allow the net to air dry completely in a cool, ventilated place.
Storage: Utilize the integrated key ring at the end of the handle to hang the net for convenient and space-saving storage. Retract the handle to its shortest length before hanging.

5. Troubleshooting

The Pawfly Aquarium Shrimp Net is a simple tool with few components, making troubleshooting generally straightforward.

Handle not extending/retracting smoothly: Ensure the handle sections are clean and free of debris. Gently twist and pull/push to operate. Avoid forcing the mechanism.
Net appears damaged: Inspect the mesh for tears or holes. While the net is durable, sharp objects can cause damage. If significantly damaged, replacement may be necessary.
Ineffective debris collection: Ensure the net is fully submerged and swept slowly through the water. Very fine particles might require multiple passes.
