  3. Connect the soft water outlet hose to the outlet port on the siphon pump handle.
  4. Attach the pump connect (drainage pipe adapter) to the end of the soft water outlet hose.
  5. Install the flow control valve onto the soft water outlet hose to regulate water flow.
  6. Use the hose fixture clamp to secure the outlet hose to your collection bucket, preventing accidental spills.

4.1 Starting the Siphon

To initiate the water flow:

  1. Ensure the outlet hose is placed in a bucket or drainage container positioned lower than the aquarium water level.
  2. Submerge the water inlet pipe and suction head into the aquarium.
  3. Repeatedly press the manual air push button on the handle until water begins to flow consistently through the outlet hose.

Video: This video demonstrates how to start the siphon action using the air push button.

4.2 Gravel Cleaning

To clean the aquarium gravel:

  1. Once the siphon is active, gently push the suction head into the gravel. The water flow will lift debris and waste while allowing the heavier gravel to fall back down.
  2. Move the suction head slowly across the gravel bed to clean different areas.
  3. If using the duckbill suction head, gently rake through fine sand to dislodge trapped debris.

4.3 Water Changing

To perform a water change:

  1. Follow the steps to start the siphon (Section 4.1).
  2. Allow water to drain into your collection bucket until the desired amount of water has been removed from the aquarium.
  3. Once the water change is complete, remove the siphon from the aquarium.

4.4 Өзгөчө ойлор

  • Preventing Gravel Suction: Normally, you only need to put the gravel in the tube and move it around to clean. If your inlet pipe accidentally sucks in too much gravel, adjust the inlet pipe to a vertical position; the gravel will slowly flow out without blocking the pipe.
  • Duckbill Suction Head: This head is designed for fine sand only, not coarse gravel or marble, to prevent clogging.

6. Кыйынчылыктарды

6.1 Siphon Pump Not Drawing Water

If the siphon pump is not drawing water effectively after being used several times, it may be due to a clogged check valve in the hose.

  • Чечим: First, adjust the water flow to the maximum setting using the flow control valve. Then, place the siphon pump into the fish tank and shake it up and down quickly. This action helps to dislodge accumulated dirt from the check valve, allowing water to enter the inlet pipe and restart the siphon.

Video: This video provides a solution for when the aquarium siphon pump is not drawing water.
