ReefRun Components

Installation & Operation

Before installing the pump, dissassemble and reassemble to familiarize yourself with the component parts.
Select the appropriate place for locating the pump inside your sump taking care to observe the positioning guidelines shown below.

Assemble the 4 rubber feet to the bottom of the pump.

Rotate the pump outlet chamber to provide the best direction for connecting the outlet of the pump to the inlet of the aquarium. Thread the pump cable such that the cable connector is in a convenient place for disconnect/reconnect when doing pump maintenance.

Select and assemble the appropriate hard pipe or flexible tube connectors to the outlet of the pump.
If you are using flexible tubing, make sure that it is securely fastened to the hose barbs with suitable hose clips (not supplied).
Rotate the flow guide so that the water inlets are facing the bottom of the sump.

Note: The ReefRun pumps are supplied with fittings for installing it fully submerged inside a sump. If you are planning on installing the pump outside the sump you will need to purchase additional fittings from your Red Sea dealer.
Read the ReefRun dual controller instructions before operating the pump. The pump has built in safety features to prevent damage to the pump in the cases where the pump is not in the water or the impellor cannot rotate. The ReefRun dual controller automatically shuts the pump down and enables the pump to be restarted from the controller/App once the issue has been resolved. After multiple unsuccessful restarts the pump may need to be disconnected from the controller cable for about 30 seconds before it can be restarted.

Connecting to the ReefRun Dual Controller

Pump Maintenance

For continued smooth running of the ReefRun pumps we recommended cleaning the pump on a regular basis to remove organic and calcium carbonate deposits.
Before undertaking maintenance, switch the pump off from the controller or App and disconnect the pump from the controller cable. Ensure that the Cable Connector does not fall into the sump.
Remove the pump outlet chamber retainer ring by pulling the tab outwards.

Remove the chamber from the body by rotating and pulling it away from the pump body.
Pull the complete impellor assembly completely out of the body. Pay attention to the O-ring that sits between the impellor assembly and the body (Impellor O-ring).
Rinse the impellor assembly and the pump body with water and use a soft brush to remove deposits. If necessary, soak the impellor assembly and the pump in a slightly acidic solution (such as diluted vinegar). Remove all rubber parts such as O-rings and feet before soaking.
When reassembling the pump pay attention to the following:
The impellor O-ring is in place.
The “UP” on the impellor assembly is at the top of the pump.
NOTE: the impellor shaft has a very strong magnet. Hold the impellor firmly when lowering the impellor shaft into the chamber. Care must be taken not to damage the ceramic bearing at the bottom of the impellor chamber.
The lower bearing and the tool to remove it are available as a spare part.
