USER MANUAL

DESIGNATION AND PROPERTIES. UNI PUMP 1000/1500 can be used to pump water or to actuate canister filters and other aquarium devices (sterilizers, coolers, skimmers, etc.). Thanks to its watertight design, the pump can operate sub- merged in water; alternatively, it can be used as a straightway pump out of the water. The device is suitable for use in fresh water and seawater alike. Its advantages include a smalf size, low power consumption, quiet operation, and easy installation.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE.

Installation of the pump is facilitated by two suction cups holders that serve to attach the device directly to the tank wall (on the inside or outside). The inlet and outlet connections are suitable for hoses with a diameter of 16/22 mm. In order to ensure the tightness of connections, tighten the nuts that secure hoses to the hose connections.
The pump rotor requires regular cleaning in order to remove any dirt that may accumulate in the rotor chamber. For this purpose, after the device has been disconnected from the mains, unscrew the pump cover by rotating it anticlockwise, remove the rotor casing, which in most cases will be removed together with the shock absorber and the rotor shaft, take out the rotor, next clean the rotor and the rotor chamber using a soft brush. Caution! The ceramic rotor shaft is relatively fragile and prone to breaking when bent. For this reason, one should exercise caution when removing the rotor casing and the rotor shaft itself. When cleaning the interior of the UNIPUMP 1000 pump, clean the blue pawl near the rotor chamber very thoroughly.

If the pump is installed outside the aquarium tank as a straightway pump, the seal must undergo regular maintenance consisting in its cleaning and lubrication with petroleum jelly or silicone grease. It is recommended that the seal be replaced with a new one at least every three years.
The set includes a reducer for the installation of filter connecting pipes.

ATTENTION! To prevent flooding, do not use the reducer as part of connections located outside the aquarium tank (out of the water)!
If the device operates inside the aquarium tank, submerged in the water, it is recommended that sponge pre-f liters be installed on the pump inlet in order to protect the pump rotor and the rotor chamber from possible fouling.
If the pump is installed outside the aquarium tank as a straightway pump, it is recommended that the seal under the rotor casing should undergo regular maintenance consisting in its thorough cleaning and lubrication with petroleum jelly.
