Installation eflux DC NOTE: Please ensure to follow your aquarium tank and sump/filter manufacturer instructions regarding the minimum size requirement of your sump and if a check valve is required. Installing Pump Submersible (internal) Installation Step. Thread pump filter screen to inlet of the pump. Step. Place 0-ring inside the outlet barb fitting and quick coupling. Thread barb fitting to pump and hand tighten. Step. Connect return hose (not included) by sliding over barb fitting. Ensure hose is secured using a hose clamp (not included). Step 4. Fill sump with water and check for water/air leaks. Inline (external) Installation Step. Place o-ring inside the inlet barb fitting and quick coupling. Thread barb fitting to pump inlet and hand tighten. Step. Place o-ring inside the outlet barb fitting and quick coupling. Thread barb fitting to pump outlet and hand tighten. Step. Connect inlet hose (not included) by sliding over inlet barb fitting. Ensure hose is secured by using a hose clamp (not included.) Connect return hose to outlet barb fitting and secure with clamp. Step 4. Fill sump with water and check for water/air leaks. Installing Step. Choose a location underneath your aquarium cabinet free of excessive moisture and/or saltwater. If connecting to another manifold HUB, ensure distance between HUBs is -4. Step. Using included wood mounting screws, mount the eflux flow pump HUB mounting bracket to stand. Slide flow pump manifold HUB into bracket. Wood Screws Manifold HUB Mounting Bracket Store Cap Remove Cap Store Cap Note: Remove and store the silicone caps on the manifold HUB mounting bracket. Keep caps in place when not using other ports for protection. Page
Installation Pump Power DC Input Pump Connection Pump Dial Flow Control Step. Plug power supply into DC input on manifold HUB. Installation Instructions Important: Before connecting all of the components together, please review the following specifications in regards to the and appropriate connections.

DC Output per Channel: 80w@ P Indicator LEDs: D C A (Blue)= Indicates 050 gph pump is connected B B (Blue)= Indicates 900 gph pump is connected Port# A C (Blue)= Indicates 70 gph pump is connected Port# D (Blue)= Feed - flashes when pump is in feed mode Port#4 Port# E (Red)= Active feedback/pump status: MicroUSB Ports (all for communication) Red Solid - indicates pump is operating normal Red Flashing - indicates non-normal operation Connecting Pump to (pump running dry, over voltage over/under voltage, over temperature) Step. Plug DC pump cable into pump connection on manifold HUB. Step. Red LED status light should turn solid red. Adjust flow from 0-00% using dial until flow rate is acheived. NOTE: eflux DC pumps have a slow ramp to speed, allow pump to run for 0-5 seconds for pump to reach adjusted flow. AC Power Transformer Connect to DC Input Connect to Pump Input P P P To other LOOP S Note: FEED mode will only operate when DC pump is plugged into a manifold HUB with an Orbit IC controller, eflux wave pump controller or the HUB is controlled via Bluetooth. When in FEED mode, DC flow pump will ramp down to 0% flow for 0 minutes, then ramp to normal speed. Pump Maintenance **Important - Due to harsh conditions found around marine aquariums, it is important to perform the following pump maintenance every 6 months. When performing any maintenance or service, ensure pump is disconnected from power and manifold HUB.. Remove pump from service by disconnecting power and removing pump from sump via disconnect fittings.. Carefully remove front pump cover, o-rings and slide impeller from pump. Use a small soft brush and running freshwater to clean any organic debris. If any calcium deposits have developed, soak the components in mild vinegar/freshwater solution. DO NOT use strong acids..
