1. Ensure Impeller Cover is fitted right way up when replacing.

2. Lubricate Motor Head (“O” Ring) gasket using an inert lubricant

(i.e. Fluval Silicone Lubricant #A325 or vegetable oil). Do NOT use

petroleum jelly based products.

3. Pipes will gradually block with protein slime and waste.

4. Yearly replacement ensures optimal performance.

5. The Motor Head Gasket (“O” Ring) will deteriorate over time and

must be replaced yearly to avoid the potential for leaks.

6. Impeller will wear out over time. As a preventative step, replace

yearly.
