Also note that the valve on the top when “open” means the bypass is open not the valve is open, as full power is achieved with the valve set to closed (meaning bypass closed) • I have used this machine extensively and have tried to see what can and cannot go wrong so as to help any one who purchases this machine. I have found it is IMPORTANT to put the pre-filter tower and other parts EXACTLY where the directions state (this machine is color coded and VERY easy to put together), however if for example you swap parts around for the pre–filter tower and the main tower, you will never get a proper siphon. This all said, this machine is color coded and very easy to operate, it is just very important to follow the directions as stated. • IMPORTANT; Please remember to rinse out the main unit thoroughly after each use. If the motor does not come on after storage upon next use (or delays in starting), it is most likely the impeller assembly that has been impaired by crystallized salt particles or other foreign material. Simply pour WARM water into the main unit and let it sit a few minutes. Tap the unit on the floor a few times and plug it in. The dissolved salt or foreign material should dislodge and you can setup and prime the unit. I have also found that straight white vinegar placed in the machine (with it open and at an angle so that the vinegar flows into the motor impeller assembly) can help for difficult cases of lodged debris, salt deposits, calcium deposits, etc. Simply flush and precede as described above after leaving the vinegar in for 15-30 minutes. Use of the filter bag that now comes with newer models prevents many of the above problems, although the machines I have used are mostly older and yet with proper care these problems are rare as in reality this is a VERY simple device to operate provided you follow instructions (this is not to say I have not encountered problems even with proper use, however mine and colleagues use of this machine is high with so the likelihood of something going wrong is statistical probability, yet even then we have yet to have to return one machine under warranty)! • PLEASE note that there is some misinformation on a few internet forums with little experience in using this product as to suction, I have used this machine, along with colleagues extensively and this has NEVER been a problem when assembled properly and all valves are in their proper position. At one forum in particular, I responded to the information they provided with what needs to be done, yet my response was removed, so their anecdotal agenda was exposed. Since we sell what we use, we can provide better customer service on this than anyone else, I also have purposely assembled and used this machine in ways other than is best so as to know and best respond to problems as well. For more about this anecdotal forum post, please read this article: "Fish as Pets; Aquarium Forums Hall of Shame #3 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT AQUARIUM CLEANING, Please read this article: "AQUARIUM CLEANING" For Marine fish tanks, this can be the answer to messy foam cups that work and then don't work on Protein Skimmers. By super cleaning the top layer of your aquarium gravel and other areas of your aquarium (in marine aquariums it is best to only clean the top layer of gravel where organic debris accumulates but not the bottom layers so as to not disturb de-nitrifying bacterial), you remove organic debris before it can go thru the nitrogen cycle, thus reducing nitrates like a protein skimmer, EXCEPT SIMPLER! A great compliment to the Berlin Filter Method. This unit works best in reef tanks with a 3-5 cm layer of #00 live sand with 2-3 cm of #3 gravel on top. ONLY VACUUM THE TOP LAYER OF GRAVEL, leaving the sand for anaerobic filtration. (NOT to replace protein skimmers on reef tanks, although a Refugium is another alternative).  AQUARIUM GRAVEL VACUUMS- $8.99 (Python style adapters too) For smaller aquariums, we also have our basic gravel vacuum : For MUCH more about Aquarium Cleaning reasons, methods, and basics; please see this article: "AQUARIUM CLEANING; reasons and methods for water changes" | Via Aqua Multi Skimmer | Sponge Filter | ReSun Power Filter | Clear Stream Pond Filter | clear stream pic | Cleaning Machine | Pre-Filter | Aquarium-vacuum | Hydro-pond-filter | Aquarium -Skimmer | Filstar | Eco-Power | | Via Aqua | U.V.
