OVERVIEW
The Flow Swing is designed to create a dynamic water flow
in any aquarium, helping eliminate “dead spots”.
The motor in the Flow Swing continuously moves the
diffuser from side-to-side, changing the direction of the
filtered water.
The speed at which the diffuser moves from left to right is
about 5 seconds, where-as right-to-left is about 10 seconds.
This variance creates wave-type currents which helps
sweep away excess detritus and waste products.
The inlet on the Flow Swing is adjustable by either using the
included PVC slip adapter or the hose barb fitting-making it
easy to connect to the return water line from the aquarium filter.
The Flow Swing is held in place in the aquarium with a
specially designed tank mount. The mount features hinged
suction cups that can accommodate placement on a flat
surface all the way up to a 90° angled surface.
If the return line is fixed, the Flow Swing can also hang
in the aquarium.
NOTE: The hose barb fittings and tank mount bracket
are included with the two smaller models (660366 &
660367). The largest model (660368) is designed to be
connected directly to 1" rigid PVC pipe.
INSTALLATION
1) Determine where you would like to place the Flow Swing
in the aquarium for the maximum benefit of water
movement. Avoid placing the diffuser where it is
obstructed by rock or other objects.
2) With the Flow Swing unplugged, connect either the
PVC FPT adapter or the hose barb adapter to the
motorized diffuser. Hand tighten only.
3) Connect the filtered water return line
to the Flow Swing.
4) Insert the motorized diffuser into the tank mount
with suction cups.
5) Remove any algae or debris from the tank wall where
you plan to secure the Flow Swing. Attach the Flow
Swing to the tank using the four suction cups.
6) Create a drip loop and connect the power cord to
an electric outlet.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically inspect the Flow Swing for signs of debris
accumulation. Wipe clean with a cloth or soft algae pad.

A) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
B) DANGER – To avoid possible electric shock, special care
should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquarium
equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt
repairs by yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service
facility for service or discard the appliance:
1) If the appliance falls into the water, DON’T reach for it! First
unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components of the
appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-
immersible equipment only)
2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage,
immediately unplug it from the power source. (Immersible
equipment only)
3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should
not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended
to be wet.
4) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord
or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.
5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle
getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of
a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping
onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop," shown in the
figure below, should be arranged by the user for each cord
connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The “drip
loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle,
or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent
water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with
the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON’T
unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies power to the appliance. Then, unplug and examine
for presence of water in the receptacle.
C) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.
D) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such
as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
E) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.
F) Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use
of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
G) Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to
the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
H) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed
before operating it.
I) Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
J) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating
should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the
appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
K) For added safety, the appliance must be plugged
into a receptacle controlled by a GFCI (ground fault
interrupter) circuit breaker. Device must be properly
connected to a grounded three-prong receptacle.
L) This appliance is intended FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
