INTRODUCTION
WARNING & SAFETY INFORMATION
Thank you for choosing Aquatop’s MaxFlow Series of Circulation Pumps. These pow-
erful highly ecient water circulating units move and draw water in a unique way. The
Prop-Style Impeller and 360˚ uniform water draw create a wider distribution of ow
when compared to traditional powerheads. The design allows for exible placement and
oers a wide range of motion. The MaxFlow Circulation Pumps also includes a secure
suction cup mounting system and runs quietly and eciently.
Please reference this manual for any questions and instructions for use. May Aquatop’s
MaxFlow Circulation Pumps serve you and your aquatic creatures well.
