complete and ready to run with a pump and all plumbing parts. ViaAqua®Poly Reactor™ is
designed to be installed either in-sump or hang on the tank.
IMPORTANT WARNING AND SAFEGUARDS
This product may contain chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer and or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash
your hand after handling this product.
It is your sole responsibilities to verify that the plug and the receptacle
are clean and free of moisture and salt build up at all times. The
receptacle must be free of water, salt, calcium, magnesium and
dust. Failure to do so can cause fire, damage to property, permanent
damage to the product and personal injury not limited to loss of life.
Do not plug into extension cord/power strip.
A drip loop must be used when plugging all electrical aquarium
devices. A drip loop is that part of the cord hanging below the
receptacle.
The national code requires that a GFCI (Ground fault circuit
interrupter) be used in the branch circuit supplying all power to
water pumps and electrical aquarium equipment. If you do not
have a GFCI, have an electrician install one prior to operating
any aquarium component.

proper use and application.
• Use this product for its intended use only.
• Do not operate ViaAqua®Poly Reactor™ without water. Doing so can cause permanent
damage to the pump.
• Prior to maintenance on any electrical aquarium appliance or aquarium, you must
disconnect all electrical aquarium devices.
• Routine maintenance is required to ensure the maximum performance and the longevity of
the ViaAqua®Poly Reactor™. See maintenance guidelines.
• The use of a surge suppressor is strongly recommended.
ViaAqua® Poly Reactor™ is used for a number of different applications: phosphate resins,
