IMPORTNT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following.
1) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
2) 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.
a) 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)
b) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.
(Immersible equipment only)
c) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not
interned to be wet.
d) 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.
e) 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 travelling along the cord and coming in contact with
the receptacle.
If the plug or socket 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.
3) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting an or taking off parts, and before
cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
5) 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.
6) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
7) Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
8) 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 bee taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be
tripped over or pulled.
9) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As safety feature, this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension
cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Exception: This instruction may be omitted for an appliance that is not provided with a polarized attachment plug.
Removing of the plug invalidates the warranty!

Deltec Fluidized Bed Calcium Reactor PF501 - PF1370
The correct calcium level is a vital requirement in keeping and growing corals successfully in marine aquaria.
The calcium level should be kept above 400 and preferably at 470/500 mg/litre.
With the Deltec calcium reactor it is possible to adjust and control the calcium level in a simple manner.
The Deltec calcium reactor consists of
- a cylindrical transparent container
- bubble counter
- solenoid valve (optional)
- non return valve
- provision for pH electrode
- micro filter
Installation and operating instruction
Wash the granulate to be used thoroughly before filling it into the Deltec calcium reactor. The granulate
must be free of all floating matters and other foreign particles.
The Deltec PF Calcium reactors operate on the fluidized bed principle; it is therefore important to use only
Deltec Hy Carb Media to achieve best results.
-Remove the reactor head by turning it anticlockwise.
-Remove the strainer plate and sponge.
-Fit the cap No. 12 over the central feed pipe No. 15 to prevent media to enter the pipe.
-Fill the Vessel up to the fill line.
-Refit the strainer plate with the sponge pointing downwards.
-Clean the O-Ring and all sealing surfaces and grease the O-Ring with silicon spray or silicon grease.
-Refit the reactor head and turn it clockwise
Place the Deltec calcium reactor on an even surface, close to the filter sump or the aquarium.
Please note
The bubble counter should be filled with tap water. To do this, loosen the cap nut of the pressure fitting,
remove the hoses, withdraw the bubble counter and fill it under a tap.
Connecting the reactor
-Connect a flexible CO2 supply hose to the bubble counter (or the solenoid valve if supplied).
-The micro filter should be connected to a water supply either from a separate
pump or else to a bypass of the main aquarium pump.
-Open the tap at the micro filter and allow the Deltec calcium reactor to be filled.
-Start the circulation pump
-To ease bleeding, raise the outlet hose higher than the reactor body for a short period.
Open and set the CO2 supply to app. one bubble per second. Adjust the tap at the micro filter to a drip (app.
2-4 drops/second, coming out at the outlet hose).
Please note
To adjust the DKH (calcium level) either increase the CO2or decrease the water flow. Avoid excessive supply
of CO2. Please ensure that sufficient time is allowed for any adjustments to take effect before testing the
water. The Deltec calcium reactor can also be operated automatically by fitting a pH electrode instead of
the red plug at the top of the Deltec calcium reactor. A suitable pH controller would control the pH value by
opening/closing the solenoid valve. For normal operation the pH level should be between 6,2-6,5.
To get best results, it is important to check the correct water flow and CO2supply on a regular basis and the
resulting DKH level at the outlet.
Important
Never restrict or block the water flow from the outlet hose, since this could lead to on increase of pressure
inside the reactor.
