External Switch Use:
There are 4 color coded external switch input jacks for users who cannot activate the built in
switches. These inputs allow any external capability switch to duplicate the same function as
the built in switch. The input jacks are the standard 1/8 inch size. If you have older switches
with the larger ¼ inch plug you will need an adapter like our no. 1170. When plugging in
switch make sure all connections are tight with no gaps.

If the Bubble Tube needs to be moved or you want to change the water and or clean the air
filter, you will need to drain the water out. We have included a hand siphon pump to make this
job easier. First you will need to remove the two top covers on the Bubble Tube and have a
bucket or container capable of holding at least 2.5 gallons of water to drain the Bubble Tube
into. The bucket or container must be placed below the Bubble Tube for the siphon to work.
Next place the end of the siphon tube which is on the opposite side of the arrow indicator on
the squeezing bulb (shown in photo below); inside the Bubble Tube. Make sure the tube goes
all the way to the bottom of the Bubble Tube. Place the other end of the siphon tube into your
bucket or sink and start the siphoning by squeezing the bulb until the water starts to flow out
of the siphon tube into the bucket. Once this happens you can stop squeezing on the bulb and
let the Bubble Tube drain out.

Troubleshooting:
If the unit is not functioning as it is supposed to:
• Check the AC power cord is plugged in the outlet all the way. Try unplugging the cord and
then re-plug it back in.
• Make sure that the AC wall outlet is working.
• Check all your settings.
• Make sure all the built in switches are moving freely.
• Make sure if external switches are being used that all connections are tight, with no gaps.
• Try the Bubble Tube with another switch to rule out the Bubble Tube as the source of the
problem.
• If you have tried ALL of the above contact our Tech Support Department at ext. 320.
