Installation
1. Findsuitablemountinglocations
TheMeteringReservoirsmustbelocatedabovethehighestwaterlevelinthesump(oraquariumifyoudon’t
useasump)andthereplacementwaterbin,ataheightwheretheselectedpumpswillbeabletosupplyat
least1gallonofwaterperminute.TheMeteringReservoirsrarelyneedtobeaccessedafterinstallation,so
feelfreetotuckthemawaysomewherethatkeepsyourday‐to‐dayaquariumworkspaceclear.
Remember–waterisheavy!TheMeteringReservoirsmustbesecurelymountedonaverticalsurfacethat
cansupportaminimumof20poundsperbin.WhenmountingtheMeteringReservoirsonawall,ensurethat
themountingscrewswillbedrivenintowallstudsorusewallanchorsthatwillsupporttheweightofthebins.
TheControlModulemustbelocatedinaneasilyaccessible,drylocationprotectedfromaccidentalsplashes.
Thecordsandcontrolcablessuppliedareapproximately6feetinlength,andlevelsensorcablesare
approximately8feetinlength.EnsurethattheywillreachfromtheControlModuletotheirrespective
locationsbeforepermanentlymountingthecomponents.

2. MounttheMeteringReservoirs
Ensurenoelectricalwiresorplumbingresidebehindorwithinthemountingarea.Beverycarefulwhen
drillingordrivingscrewsintoablindmountinglocation!
Usingthesuppliedtemplateasaguide,markanddrilltwopilotholesasindicated.Notethatalinedrawn
betweenthecenterpointsofthetwoholesmustbeperfectlyvertical.
Insertwallanchorsifnecessary,followingalldirectionsprovidedwiththeanchors.
Drivethemountingscrewsintotheholesoranchors,leavingabout1/8”inchbetweenthescrewheadandthe
mountingsurface.
SliptheMeteringReservoirsontothescrewsandgentlypulldownabout1/2"untilfullyseated.Thereshould
beno“play”betweentheReservoirsandthemountingsurfacewhenproperlysecured.
oTip:itisoftenconvenienttoinstalltubing,ballvalves,andReservoirCoverspriortomounting
theMeteringReservoirsonthescrews
RepeatthesestepsforthesecondMeteringReservoir



GettingtoknowyourRENEW™AutomaticWaterChangeSystem

1. Afterinstallingyoursystem,pluggingitin,andpreparingyourreplacementwater,turnontheRENEW™systembyusing
thepowerswitchonthefrontfaceoftheControlModule.Whenpoweris“ON,”theswitchwillilluminate.SeveralLED
indicatorsandthedisplaywillilluminatewhenthepowerisonaswell.

2. TherearefouruserinputbuttonsontheControlModule.Startingontheleftandmovingtowardtheright,thebuttons
areMODE,START/PAUSE/CANCEL,andthenINCREASEandDECREASEontheright.Allarelabeledaccordingly.

3. DepressingtheMODEbuttonchangeswhetherthesystemwillperformawaterchangeoverthecourseofaday,aweek,
oronegallonafteranotheruntilcomplete.Forexample,ifyouwantperforma24gallonwaterchangeoverthecourseof
24hours,usetheINCREASEandDECREASEbuttonsuntilthedisplayreads“24”andthenpresstheMODEbuttonuntilthe
indicatornextto“DAY”isilluminated.WhentheSTARTbuttonisdepressedthesystemwillstartasequenceof24one‐
gallonwaterchanges,with1one‐gallonwaterchangeperformedeveryhour(24hrs/daydividedby24gallons).
Changingthemodeto“WEEK”willstretchthe24gallonwaterchangeoverthetimespanofoneweekbyperforminga
one‐gallonwaterchangeevery7hours(168hrs/weekdividedby24gallons).Finally,changingthemodeto
“CONTINUOUS”andpressingtheSTARTbuttonwouldresultinaone‐gallonwaterchangefollowedimmediatelyby
anotherone‐gallonwaterchange,foratotalof24changes.
4. TheSTART/PAUSE/CANCELbuttonistheprimarycontrolbuttonfortheRENEW™system.Momentarilypressingand
releasingthebuttonwillstartasequenceofwaterchanges.Momentarilypressingandreleasingthebuttonduringan
activesequenceofwaterchangespausesthesequenceuntilpressedagain,atwhichtimethesequenceofwaterchanges
willresume.Pressingandholdingthebuttonforbetweenthreeandfivesecondswillpermanentlycancelanactive
sequenceofwaterchanges.Pressingandholdingthebuttonforfivesecondsorlongerwillpermanentlycancelanactive
sequenceofwaterchangesandwillorderthesystemtoemptytheMeteringReservoirs.

TheSTART/PAUSE/CANCELbuttonistheonlybuttonthatisactiveduringasequenceofwaterchanges.Onceawater
changesequencehasbeenstarted,thesystemwillignoreinputfromtheotherthreebuttonsuntilthewaterchangeis
canceledorhascompleted.

5. TheINCREASEandDECREASEbuttonssimplychangethenumberofgallonstobechanged.
6. PressingandholdingtheMODEandSTART/PAUSE/CANCELbuttonssimultaneouslyforfivesecondsaccessesthe
OperationSettingsfortheRENEW™system.Thesesettingsallowtheusertosetthetypeofsystemthattheyhave(Basic,
Advanced,orPro),andaregenerallynotneededafterthesystemisinitiallyinstalledunlessthesystemisupgradedto
includeadditionallevelsensors.OnceinOperationSettings,theINCREASEandDECREASEbuttonsareusedtoselectthe
operationmode.Basic(“b”)modeisthedefaultandwillneedtobechangedifyouhaveanAdvancedorPromodel.
Basicmodedoesnotmonitorlevelsensorinput.Advanced(“A”)modemonitorsthetwostandalonelevelsensorsthat
areplacedinthesump(oraquarium)andreplacementbin.Promodelscanberunintwodifferentoperatingmodes:
standard(“PS”)orabbreviated(“PA”).ProStandardoperatingmodewillmonitorallsixpossiblelevelsensorsandwill
adjustthecycletimesbasedonthereservoirlevelsensors’inputs,andwillincludetheStandbystageaftereachDispense
stage.ProAbbreviatedoperationwillfunctionsimilarly,butwillskiptheStandbystageandimmediatelystartanother
cyclewheninContinuousmode.SkippingtheStandbystageallowsthesystemtoexchangeavolumeofwatermore
quickly,butdoesnotallowthewaterjustreplacedtomixwiththeentireaquariumvolumeasthoroughly.

7. ThepowerswitchcanbeusedatanytimetoquicklyshutoffyourRENEW™systemandisequippedwithathermalcircuit
breakerthatwillautomaticallyshutdownthesystemifitdrawsmorethan10amps.


ExampleofOperation

Let’sassumethatyouwantyourRENEW™systemtoperforma15percentwaterchangeonyour90gallonaquariumwitha10
gallonsump.Let’salsoassumethatyouwantittoperformthechangeinasshortatimeaspossible.

Sinceyourtotalwatervolumeis100gallons,you’llwanttoperforma15gallonwaterchange:
1. UsingtheINCREASEand/orDECREASEbuttons,adjustthevalueintheGALLONSwindowto“15”

SinceyouwantyourRENEW™systemtoperformthewaterchangeasquicklyaspossible:
2. UsingtheMODEbutton,select“CONTINUOUS”mode

Nowallyouhavetodoistellittogo!
3. PresstheSTART/PAUSE/CANCELbutton

It’sthatsimple!!!YourRENEW™systemwillperform15one‐gallonwaterchangesoneaftertheother.IfyouhaveanAdvancedor
Promodel,itwillevenmonitorthewaterlevelsinyoursumpandreplacementwaterbin,andalertyouifeitherstraysoutsideyour

setlevels.Plus,ifyouhavethePromodel,theRENEW™systemwillmonitoritsownoperationandautomaticallyinterruptawater
changeandalertyouifitdeterminesthatsomethingisn’tquiteright–offeringtheultimatepeaceofmind!

FeelfreetoexperimentwiththesettingsonyourRENEW™systemtofindoutwhatbestsuitsyourneeds.Ifyouever“getlost,”and
wanttogetbacktothefactorydefaultsettings,simplyturntheunitoff,presstheINCREASEandDECREASEbuttonssimultaneously,
andwhilestillholdingthemturntheunitbackon.YourRENEW™systemwillresetitselftothefactorydefaults.


InterruptingandCancelingaWaterChangeSequence

IfyoueverneedtopauseyourRENEW™systemwhileitisinanactivewaterchangesequence,simplypressandreleasethe
START/PAUSE/CANCELbutton.Thecurrentstageindicatorwillblinktoindicatethatthesystemispaused.Toresumethesequence,
simplypressandreleasethebuttonagain,andyourRENEW™systemwillcontinueuntilcompleted.

Ifyoueverneedtopermanentlycancelasequence,pressandholdtheSTART/PAUSE/CANCELbuttonfor3seconds.Thestage
indicatorswillblinktoindicatethatyou’vecanceledthesequence.Youcanalsocancelasequenceanddispensethecontentsofthe
MeteringReservoirsbypressingandholdingtheSTART/PAUSE/CANCELbuttonfor5seconds.Thestageindicatorswillblinkafter
holdingthebuttonforthreesecondstoindicatethatthecyclehasbeencanceled,andwillopentheMeteringReservoirvalvesafter
5secondstodrainanywatercontainedwithinthem.


InteractionwiththeGenesisSTORM™SpecializedTopOffandReplenishmentModule

YourRENEW™canbeconnectedtoaGenesisSTORM™SpecializedTopOffandReplenishmentModuletoallowbothunitstobe
installedinanaquariumsystemandworktogetherwithoutmanuallydisablingtheSTORM™.TheSTORM™willnotattempttotop
offthesumporaquariumanytimetheRENEW™unitisactivelyperformingawaterchangecycle.ThispreventstheSTORM™from
attemptingtoreplacethewastesaltwaterremovedbytheRENEW™systemwithfreshwater.Doingsowouldadverselyaffect
salinityinasaltwateraquariumandcouldeventuallyresultinoverflowingthesumpineitherafreshwaterorsaltwateraquarium.
TheRENEW™willindicatethatitdetectstheSTORM™viatheindicatorsinthelowercenterportionoftheControlModule,andwill
illuminatewhenitisdisablingtheSTORM’s™topofffunctionsaswell.
