Verify now that your sump has adequate space for the media reactor. Be sure that the
media reactor can sit flat and that it is not touching the sides of the sump, any baffles or
any plumbing. This will ensure the quietest performance from your media reactor.
The pump must be completely submerged underwater when in use.

Recommendations
While we take great care to keep any contaminants away from our products during
assembly, please take a moment to clean with warm water ONLY. Never clean Acrylic with
alcohol-based products. Use caution when handling acrylic scratches easily.
The reactor should be cleaned out every time that the media is replaced ensuring that there
is no media below the bottom plate.
Regular maintenance of the pump will ensure a long life and maximum performance.

counterclockwise to
release.
(Biopellets do not require the two black sponges,
this step could be skipped)
Put the filter sponge into the body chamber, make
sure the sponge is in the bottom of the reactor, and
attached completely to the bottom plate, or the
media may leak past it when filling.
Insert the upper filter sponge and place the lid.
Follow the direction to tighten.
Do not over-tighten.
Install the body chamber onto the base.
Pour your media into the body chamber. For media designed to be fully fluidized, the reactor should be
filled no more than two-thirds full to allow the media room to move around. With heavy or fine media, you
may need to add less. Please check with manufacturer’s instruction for proper amount of media needed for
your specific set up.

Connect the water outlet of the pump to the base bracket.
1. Plug in the pump.
2. Different media needs the different flow rate. Please adjust your flow rate by turning the body chamber.
Some filter media should be held in suspense at all times, but some media
(such as phosphate control products) is not designed to be aggressively
fluidized in a reactor – please read the instructions on your media carefully.
If the filter media collects at the top sponge, the flow rate is too high. If
you cannot detect any motion in the filter media, the flow rate is too low.
