INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
STEP 01 Positioning the Nyos®TORQ® G2 Dock in your sump
• You receive your Nyos®TORQ® G2 Dock as plug-and-play
model. The pump has already been installed.
• Nyos®TORQ® G2 has been designed for in sump use. The
unit cannot be used outside the sump.
• Put Nyos®TORQ® G2 Dock in your sump. Please ensure
that the bottom of the sump is even. This helps ensure
that the water can run off evenly. A constant water level
in the sump is not required.
• The unit must not be in contact with the side panes of
the sump (Fig. 1).
• Only plug in the device when body has been placed on the
dock (see Step 03).
(Fig. 1)

STEP 02 Filling the TORQ® G2 Bodies
General information on filling Nyos®TORQ® G2 Bodies
• The lower insert and the lid can be removed from the tube
with a slight turn (Fig. 2a and 2b).
• Make sure both marks are aligned when connecting tube
and insert (Fig. 3).
• The filter sponge for the lid has a hole in the center
(emergency overflow). If water exits though the hole, the
sponge needs to be cleaned.
• The 0.8mm grid is recommended for small grain filter me-
dia. The 1.5mm grid is recommended for lager grain filter
media like activated carbon. The use of an additional
filter sponge is not necessary.
• Please refer to the filling quantities in the table on page
12.
• Only Body 2.0: The separating grid with the acrylic stick in
the middle has a slightly higher diameter than the lower
grid. It needes to be bent a little bit when inserted and
removed.
(Fig. 3)
(Fig. 2a)
(Fig. 2a)

Filling with one filter media
1. Remove the lid by slightly turning it.
2. The separating grid included with Body 1.0
and 2.0 (part no. 5, page 17) can be removed
when only one filter media is used.
3. Add the filter media from the top. Put the lid
back on and turn it to lock position (Fig. 4).
Filling with two filter media (TORQ® G2 Body 1.0
and Body 2.0 only)
Hint: The media in the upper chamber can be
changed easier. We therefore recommend to
place the media with the shorter run time in the
upper chamber.
1. Turn the body upside down and remove the
grid insert.
2. Keep hold of the acrylic stick, and insert the
first filter media.
(Fig. 4)

3. Put the insert on the acrylic stick and close the tube by
turning the insert.
4. Turn the body again and remove the lid. Add the second
filter media and put the lid back on (Fig. 5).

STEP 03 Insert TORQ® G2 Body and start
operation
• Place the filled body on the dock. The
body can only be placed on the dock if
the two violet markings point to each
other. This is the position for removal and
insertion. In this position, the flow rate
is zero.
• Plug in the pump. By turning the body
counter-clockwise, you can increase the
flow rate. The flow rate can be read from
the scale at the bottom end of the body.
• The filter media (exception: zeolite)
should be hold in suspense at all times. If
the filter media collects at the top spon-
ge, the flow rate is too high. If you cannot
detect any motion in the filter media, the
flow rate is too low.

EN
• The Nyos®TORQ® G2 media reactor was
designed in such a way that it is virtually
bubble-free and silent at optimum use.
This requires a run-in period of several
days. A smear layer is created on the out-
side of the body, so that the water fully
moistens the body.

cleaning) to allow the smear layer on
the outside of the body to regenerate

Too much filter media is used Reduce amount of filter media
(see table on page 12)
Filter media goes into sump Filter media is too fine Use a larger filter media
If necessary add filter floss to the
lid (Fig. 6)
Flow rate is too high Reduce flow rate

FAQ AND TROUBLE SHOOTING

GENERAL INFORMATION
Emergency overflow
The filter sponge of the lid of Nyos®TORQ® G2 has a hole in
the middle (emergency overflow). In case water exits the
hole, clean the sponge.
Using filter floss
For very dirty or abrasive filter media, you can use filter
floss in the free space of the lid (Fig. 8). Generally speaking,
however, this is not necessary.
Reducion in pump performance
At the time of delivery, the pump is set to a maximum per-
formance of 1.000 l/h (264 gph). Should you use very little
filter media in the long term, you can regulate your pump
downwards manually in order to achieve finer nuances in
the setting. To do this, please take the pump out of the
dock and turn the slider on the suction side of the pump.
Usually, however, this will not be necessary.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
• Nyos®TORQ® G2 Bodies can be cleaned easily with tap
water. There is no need to use detergents.
• The grid of the pump should be cleaned regularly in order
to ensure constant performance. To do this, please remove
the pump from the dock. The grid of the pump can be
removed easily.
• When changing filter media, please clean filter sponge
and grid.
