INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Thoroughly check the product after you receive it to ensure
that it is complete and has not been damaged in transit. Any
damage must immediately be reported to the relevant seller.
STEP 01 Positioning the Nyos®TORQ®Dock in your sump
• You receive your Nyos®TORQ®Dock as plug-and-play
model. The pump has already been installed.
• Nyos®TORQ®has been designed for in sump use. The unit
cannot be used outside the sump.
• Put Nyos®TORQ®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® Bodies
General information on filling Nyos®TORQ®bodies
• At the screen insert, there is a lug. The screen insert can
only be inserted into the acrylic pipe if the lug is in the
groove of the acrylic pipe (Fig. 2).
• The filter sponge for the lid should always be used.
• For small-grain filter media (such as Nyos®PHOSI-EX) we
recommend that you leave the black filter sponge on the
screen insert.
• For larger filter media (such as Nyos®ZEO), the filter
sponge on the screen insert can be removed.
• Please refer to the filling quantities in the table on page
12.
(Fig. 2)

Filling with one filter media
1. Remove the lid by slightly pressing it
upwards. The lid is fixated only with an O-ring
by clamping effect.
2. The separating screen included with Body 1.0
and 2.0 (part no. 6) can be removed when one
filter media is used.
3. Add the filter media from the top. Put the lid
back on
Filling with two filter media (Body 1.0 and Body
2.0 only)
1. Turn the body upside down and remove the
screen insert, both filter sponges, and the
separating screen.
2. Add the filter media to the top chamber. We
recommend placing the filter media with the
shorter operating time in the top chamber
because this lets you replace it more easily.

3. For the second filter media, please proceed as follows:
Insert the filter sponge without hole into the tube. Push
the filter sponge a few centimeters into the tube by using
the separating screen. Keep hold of the acrylic stick, and
insert the second filter media.
4. Push the filter sponge with hole onto the acrylic stick.
Put the screen insert on the acrylic stick and close the
body.

STEP 03 Insert 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.
(Fig. 5)

• The Nyos®TORQ®media reactor was desi-
gned in such a way that it is virtually bub-
ble-free and silent at optimum use. This
requires a run-in period of several days.
A smear layer is created on the outside of
the body, so that the water fully moistens
the body.

Setting the flow rate
TIP
Within a few days a perfect smear layer will
appear if you leave the body in the sump for
a few days.

RECOMMENDED MEDIA CAPACITIES AND TANK SIZES

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Bubbles in the outlet and
splattering
Water does not fully moisten
the outside of the body
Wait for a few days (even after
cleaning) to allow the smear layer on
the outside of the body to regenerate
itself
Flow rate is too high Reduce flow rate
Alternatively: Fully insert the body
into the sump for a few days.
TORQ®is uneven Place TORQ®on an even surface
Filter media is not being properly
floated
Flow rate is too low Increase flow rate
Pump is clogged Clean the pump
Use of too much filter media Reduce amount of filter media
(see table on page 12)
Filter media collects at the top filter
sponge and clogs it
Flow rate is too high Reduce flow rate
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
Use of too much filter media Reduce the amount of filter media
(see table on page 12)
Lid or screen insert can only be pla-
ced on acryic tube with difficulty
Clamp effect too strong Rub the silicone rings with Vaseline,
silicone grease or similar

FAQ AND TROUBLE SHOOTING

14
GENERAL INFORMATION
Emergency overflow
The lid of Nyos®TORQ®has an emergency overflow on the
top for when the filter sponge in the lid is clogged.
Using filter floss
For very dirty or abrasive filter media, you can use filter
floss in the free space of the lid (Fig. 6). 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®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.

re soiling
