Thank you very much for choosing this
product! The Hydro Wizard® ensures
the exact simulation of natural
movements in the aquaculture and in
public aquaria. What is special about
the Hydro Wizard® compared to other
products is that a laminar flow – and
not a turbulent flow is produced by the Hydro
Wizard®. A turbulent flow is not good for the fish. As
a result of the exact calculation of all components in
the flow simulation, the Hydro Wizard® is unrivalled
until today within the area of efficiency and the
environmentally friendly scope of services.
Before the first commissioning, please read this
operating manual carefully – for your own safety,
the safety of others and your animals. Store this
manual in a safe place, so that you can access the
information at any time.

2) 2) Safety guidelines
a) General safety guidelines
Before installation and commissioning, please
observe the following instructions:
• The electrical connection is made to a safety
socket outlet with a mains voltage of 100-240
V~ 50/60 Hz; fuse at least 10 A.
• Only use in closed rooms for aquarist
applications!
Only connect the device in aquaria,
garden ponds and in their protection
zones to an electrical outlet with residual
current device (earth leakage circuit
breaker) with a rated current of not more
than 30 mA an (DIN VDE 0100). If you
have any questions concerning this,
please contact an electrically skilled
person. If persons are in the tanks or
ponds, the pump must not be operated.

• The controller unit and the power supply unit
must not come into contact with water.
• In case of visible damage to the cables, the
drive must not be operated. Do not attempt to
repair the cable yourself.
• Do not use the cable for carrying or pulling the
drive. The cable must not be used for mounting
the drive.
• The motor unit must only be operated
underwater. Dry running will destroy the
bearings. In the event of non-compliance,
warranty and liability claims will expire.
• This device is not intended to be used by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a
lack of experience and/or knowledge – unless
these persons are supervised by a person
responsible for their safety or they receive
instructions by this person on how to use the
device.
• The operator is responsible for the compliance
of local safety regulations.
• Within the working area, the user is liable to
third parties for damages caused by the use of
the device.
• The pump is exclusively suitable for pumping
seawater and freshwater. Pumping corrosive,
flammable or explosive liquids is not permitted.
The temperature of the pumped liquid must not
exceed 35 °C.
• The working temperature of the device is
between 5 °C and 35 °C.

• Do not work with a device that is damaged,
incomplete or modified (without the permission
of the manufacturer). Before commissioning,
ensure by an expert that the required electrical
protective measures are available.
• Please read the instructions in the operating
manual concerning the topic “Maintenance and
cleaning”. All measures beyond this, opening
the pump and the switchboards in particular,
are not permitted. Always contact the
manufacturer in the event of repair.

b) Protection against electric shock
• Do not use the cables to remove the plug from
the socket. Protect the cables against heat, oil
and sharp edges. Do not bend the cables.
• Protect the cable and the electrical connections
against humidity. Make sure that the cable and
the electrical connections are in an area that
cannot be flooded.
• When working on the device, remove the mains
plug from the socket.
• The minimum immersion depth depends on the
set pumping capacity.
• The maximum operating depth is limited by the
cable length.
Before commissioning your new
pump, have an expert checked
whether the:
- Grounding, protective multiple
earthing and residual current-
operated protective circuit work
properly following the latest
safety regulations
- Electrical plug connections are
kept dry
After setting up the pump, the mains
plug must be freely accessible at any
time during the operation.

3) Safety guidelines for dealing with
the magnet
• The enclosed magnets are much stronger than
for example pin board magnets.
• Keep the magnets away from objects, which
react sensitively to magnetism (e.g. credit cards
and EC carts, computers). There is the danger
of irreparable damage. Maintain a safe distance
of at least 75 cm.
• The enclosed neodymium magnets may cause
crushing injuries on fingers and other
extremities due to their enormous force. Never
take your hands, ferrous materials or other
magnets between the magnets.
• Keep the magnets away from pacemakers!
• As a result of the high magnetic force,
surrounding objects (e.g. knives) may be
attracted in an uncontrolled manner.
• Never put the holding magnet in direct contact
with the magnets on the “Hydro Wizard®
housing”. The magnets move towards each
other in such a strong way that the collision can
hardly be controlled. Always keep the “Hydro
Wizard® housing” and the magnet support
separately.
