Thank you very much for choosing this product! The
Hydro Wizard®ensures the exact simulation of na-
tural movements in the aquaculture and in aquaria.
What is special about the Hydro Wizard®compared
to other products is that a laminar fl ow – and not a
turbulent fl ow – is produced by the Hydro Wizard®.
A turbulent fl ow is not good for the fi sh. As a result
of the exact calculation of all components in the fl ow
simulation, the Hydro Wizard®is unrivalled until today
within the area of effi ciency and the environmentally
friendly scope of services.
Before the fi rst commissioning, please read this ope-
rating manual carefully – for your own safety, the sa-
fety of others and your animals. Store this manual in
a safe place, so that you can access the information
at any time.

a)General safety guidelines
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 elec-
trically skilled person. If persons are in the tanks or ponds,
the pump must not be operated.
Before installation and commissioning, please ob-
serve 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 applica-
tions!
• The controller and the power supply 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 pump 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 per-
sons (including children) with reduced physi-
cal, sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of
experience and/or knowledge – unless these
persons are supervised by a person responsib-
le 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,
fl ammable or explosive liquids is not permitted.
The temperature of the pumped liquid must not
exceed 35 °C (95 °F).
• The working temperature of the device is bet-
ween 5 °C and 35 °C (41 - 95 °F).
• Do not work with a device that is damaged, in-
complete or modifi ed (without the permission
of the manufacturer). Before commissioning,
ensure by an expert that the required electrical
protective measures are available.

b)Protection against electric shock
After setting up the pump, the mains plug must be freely ac-
cessible at any time during the operation.
Before commissioning your new pump, have an expert che-
cked whether the
- grounding, protective multiple earthing and residual
current-operated protective circuit work properly follo-
wing the latest safety regulations
- electrical plug connections are kept dry
• 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 fl ooded.
• 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.

03)Safety hints for handling magnets
• The enclosed magnets are much stronger than
for example pin board magnets.
• Keep the magnets away from objects, which re-
act sensitively to magnetism (e.g. credit cards
and EC carts, computers). There is the danger
of irreparable damage. Maintain a safe distan-
ce of at least 75 cm (30 ”).
• The enclosed neodymium magnets may cause
crushing injuries on fi ngers and other extremi-
ties 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, surroun-
ding 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 cont-
rolled. Always keep the “Hydro Wizard®housing”
and the magnet support separately.
04) Intended use and scope of application
The Hydro Wizard®is used to generate laminar
fl ows in aquaria, ponds and similar waters. Ener-
gy-effi cient circulating of water is a basic function in
this connection. „Dead zones“ can thus be avoided.
With the controller (or the optional USB interface) it
is possible to generate wave simulations, in which
both, wave height and lenght, can be adjusted. The-
reby, wave height and wave length can be adjusted.
This is used to simulate courses of rivers, tides and
breakers. The Hydro Wizard®is designed for use in
freshwater and seawater.

05)General description
Hydro Wizard®
Controller Power supply
a)Functional description
By rotation of the impeller, an area of low pressure
is generated which sucks in the medium from be-
hind through the fi ns of the basket and – past the
fl ow conditioner – ejects it again at the front.

06)Commissioning
a)Checks before commissioning
• Is there a ground fault circuit interrupter connec-
ted upstream of the device?
• Are all cables free from damage? Cables must
neither be bend nor rolled up!
• Is the fl ow conditioner installed? The fl ow con-
ditioner also protects fi ngers from getting inju-
red by the impeller. Never use the pump wi-
thout without fi nger protection!
• Are there any objects in the drive that may
block the impeller?
• Before starting your Hydro Wizard®please
make sure, that there are no people inside the
tank!
• Make sure that the mains plug was disconnec-
ted before installing the drive in the tank!
• Pay attention to the safety instructions on pa-
ges 7 to 10.

b)Installation of the pump
1. Installation step:
• Attach the pump
to the inside of the
pane – please ex-
clusively on the
intended points of
attachment of the
pump.
In order to do so,
use either the enclo-
sed magnet support
or the three threaded holes M5, on which the
magnet mount is mounted. The dimensions can
be found in the dimension drawing on page 43.
2. Installation step:
• In order to fi x the
pump, take the small
magnet and attach it
to outside of the pane
– on the point where
it meets the magnet
support of the inside
of the pane. For atta-
ching the outer mag-
net, we recommend
you to put the mag-
net far away from the
magnet support on the pane (1) and then slide it
carefully towards the magnet support (2).
Important notes:
• Putting the magnet directly on the magnet sup-
port may lead to crushing of the hand and may
possibly damage the tank! Furthermore, the
outer single magnets are not intended for use
in water. Water may penetrate, which leads to
the corrosion (rusting) of the magnets.

• Appropriate mounting material can be
purchased directly from Panta Rhei. Infor-
mation on this can be found on page 44 of
this operating manual. The dimensions can
be found in the dimension drawing on page
43. The Hydro Wizard®itself generates very
high axial forces. In addition, there are the
inertia forces of the moving water masses in
the tank. If you do not use Panta Rhei equip-
ment for mounting, please pay attention that
the support, on which the Hydro Wizard®
is assembled, can safely absorb a force of
approx. 80 N.
• During operation, the pump must be comple-
tely immersed into water. The drive should be
assembled in such a depth below the water
surface that no air is sucked in from the surfa-
ce during operation. Please pay attention that
the height of the water level is changing during
wave simulation.
• The drive can be directly assembled via a solid
ground in the tank. In case of a sandy ground,
a vacuum eff ect may be the result. In order to
avoid that, increase the distance to the ground.
Objects sucked in may emerge from the fl ow
conditioner at high speed and cause damage.
• It must be ensured that the intake basket is not
covered by plants and similar objects.
• The cable must be protected against animals
which are able to damage the cable.
• It is advisable to remove, from the inside, algae
and biofi lms from the aquarium pane on the
point, where the Hydro Wizard®is to attached,
in order to ensure better grip.

3. Installation step:
• Connect the plug of the pump (right) and the
power supply (left) with the controller.
• Now connect the power cable with the power
supply and subsequently with a socket.
Important notes:
• When switching on for the fi rst time, the speed
of the drive should be increased slowly and,
while doing so, observing the fl ow eff ects in the
tank. Is something sucked in or are decorative
items or plants blown away? If this is the case,
choose a diff erent location of the pump or re-
duce the performance
• Choosing the wrong wave length (resonance)
in any aquarium can cause severe damage
and even break the tank. Further information
see page 23
