When used in any aquariums and ponds this device
should be plugged into a GFI socket with no more than
30mA power. If persons are in the aquarium or pond the
pump must be turned off.
Safety
General Safety
Read before using this product!
 The pump should be plugged into a GFI socket with 100-240V ~
50/60Hz; fuse of 10A.
 Use pump in closed rooms for aquarium applications!
 The controller must not be submerged in water.
 If the cables are visibly damaged the pump must not be
used. Do not attempt to repair the cables yourself.
 The pump must not be lifted, carried or attached by the cable.
 The motor must only be used when submerged. Running the
pump dry will damage the bearings. Guarantee and liability are
void if damage is due to the pump running dry.
 This device is not meant to be used by persons (including
children) with limited physical, sensory, or mental capacities or
insufficient experience and/or insufficient knowledge. Unless
they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety and
are instructed how this device is to be used.
 The user is responsible for complying with local safety laws.
 The user is liable for damage to third persons caused by this
product.
 This pump has been designed exclusively to move salt and
freshwater. Usage in corrosive, flammable or explosive liquids is
not permitted. The temperature of the water should not be above
35C (95F).
 The operating temperature of this pump is between 5C and 35 C
(41-95F).
 Do not operate damaged, incomplete, or modified (without
consent of the manufacturer) pumps. Ask an electrician to verify
that all electric safety measures have been followed.
 Please read the section on care and maintenance in this
manual. All other measures, including the opening of the pump,
power supply or controller are not permitted. Always contact the
manufacturer if repairs are required.

Prevention of electric shock:
The plug should be freely accessible after the pump is
operating
Before starting a new pump please have an expert check
that:
 grounding, fuses and interrupters are operational
according to the requirements of local energy provider
 all electric connections are protected from water
 Do not remove the plug by pulling on the cable. Protect
the cable from heat, oil and sharp corners. Do not kink the
cable.
 Protect the cable and all electric sockets from humidity. Ensure
that the cable and electrical connections are safe from flooding
and water spills.
 When servicing the pump always unplug it from the socket.
 The maximum depth is 10m (32,8ft).
Safety hints for handling magnets:
(only for HW variants with magnet mount)
 The magnets included in this box are many times more powerful
that conventional household magnets.
 Do not bring these magnets close to devices that are sensitive
to magnetic fields, as they may permanently damage them (i.e.
credit cards, bank cards, computers...). A safety margin of 75cm
(30”) should be allowed at all times.
 These Nd-magnets, at this time the strongest available magnets,
are strong enough to damage your fingers or other extremities.
Never get your hands between the magnets or the magnets and
other iron surfaces.
 Keep the magnets away from heart pacemakers!
 Other magnetic objects in the vicinity (i.e. knives) can be moved
uncontrollably.
 Never bring the mounting magnets into direct contact with the
magnets at the base of the pump. Their attraction is so powerful
that it is impossible to prevent them coming together. Always
store the hydro wizard pump and the magnet mount separately.

Application
The hydro wizard is used to generate laminar flows in aquariums,
ponds or other bodies of water. The energy efficient movement of
water is a basic function. This eliminates dead zones in the water. With
the controller it is possible to generate wave simulations, in which both
wave height and length can be adjusted. The pump can simulate rivers,
tides, surge and waves. Adding oxygen or CO2 can be controlled
efficiently. The hydro wizard© is designed for use in fresh- and
saltwater.

Function
The movement of the impeller generates an area of low pressure,
which pulls the water from the back through the basket and pushes it
out the front over the fins of the stator.

Start Up
Checklist before Start Up
- Is the pump plugged into a GFI socket?
- Are all cables intact, not kinked?
- Is the stator installed? (The stator also protects hands from
getting injured by the impeller. Never use the pump without the
stator)
- Are there any objects inside the pump that can block the
impeller?
- Are there any people inside the aquarium?
Positioning the pump
- Pay attention to the safety instructions on page 5 and 6.
- Do not use single bars as grip. Always hold the motor with both
hands when carrying.
- Make sure that the pump is unplugged before placing it in the
aquarium.
- Please attach the pump only by the attachment points designed
for this purpose.
Use only the four M5 threaded holes
for mounting.
Please see page 36 for the required
measurements for installation.
