Tank filling and water treatment procedures. Note: A
large, clean water container or bucket is required for fill-
ing.
1. Remove tank cover plug and rubber fill plug from
the top of the tank.
2. Place a large bucket of water next to the Neptune
Rower and insert siphon, with the rigid hose in the
bucket and the flexible hose into the tank as shown.
Note: Make sure small breather valve on the top of
the siphon is closed before filling.
3. Begin filling tank by squeezing siphon. Use tank
level sticker on side of tank to measure amount of
water in tank. Note: The amount of resistance is
dictated by the amount of water in the tank; for ex-
ample, 9 liters of water equals light resistance, 17
liters of water constitutes heaviest resistance. Im-
portant: Do not overfill tank!
4. After filling tank to the desired water level, open the
valve on the top of the siphon to allow excess water
to escape.
Tips on Siphon use: Placing the fill bucket higher than
the tank will allow the siphon to "self-pump" when adding
water to the tank. When changing tank water, having the
Neptune Rower tank above the level of the emptying
bucket will also facilitate "self-pumping". If the tank and fill/
emptying bucket are on the ground, you be required to
pump the water in or out of the tank manually.
Filling/Water Treatment for the Neptune Rower
Water Treatment Procedures:
1. Add Chlorine tablet.
2. Add very small amount of blue dye
and check for desired color. Important!
Do not add blue dye for at least 72
hours following Chlorine treatment.
The blue dye adds visual appeal and
extends the life of the Chlorine water
treatment.
