EcoTech Marine MP10 - Manual (Page 2)

To remove the nozzle from the wet frame, remove the entire wet half of the pump from the aquarium and place
it on a non-metallic surface. Gently but firmly press down on the nozzle with your palm and TWIST CLOCKWISE.
The nozzle should become free of the wet frame. It may then be cleaned of any obstructions. Be careful to
minimize force when twisting the wet frame.

Before you start
Preparation
Once you have chosen the location where you wish to install your VorTech pump, clean away any algae,
calcified or otherwise, using a razor blade or cleaning device. Use caution when handling the razor blade.
Notes on placement
The VorTech creates over 1575 gallons per hour of low velocity flow within your aquarium. Take care to
place the VorTech in a suitable location where corals are not placed directly in the line of flow. If you have
a sand bed, place the pump sufficiently high enough so that sand is not blown around by the output or
undertow created by the MP10 pump.
Protect the pump from water
The VorTech’s motor housing and driver are NOT WATERPROOF. Any water allowed into these components
can damage them and void your warranty. Protect these components from any contact with water.

Warning:
Do Not Drop Your MP10 Pump
The MP10 is highly engineered to be as small and powerful as possible. As a result the MP10 is more fragile than a larger pump may
be. All precautions must be taken to avoid dropping the MP10 wet side and dry side. After a fall onto the floor, both the wet side and
the dry side can be permanently damaged. Evidence of this include cracking of the advanced ceramic axle within the wet side, or
the dry side running loudly. The MP10 SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO FALL to the floor. Damage from dropping will not be covered
under the pump’s warranty.
