6. Adjust Dripping speed by turning the valve until you obtain the
preferred dripping flow.
7. Adjust the leaves in a way that they guide the droplets back into
the water reservoir to prevent spilling.
WATER TREATMENT
Since the water is used as drinking water by the terrarium
inhabitants it should be treated with Exo Terra ® Aquatize to remove
chlorine and heavy metals, or with Exo Terra ® Calcium to remove
chlorine and heavy metals while at the same time adding extra
calcium to prevent your animals from getting dietary problems.
Adding Exo Terra ® Biotize will help to keep the water cleaner longer,
as well as promoting necessary beneficial bacteria and reducing
odors associated with decaying waste.
Maintenance
Warning: To avoid injury, always unplug all appliances from the
outlet when not in use. Disconnect the plug of this pump, and any
other electrical equipment, used for the terrarium, paludarium
or aqua-terrarium before placing your hands in the water and/or
performing any maintenance of any kind.
The pump’s motor is hermetically sealed, thereby requiring no
lubrication or maintenance. Do NOT open the motor housing.
The impeller cavity, although it is self cleaning, requires regular
maintenance to remove dirt, slime and debris build-up to ensure
smooth running and to extend the life of the pump.
Cleaning the pump:
1. Unplug the pump and remove it from the water part.
2. Disassemble the complete impeller cavity by first removing the
intake screen, and then the filter foam.
3. Lift out the impeller and remove from unit completely.
4. Thoroughly clean the impeller to remove slime, dirt or debris.
5. Place the impeller back into the impeller cavity. Replace the filter
foam and the intake screen.
Note: If you are using well water, or if you have hard water, run the
pump for a few minutes in a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar to
help remove calcium deposit buildup before rinsing thoroughly and
replacing the pump.
CAUTION: Do not use detergents or other chemical cleaners.
TROUBLESHOOTING: If the pump fails to operate, check
the following:
No Flow:
• Check if the power supply is on. Check the circuit breaker or try
another outlet to ensure the pump is getting electrical power.
Note: always disconnect pump from electrical supply before
handling the pump.
• If power supply is working but pump is not, then it may be
clogged by debris. Disconnect the pump, check intake screen to
ensure it is not clogged, then follow the maintenance procedures
to clean impeller.
Low Flow:
• Check the pump’s output tube to ensure it is not clogged
by debris.
• Check the pump’s intake screen to ensure it is not clogged by
debris. Then follow the maintenance procedures to clean impeller
