Exo Terra Repti Flo 250 - Manual (Page 5)

Important:
• Disconnect the plug of this and any other submersed
appliance before placing hands in the water.
• The pump must not be allowed to run dry. Check the water
level periodically to ensure water level is sufficient to immerse
pump during operation. Refill water level as necessary.
Flow Control:
This circulation pump is supplied with two spouts: a 90° swivel
spout which directs the water flow output and allows changes to the
flow pattern in the terrarium; and a 180° spout to connect tubing.
Also included, an Air Flow Control Device (Venturi Effect) for added
aeration.
Note:
water flow can be increased or decreased by adjusting the flow
control dial located on the side of the pump. Turn the dial to either
increase (+) or decrease (-) the water flow.
Maintenance:
Warning:
• To avoid injury, always unplug all appliances from the outlet
when not in use; before putting on or taking off parts; and
before cleaning.
• Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or other detergents.
The power cord cannot be replaced, discard the appliance
if damaged.
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. The impeller and
impeller well (where the impeller is located) should be cleaned at
least once a month, more often if necessary.
Cleaning the pump:.
1. Unplug pump and remove it from the installation.
2. To access the impeller cavity: remove the intake screen from the
pump (pump separates in two pieces)
3. Remove the impeller cover.
4. Lift out the impeller
5. Thoroughly clean the impeller and the impeller cavity to remove
slime, dirt or debris.
6. Place the impeller back into the impeller cavity. Replace the
impeller cover, then replace 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 replacing the pump.
