Installation Guide

1. Measure the required length for your aquarium setup and cut the hose to size if necessary.
2. Attach one end of the hose to the filter’s intake port, ensuring a tight seal with the provided fittings.
3. Secure the opposite end to the outlet or return line, again verifying that all connections are snug.
4. Run the hose along the tank walls or behind the filtration unit, using cable ties or adhesive clips to keep it in place and prevent accidental dislodgement.
5. Turn on the filter system and check for leaks. Adjust fittings as needed until a leak‑free operation is achieved.
