1. INSTALLATION Cont. |

Helpful Tip - Although your new SCWD is built to the highest quality standards, it is recommended that care be exercised when installing hoses so as to not damage the inlet and outlet nipples. To facilitate easy installation, moisten the end of each hose with hot water.
c. Install one hose on each outlet of the SCWD by applying firm, but even pressure, until each hose is fully seated. It is recommended at this point that you install worm clamps for added protection against leaks and the possibility of the hose coming loose. Do not over-tighten the worm clamps.
d. Install the inlet hose using the same operations noted in 1.c., paying close attention not to exert too much force on the nipple.
e. Once all hoses are mounted and clamped, you are now ready to install the outlet elbows and nozzles on each end of the outlet hoses. By combining rigid elbows to form an angle over the aquarium side you can adjust the position of the outlet nozzles to give you the desired current affect. The configuration of the elbow is such that it will hang over the back of the tank on both sides like an upside down “U”, ref. Diagram 1. At this time, you should support the SCWD by mounting or hanging the SCWD from the back of your tank using a coat hanger (or suitable wire) bent as shown in diagram 1.
f. Connect the inlet hose with the inline valve to your pump, canister filter, or powerhead outlet. Be sure to use a worm clamp to avoid any potential leakage.

2. OPERATION |
|
|
Congratulations! You are ready to begin operation of the #1 wave maker on the market.
Make certain the device (SCWD) is securely installed before operation.
a. Open the in-line valve between the water pump and your SCWD so that it is approximately half open. This is a precautionary step to prevent a full force surge to the SCWD when using some of the higher volume and pressure pumps.
b. Apply power to the water pump. Verify water outlets are expelling water and that there are no leaks at any of the connections. Verify that the device is switching water flow between the two outlets. Now open the in-line valve to desired flow.
Helpful Tip - Switching speed and current duration is dependent on the volume of water flowing through the SCWD. Higher volume pumps will naturally cause a quicker switching response than lower volume pumps. By adjusting your inline valve you will be able to regulate both the amount of flow and the switching speed.
