INSTALLATION |
|
|
Your new SCWD can accommodate many installation options to support various pump outputs and tank configurations. We will address the most common options to provide general installation and operating information.
The SCWD can be mounted in line using PVC pipe and fittings, or can be installed using vinyl tubing and barbed fittings. Please follow the steps provided below to install your new SCWD.
Planning is key. Identify the location the SCWD will be mounted. Consider mounting the SCWD in a location which will allow for ease of access to the SCWD. Mounting the SCWD behind or under the tank in the stand or cabinet will provide for ease of adjustments and cleaning.
Decide whether you are going to “hard” plumb using PVC piping, or “soft” plumb using vinyl tubing.
The following information will provide general instructions related to both Vinyl Tubing and PVC installations.
CAUTION: As in any external pump or filter, when mounting the SCWD where it is lower than the aquarium water line, performing maintenance without closing off the water to the SCWD will result in water backflow/siphoning, resulting in water leakage or flooding, which can cause extensive damage and present a SAFETY HAZARD…Please take necessary precautions by installing adequate valving to prevent potential flooding.
