Useful Tips
1. The principle of this sand cleaner is gravity. The water outlet must be at least 19 inches lower than the water inlet when you use this gravel cleaner.
2. Due to manual measurement and length conversion, a 0.1-0.5 inch error is allowed, please in kind prevails.
3. Due to the different strengths of each person, the size, and the water depth of the fish tank, there is no clear Drain Flow Rate. Please refer to the actual operation.
4. When washing sand: If the filter from your fish tank is powerful, you can put the outlet hose into the fish tank, and the sand is circulated in the tank without draining the water. If not, it is recommended that you vacuum turbid water directly from the tank and change to clean water.
5. When the gravel is sucked in too much and is about to reach or reach the top of the tube (near the filter port), lift the hard tube slightly, and the gravel will fall back into the fish tank.

2. Press and absorb the water until the water circulates naturally.
3. Insert the hard tube into the sand to absorb the sand (not too much).

3. Press the bottom of both sides to fasten the water hose in the middle.

Bought through Amazon. Planted Aquarium cleaning made easy. The duckbill suction inlet helps in precise cleaning. Sad that Hygger only provided a small length of outlet pipe.
Real simple and easy to use, the set up is a piece of cake. Found it to be so much easier than using a siphon vacuum.
This hand pump makes it super convenient to do water changes on my two aquariums I own. The hose clamp really helps with controlling the speed I siphon up water and clean my sand. No more playing with squeeze balls to siphon out water!
