Pump Installation

Please remember the following pump installation instructions:

1. Locate and clean the surface area where you intend to install the pump and ensure that the glass thickness is no more than 1/2 inch thick.

2. Position the Gyre and the Dry Side Mount in your preferred location. Be cautious not to let the two magnets snap together when mounting.

3. Attach the pump to the inner magnet, ensuring that the power cable is facing upwards. We can mount the 3K pump horizontally near the water surface. So water is pushed across the surface and returns in the familiar Gyre flow pattern. Or, we can choose to set the pump vertically on the rear glass and push water across the back or side of the aquarium. On very long or wide aquariums the Gyre can be placed vertically on the back wall and cycle to the front of the aquarium and back.

4. Once installed, we may rotate the flow cages clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the water flow angle and take note to where the water is directed. When mounting the IceCap Gyre vertically, please be sure to rotate the cages so that the water intake is AWAY from the glass or acrylic walls.

WARNING: The creation of waves within the aquarium can place excessive stress on the aquarium and its seams. Not all aquariums can withstand the stress produced by waves. We are not responsible for any damage to the surrounding environment or indirect damage caused by the production of waves within the aquarium.

Controller Installation

Please ensure that you mount the controller in a dry location within reach of the flow pump using screws (not included). Make sure to leave a drip loop between the controller and the pump. Next, plug the power supply into the power port of the controller and then plug the other end into your home receptacle.

Connect the cable from the controller to the Gyre pump and then connect the cable from the power supply to the controller. Finally, connect the pump to the power outlet and run the pump for the first time.
