Your Vectra Centrifugal Pump is designed to
operate optimally with little attention after initial
setup; however, due to the harsh conditions of
a saltwater aquarium and resulting buildup of
algae and other organic matter, it is advisable to
clean the pump to ensure the longevity of your
purchase.
EcoTech recommends doing a cleaning every 6
months or as necessary.
This can be accomplished by opening the impeller
housing and gently brushing the impeller and
inside of impeller housing with a soft brush under
running water. If there is calcium buildup, it may
be necessary to soak these parts in a mild acid
solution such as vinegar.
Do not use strong acids, because these may
damage the components.
After cleaning, reassemble the Vectra.
