The Lee's Self-Start Ultra Gravel Vacuum Cleaner simplifies aquarium maintenance by efficiently separating and removing debris from gravel during routine water changes. Its self-starting siphon initiates water flow with ease, eliminating the need for manual priming.
Key Features:
Wide-Mouth Nozzle: Increases surface coverage by approximately 20%, enabling faster and more efficient cleaning with less water usage.
Ultra Hose Clip: Securely holds the hose in place, allowing for hands-free operation and added convenience.
Various Sizes Available: Offered in multiple sizes to accommodate different aquarium dimensions and cleaning needs.
Designed for both novice and experienced aquarists, Lee's Self-Start Ultra Gravel Vacuum Cleaner streamlines the cleaning process, ensuring a healthier environment for your aquatic life.
Step 1: Prepare the Equipment
Remove the gravel vacuum and hose from the packaging.
Attach the hose to the gravel tube if it isn’t already connected.
Place the Ultra Hose Clip on the edge of your bucket to hold the hose in place during cleaning.
Step 2: Submerge the Gravel Tube
Place the gravel tube vertically into your aquarium water, ensuring it fills completely with water (eliminating air bubbles).
Let the hose hang into the bucket, which should be positioned below the level of the tank for proper siphoning.
Step 3: Activate the Siphon
To start the siphon, simply move the gravel vacuum tube up and down rapidly in the tank water. The self-start feature will automatically begin water flow without the need to suck or manually prime.
Step 4: Begin Cleaning
Push the gravel tube into the substrate and lift slightly to allow debris and waste to be pulled into the tube while the gravel falls back down.
Work methodically across the bottom of the tank to clean evenly.
Step 5: Monitor Water Level
Watch the water level in your tank and stop siphoning once you've removed the desired amount (usually 20–30% during a routine water change).
Step 6: Finish Up
Remove the gravel tube from the tank and allow any remaining water to drain into the bucket.
Dispose of the dirty water and rinse the gravel vacuum with clean water before storing.
Tips:
Use during regular water changes (weekly or bi-weekly) for best tank health.
Avoid disturbing delicate plants or decorations during cleaning.
