Installing Flow Pump Manifold HUB
Step 1. Choose a location underneath your aquarium cabinet free of excessive moisture and/or
saltwater. If connecting to another manifold HUB, ensure distance between HUBs is 2”-4”.
Step 2. Using included wood mounting screws, mount the eFlux flow pump HUB mounting bracket
to stand. Slide flow pump manifold HUB into bracket.

Step 1. Plug DC pump cable into pump connection on manifold HUB.
Step 2. Plug 24VDC power supply into DC input on manifold HUB.
Connecting Pump to Manifold HUB
Step 3. Red LED status light should turn solid red. Adjust flow from 0-100% using dial until
flow rate is acheived. NOTE: eFlux DC pumps have a slow ramp to speed, allow pump
to run for 10-15 seconds for pump to reach adjusted flow.
**Important - Due to harsh conditions found around marine aquariums, it is important to perform the
following pump maintenance every 6 months. When performing any maintenance or service, ensure
pump is disconnected from power and manifold HUB.
1. Remove pump from service by disconnecting power and removing pump from sump via disconnect
fittings.
2. Carefully remove front pump cover, o-rings and slide impeller from pump. Use a small soft brush and
running freshwater to clean any organic debris. If any calcium deposits have developed, soak the
components in mild citric acid/freshwater solution. DO NOT use strong acids or vinegar.
3. Re-assemble pump, reconnect fittings with all o-rings properly in place and reconnect power.

Note: FEED mode will only operate when DC pump is plugged into a manifold HUB with an Orbit IC
controller, eFlux wave pump controller or the HUB is controlled via Bluetooth. When in FEED
mode, DC flow pump will ramp down to 30% flow for 10 minutes, then ramp to normal speed.
