To install the AquaClear 11182 Marina Betta Submersible Heater in your betta fish tank, follow these steps:
1. Position the heater in the aquarium: Place the heater in the desired location in your betta fish tank. It can be placed horizontally or vertically, depending on your preference and the available space.
2. Attach the suction cups: Press the suction cups firmly against the glass or plastic wall of the aquarium to adhere the heater securely in place. Ensure that the suction cups are firmly attached to prevent the heater from moving or falling.
3. Pass the power supply cord: If your aquarium has a designated opening in the cover for cords, pass the power supply cord through that opening. This will help keep the cord organized and prevent it from getting tangled or in the way.
4. Acclimatize the heater: Allow the heater to acclimate to the aquarium water temperature for at least 10 minutes before plugging it into the electrical outlet. This helps prevent any sudden temperature changes that could stress your betta fish.
5. Create a "drip loop" for safety: When plugging the power cord into an electrical outlet, make sure to create a "drip loop" to prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the outlet. A "drip loop" is formed by allowing a portion of the cord to hang below the level of the outlet, creating a downward loop that prevents water from reaching the outlet.
6. Ensure the heater remains submerged: It is important to ensure that the AquaClear 11182 Marina Betta Submersible Heater remains fully submerged in the water at all times. This allows for efficient heat distribution and prevents damage to the heater.
Following these installation steps will help you properly install the AquaClear 11182 Marina Betta Submersible Heater in your betta fish tank. For more detailed instructions and safety precautions, please refer to the user manual provided with the product.
