X Filter Installation
The X Filter can be separated into
three major sections to aid fitting if
required.
The bottom section could be fully
submerged and manouvered to
install on sump glass
WARNING: Black electronics
enclosure should never be
submerged under water
Using the hooks, hang the filter to
the desired position into the sump
Position the X Filter based on the
instructions of the next page
4
X Filter 1.0 placement
Optimum water level:
8 -10cm from bottom of unit
Standpipe/flexpipe depth within
overflow:
7cm from top of overflow section to
magnify the vortex effect when the
vortex generating bypass controllers
are used.
X Filter 1.7 placement
Optimum water level:
12 -15cm from bottom of unit
Standpipe/flexpipe depth within
overflow:
7cm from top of overflow section to
magnify the vortex effect when the
vortex generating bypass controllers
are used.
5
The adjustable spacer should be
used for sump glass thickness up to
6mm. Above 6mm the spacer could
be removed. Removing and
adjusting the spacer
The spacer supports the unit to be
level.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: It’s important
the unit to be set as level as possible
in order for the optical sensor to
detect water level more accurately
and fully take advantage of the
fleece media
The hooks allow the unit to be set
into different heights
The middle holes provide the ideal
height, as the top section can move
over the sump glass
WARNING: Do not use the higher
section (upper holes) unless
absolutely necessary
HIGH RISK OF WATER SPILLING
OVER SUMP GLASS
There’s a second set of hooks
provided that are designed to
elevate the unit even higher in
order to obtain ideal water level for
the filter.
WARNING/DISCLAIMER: These
hooks should be used under your
own risk. There’s a risk of water
spilling over the sump glass if not
installed properly or excessive flow
is used.
6
The top module can be placed
left or right from the centre,
depending on installation
requirements or clearance
Top module moves on a track of
7,5cm from one end to another
By releasing or tightening the
white screws (front screw shown)
will allow or restrict movement
After setting the position of the
top module, ensure front and
back screws (back screw shown)
are tight enough to restrict
movement of the top module

Plumbing Installation Options
The X Filter doesn’t required hard
plumbing, as it features an
overflow box to support different
types of plumbing
X Filter 1.0: Overflow box
measures 6,5cm depth (front to
back from sump glass) & 11cm
width
X Filter 1.7: Overflow box measures
6,5cm depth (front to back from
sump glass) & 17cm width
X Filter 1.0 overflow box can hold
a single 50mm (2 in.) or up to two
40mm (1 ½ in.) hard PVC or
flexible pipes
X Filter 1.7 overflow box can hold a
up to two 50mm (2 in.) or up to
three 40mm (1 ½ in.) hard PVC or
flexible pipes
Pipes should sit as close as possible towards the back of the filter (black plate)
The openings on the white plate
should never be blocked!
WARNING: Pipes should have a
clearance of at least 16cm from the
bottom of the box in order to let the flow move freely. Picture only for illustration purposes.
RISK OF SPILLAGE ON HIGH FLOWRATES
8
If flow rate allows it, a hose from
another component, such as a
reactor, could compliment the
filtering and clarity of the water
After installation, use the power
supply provided and connect it
with the cable from the black
box with.
After powering on the power
supply, the green LED on the
bottom of the black box will turn
on.
WARNING: Keep the connector
clear and safe from water or
potential risks of water spillages
as it will void warranty.

Vortex Generating Bypass Controllers
The Vortex Generating Bypass
Controllers are positioned at the
bottom of the overflow section
of the unit.
X Filter 1.0 has two (2) bypass
controller.
X Filter 1.7 has three (3) bypass
controllers.
The Vortex Generating Bypass
Controllers are used to make the
media fleece consumption more
efficient and effective and allow
any microlife to exit the unit
(copepods etc.)
NOTE: The water clarity and effectiveness of the unit is not compromised by the use of this
mechanism. The vortex generated when unit is installed as advised, will help effectively swirl
detritus to the filtering section of the unit.
The bypass controllers are
controlled by the external white
discs at the bottom of the unit, as
displayed.
Open controller by turning
counter clockwise (CCW)
Close controller by turning
clockwise (CW)
NOTE: The Vortex Generating
Bypass Controllers allow fine
tuning of flow at extreme
precision they way they have
been designed.
It is advised to use the controllers
open on new installations and
fine tune when the filter has
gone through the breaking in
period.
10
Fine tuning based on pipe positioning
If there is a single pipe
installed, it is advised to be
installed towards the side of
the overflow box (left or right).
This will enhance the vortex
generated and aid in better
catchment of particles into the
filtering section.
The opposite bypass generator should be used as the main bypass, while the one directly
below the standpipe could be used if more flow is required to pass as a secondary.
If two or more standpipes are
used, the vortex generating
bypass controllers should open
equally.
