Side or Back of the Aquarium Installation
A1. Install the AquaStep PRO UV
Sterilizer on the side or back
of the aquarium by pushing
the mounting bracket spring
attachment located at the top
with your thumb and hang
the unit over the edge of the
aquarium. It may be necessary
to move the triangular portion
of the water fall assembly to
one side so that the mounting bracket can be
pushed far enough to clear the moulding on the
top edge of the aquarium.
A2. Make sure the unit is completely level by
adjusting the plastic screws located on each
side at the bottom of the AquaStep PRO.
A3. Install a pump (not included with the unit) inside the aquarium in the
desired location following the instructions of the pump manufacturer.
A4. Attach one end of the 1/2” ID x 11/16” OD exible tubing to the outlet
side of the pump.
A5. Attach the other end of the exible tubing to the 3/4” MPT x 1/2” barb
elbow located on the top inlet side of the AquaStep. In most cases the
exible tubing will need to be cut to the proper length.

B3. Wrap thread seal tape on the
male threads of the two 3/4”
MPT x 1/2” barb elbow ttings
provided. Wrap each tting
5-7 times with the tape.
B4. Screw one 3/4” MPT x 1/2” barb elbow tting
into top inlet port. Screw in the elbow so that
the barb portion is pointing straight up vertically.
Screw in the other elbow tting into the outlet
port located at the top of the unit and align the
barb portion straight up vertically.
B5. Install the pump (not included with unit) inside
the aquarium in the desired location following
the instructions of the pump manufacturer.
B6. Attach one end 1/2” ID x 11/16” OD exible
tubing on the outlet side of the pump.
B7. Attach the other end of the exible tubing to the 3/4” MPT x barb elbow
located at the top inlet side of the AquaStep PRO. Cut the tubing to the
proper length. Attach a hose clamp and tighten accordingly.
B8. Attach the rest of the tubing to the 3/4” MPT x 1/2” barb elbow located
at the top outlet side of the AquaStep PRO. Attach a hose clamp and
tighten accordingly.
B9. Place the other end of the exible tubing up and over the side or back
of the aquarium so that the water returns to the aquarium and agitates
the surface to aerate the system. In some cases it may be desirable to
connect the exible tubing to a rigid plastic “U” or “J” tube (not
supplied in this unit) that hangs on the aquarium. Attach a hose clamp
to the rigid tube and tighten accordingly. We recommend using the
CustomFlo Water System in place of the “U” or “J” tube for professional
looking installlations.
C. Hanging on a Wet/Dry Filter Installation
C1. Carefully follow all steps in section A (Side or Back of the Aquarium).
D. Underneath Aquarium with a Canister Filter
D1. Place AquaStep PRO on base in desired location next to the canister lter.
Position the AquaStep PRO so that it can be plumbed on the outlet side
of the canister lter.

D2. Screw in the plugs on each
side of the bottom manifold.
Make sure the plug “O” rings
are seated properly. In most
cases, the bottom inlet ports
will not be needed in this type
of installation. In steps D2
and D4, refer to installation
drawings in section #B
(Beside the Aquarium).
D3. Wrap thread seal tape on the
male threads of the two 3/4”
MPT x 1/2” barb elbow ttings
provided. Wrap each tting
5-7 times with the tape.
D4. Screw one 3/4” MPT x 1/2” barb elbow tting into the top inlet port.
Screw in the other elbow tting into the outlet port located at the top
of the unit.
D5. Turn o the valve on the outlet side of the canister lter and
completely drain the exible tubing on the outlet side of the canister
lter. In most cases, it will be necessary to remove the “U” or “J” tube
from the back of the aquarium. Cut the exible tubing on the outlet
side of the canister lter and plumb in line a by-pass valve and “tee”
which will divert only a portion of the water from the canister lter
and into the inlet port of the top manifold. Attach hose clamp and
tighten accordingly.
D6. Attach one end of the 1/2” ID x 11/16” OD exible tubing to the 3/4”
MPT x 1/2” barb elbow located at the top outlet side of the lter.
Attach hose clamp and tighten accordingly.
D7. Place the other end of the tubing up and over the side or back of the
aquarium so that the water returns to the aquarium and agitates the
surface to aerate the system. In some cases, exible tubing can be
attached to a rigid plastic “U” or “J” tube (not supplied in this unit)
that hangs on the aquarium. Attach hose clamp to the rigid tube and
tighten accordingly. We recommend using the CustomFlo Water
System in place of the “U” or “J” tube for professional looking
installlations.
D8. Adjust the by-pass valve to direct appropriate amount of water into
the UV. See Size and Specication Chart for proper ow rate.
