Hygger 256GPH Gravel Vacuum for Aquariums - Low Water Level Cleaner with Adjustable Suction Ball

From the Brand: An Introduction

It all began when a group of like-minded friends serendipitously visited an ornamental fish farm. They were captivated by the stunning array of fish they had never encountered before. As they listened attentively to the owner explaining the intricate characteristics and breeding needs of various ornamental fish, they realized how much meticulous care goes into maintaining these charming creatures. This discovery ignited a shared passion among them, prompting a collective journey into the fascinating world of aquariums.

The Birth of the Hygger Brand

Coinciding with Oxford Dictionary's declaration of the Word of the Year, the Danish term 'hygge' sparked a Nordic trend. Translated generally as "comfortable and cozy," hygger inspired the creation of hygger. If we were to define hygger further, it embodies a lifestyle that steers clear of stress and annoyance while embracing moments with loved ones, indulging in personal passions, or even enjoying solitary time. It’s about finding what brings relaxation and comfort.

In this light, the serene beauty of pet fish and the harmonious ecosystem of aquariums encapsulate the very essence of a hygger experience.

Product Overview: 256GPH Gravel Vacuum for Aquariums

Introducing the hygger Aquarium Vacuum Gravel Cleaner— a versatile and efficient tool designed to simplify aquarium maintenance. This manual siphon cleaning tool boasts a water flow of 256GPH and can be employed for multiple tasks, including water changes, gravel cleaning, and removing organic debris. Thanks to its user-friendly design, you won’t have to touch dirty water with your hands while cleaning. Despite being manual, it operates effortlessly and doesn’t consume much time.

Understanding the Siphon Principle

When engaging with the siphon principle, it's essential to monitor the water levels at both the inlet and outlet, maintaining a difference of at least 19.7 inches. The vacuum can still function effectively with as little as 11 inches of water in the tank, and it can reach a minimal water level of 0.8 inches, making it adaptable for various tank conditions.

Ease of Use

The vacuum's suction ball doubles as a handle, crafted from EVA material for excellent elasticity and durability. Power-free usage promotes safety and energy conservation, allowing operation even during power outages. With just three to seven presses, the vacuum becomes ready for use.

Accessories Included

• Outlet Hose: A 79-inch high-quality PVC hose with an outer diameter of 0.7 inches and an inner diameter of 0.6 inches, which can be cut to desired lengths.
• Fixture Clamp: This feature secures the water hose, preventing leaks and allowing for hands-free use.
• Hose Clip: Easily adjust water flow with this convenient tool tailored to your needs.
• Extension Tubes: Depending on your tank's size, you can use one or two extension tubes, extending from 15.3 inches to 33 inches.

Operating Instructions for Gravel Cleaning

1. Connect the outlet hose to the inlet tube.
2. Hold or pinch the suction ball, ensuring gravel enters the tube (avoid overloading).
3. Move the device side to side for cleaning.
4. Lift it up and down to replace gravel.
5. The impurities from the gravel will exit through the outlet hose along with the water flow.

Helpful Tips

The detachable arrow segment in the design allows for easy cleaning when necessary. Ensure you connect it correctly, as improper installation may hinder performance. Be mindful of potential minor length discrepancies due to manual measurements.

For sand washing, if your tank's filter is robust, you can keep the outlet hose in the tank, cycling the sand without water loss. Otherwise, it’s advisable to replace murky water directly and refill with clean water.
