I have the Tetra 550 pump. It is slotted on one side and solid on the other. How does the pre-filter attach to the pump?

The slotted side is a cover which is removed and the prefilter screws on to the pump inside.

The slotted cap should snap off to reveal and round hole where the pre-filter fitting should fit perfectly.

The slotted section of your pump snaps off to reveal a hose connection, and the hardware provided with the prefilter connects to that .

The filter mounts on the outside, only the intake tube and the output waterfall are in the tank. I use it for fish so I can't address it for frogs however I use Youtube quite a bit and hopefully this video might be of assistance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWiVQjZQNbA

Yes this is a Universal cut to fit pre-filter. You will cut the material to fit your specific filter. It will work with your unit.

It locks onto the presta valve fine, you have to screw the adapter onto the presta valve on the tire first, then use the regular shrader pump head to attach to the valve adapter.

I have a cartridge filter, so I place it inside the filter cartridge. If you have a sand or DE filter then you'll need to get the Nature2 system which has the external container (and an extra filter hose). Hope this helps.

Make sure you're standing the filter on its back (the filter intake will point straight up) and not on its side. The back has rubber feet and for me they support it quite well.

I have mine in a tray for this reason. Best way to align everything that I've found is to use a straw in the pump/filter so that the other part ends up with the hold in the right place.

It doesn't have threads it seats to the filter and clamps onto it. Clamp comes with it.

According to the description, and assuming you bought an Orbit booster pump separately from this kit, the pump comes fitted with 3/8" push-to-connect fittings that are compatible with the tubing in this kit. Regarding where to put it, the pump should be connected downstream of the filter assembly. This allows the pump to work with clean water. If you put the pump upstream of the filter, not only do you subject it to more sediment and mechanical wear, but you also lose pressure at the misting nozzles because the filter will act as a flow restrictor. So the outlet of the pump should be connected as close as possible to the point of use for maximum results. Hope one of these answers your question.

This fits over the basket in the skimmer with the angled connection facing the opening of the skimmer towards the pool. I find it easiest to turn the pump off when removing it due to the amount of suction. There are two slots in the angled fitting that correspond with small tabs on the round adapter. Fit it together before attaching just so you see how it should fit together when in use.

As others have mentioned, set up is very simple. It's a matter of attaching the pump to the filter by tightening the knob connector. Then, connect the incoming pipe to the pump and the outgoing pipe to the filter. Be sure to wrap the fittings with teflon tape or the connections will leak like crazy.

In the picture you can see a circular disc with a 90 degree elbow. This attaches to your vacuum hose then you feed it though the skimmer door and the suction from the pump will pull the disc into place. I connected a rigid screw in PVC attachment with a rubber gasket all from lowes to my skimmer then back to the sand filter.

you can cut the tube on the side that goes into the tank. make it the length that you need. the slotted part comes off the filter tube and that is where you cut to make it shorter

The filter goes on the bottom of the water tray and the motor/pump sits inside it. It keeps debris from entering the motor and clogging it. Then there is the cylindrical filter that goes inside the black tube that fits on top of the conical covering and attaches to the motor.

It has a pre cut opening in the back. It is for the filter back flow of water. Make sure your tank has a plastic border around the entire top of the glass . If. Not then the cover will fall into the tank. I had to build plastic extensions on mine.

It fits in the bottom of the waterfall space, it's designed for tetra waterfall filter. If you have the waterfall device, in the bottom there is a removable plastic shelf that keeps this replacement filter off the bottom. This replacement is the size of the filter. Questions, Google tetra waterfall replacement filter for exact measurements, you can also cut to size.

Good question. That pre-filter fit my model #50250-s, a large circular air filtration unit. Some of these pre-filters are "cut-to-fit" using tape or Velcro to secure the pre-filter onto the Hepa-filter, after you have cut the pre-filter to size. I was disappointed in that the pre-filter did not "bolt on", as the original pre-filter did.For an answer to your question, call KAZ USA, Inc. at 1 800 477-0457.Jim
