The Rotator creates a pressure wave with a 360 degree rotation of water from the power head.

SUGGESTIONS FOR USE:

* Mount under the hood for a rotating discharge across the top of the tank.

* Use the stand to move the rotating discharge to various heights in the tank.

* Use the fan-shaped nozzle to spread a rotating flow vertically in the tank.

* Mount horizontally with the fan nozzle to rotate top to bottom.

The Rotating Pulser creates a pressure wave by pulsing a flat fan-shaped stream of water combined with a 100 degree sweeping discharge of water from the power head.

SUGGESTIONS FOR USE:

* Mount under the hood for a flat pulsing wave action across the top of the tank. Add an extension to the rotating outlet and sweep across the bottom of the tank.

* Mount on the bottom of the tank to pulse on the bottom and sweep across the top.

* Use the adjustment ring accessory to modify the flow of the flat stream. Use various nozzles to modify the flow from the rotating outlet.

* Mount horizontally to pulse wave action across the back of coral and remove the nozzle to pulse a straight stream across the side of the tank.

* Use a stand to mount in the center of the tank and pulse in one direction while sweeping across in another.

I've experience with Hyfro Flo previously. IMO, it's more reliable than the Dymax version. However, I've seen the internal plastic gears worn off on my friend's flo. I think he might have tried to force it to turn with his hands when the thing jamed. Rather, one should dismantle it to remove sand particles or whatever that caused the jam.

I feel that Flo redirects your water, but at the same time its internal fins also applies resistance to reduce flow from your return pump. The effect is probably like adding a couple more elbows to your return piping. So it's a choice between redirected flow or more flow.

Ya, for above we need frequent maintenance. Otherwise, the debris build up may result drop in performance and damage your deflector gear as well.. for example a tiny sand seizes between two gear or chaeto's from your return pump trap into it. Cheers..
