Installation Guide
We recommend regularly cleaning your Mozzie Stoppa Original to prevent the mosquito-proof screen from becoming clogged or blocked with sediments and debris.
To clean, remove your Mozzie Stoppa Original from your tank overflow outlet and hose or otherwise clean the mosquito-proof screen. Replace the Mozzie Stoppa Original immediately after cleaning by pressing it back into your tank overflow outlet.
If your inlet/overflow issue persists, remove your tank screen and check for floating debris on the water surface. Floating debris such as sworf from the tank installation process’ may be blocking the Mozzie Stoppa during overflow and drifting away from the overflow when overflow has stopped.
High or extra high tank overflows offer a simple and effective way to increase your tank’s storage capacity.
Whichever tank overflow product you choose to use, your overflow needs to sit below the base of your tank inlet screen. The advantage of the high level overflow is that it raises the maximum water level within the tank.
The diameter of the overflow must be equal to or larger than the diameter of the inlet pipe.
Each tank overflow kit comes with a tank overflow outlet, mosquito-proof Mozzie Stoppa screen, a gasket and screws so you have everything you neeed for installation. The size of the components included in your kit will depend upon the product you order and are listed on each individual product page. (For product-specific information, visit the product page for your chosen tank overflow kit via the links above.)
The bend on your high level tank overflow should face up towards the top of your tank in order to increase your tank’s storage volume and overflow height.
Yes. We recommend installing your high level overflow with the bend facing directly upwards, however, it can also be installed on an angle to adjust the upper level. This may be necessary to ensure the overflow level stays below the base of your tank inlet and/or tank inlet screen.
No. The Mozzie Stoppa Original (TATO05) is not self-cleaning, so it requires periodic removal and cleaning. The socket and spigot feature ribbing that provides a secure, non-glue fit. (For full installation instructions, see the Support page for your chosen tank overflow kit.)
