# Installing the Clarisea SK5000 into the sump
{% hint style="warning" %}
\*\*\****You can use either 1 or 2 SK5000 roller mats in these sumps. The flow rate into the sump will determine whether you need 1 or 2 roller mats. While each SK5000 is rated for 1200 GPH MAX, or 2 for 2400 GPH MAX, Flow rates thru this sump may be lower based on our testing. If using only 1 Roller mat, you need to keep the plug in the second bulkhead on the empty side with no clarisea SK5000. For the best operation we recommend keeping the flow below the SK5000's Maximum flow rate.***
{% endhint %}
1. Double check that the “Crash Box Weir Baffle” if not already, is installed into the sump. See [figure A.2 Here](/installation-manuals/sk-sump-installation/installing-filter-socks-only.md):
2. Remove the SK Access Panel’s 6 Thumbscrews and Panel. See Figure A.7 below.
3. Make sure to have the SK5000’s 1″ drain flow tube installed into the unit.
4. Place the Clarisea SK5000 into the desired chamber. The number 1 plate will be in the front position on a Left to Right flow sump. The number 2 Plate will be in the front position on a Right to Left flow sump. See Figure A.5 below
5. Remove the 1″ Threaded plug from the desired bulkhead adapter for use.
6. If needed, you may have to align the SK5000 white 1" input tube with the bulkhead adapter (The bulkhead may shift during shipping). You can loosen the 1″ Bulkhead nut from the back side (seen below in FIGURE A.\* circled in Blue) and adjust while screwing in the 1" SK5000 tube. Then re-tighten the bulkhead nut after putting the thumbscrews into place on the SK Plate.
7. Use the SK Access hole and slowly screw in the SK5000’s 1″ Drain Flow tube into the included 1″ Bulkhead. This only needs to be slightly screwed in and DO NOT Overtighten it. It will be hard to remove later if it is over tightened and can also damage the threads on the bulkhead or clarisea pipe.
8. Close the water bypass triangle on the SK5000 all the way. This will not need to be used unless you have too much flow thru the Clarisea SK5000.
9. Do the same for the second Clarisea if you are using 2 of them.
10. You are now ready to turn on your return pump on your system!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.synergyreef.com/installation-manuals/sk-sump-installation/installing-the-clarisea-sk5000-into-the-sump.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
