Does the Elite Jet-Flo Internal Aquarium Filter 75 need a venturi plug?

I have just bought the Elite Jet-Flo 75 and it has a venturi system. I don't want to use the venturi system as I have plenty of air - this is a 25L tank I will use for quarantine and hospitalisation. I have read that other systems with venturi e.g. Fluval have a 'venturi plug' (and manual says if you don't use it the fish could be in danger). I just want to use the output adaptor without attaching the tubing etc. I don't understand why the fish would be in danger, there is no suction or air coming out of the venturi outlet and it is not big enough for fish to swim into.

Thanks in advance!

    You definitely do not not need it. Some prefer to use it, but unless conditions in your tank is all wrong, the fish won't care one way or the other.
