Important to know
- An air pump is a necessity for a pond or aquarium and serves many functions for fish and other aquatic life.
- Introduces oxygen into the water
- Provides quick and safe gas exchange, removing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide.
- The upward movement of the air bubbles helps to circulate the water
- Water movement creates an ice free area during the winter
- Provides oxygen to beneficial bacteria (nitrifying bacteria) that help to break down waste.
PERFORMANCE DATA
- Make sure that your electrical voltage is compatible with voltage printed on the air pump label
- Always use a properly grounded electrical outlet
- To avoid electrical shock and/or electrical short, use a drip loop to prevent water travel along the power cord
- Only use a proper rating extension cord when needed. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than air pump rating may over heat.
- Air pump should be placed above the water level for maximum performance
- If the air pump accidentally falls into the water, unplug the unit first before retrieving it from the water
- Do not install or store air pump where it can be exposed to extreme weather conditions or temperature below freezing
- To avoid electrical shock: do not operate air pump if it has a damaged cord or a wet plug
- To prevent damage to the air pump: air stones should be cleaned or replaced periodically. This allows the air pump to run with minimum back pressure, allowing the diaphragm to last longer
- Do not attempt to repair air pump at home. If service is needed, return air pump to an authorized service center for service.
- Make sure that the circuit to your pool is protected by a GFI outlet and a fuse or by a GFI circuit breaker
