Location

The Pond Oxygenator Pumps have been designed to be weather-proof, so they are able to be

installed in most locations around the garden, or in a shed or garage, close to your chosen power

supply. Ensure that the air pump is installed above the pond water level to avoid back siphoning of

pond water into the air pump in the event of a mains power failure. Alternatively, if the air pump can

only be installed below the pond level install Aqua Air Check Valves into each piece of air line. The

air pump should be located on a firm surface which will not vibrate and act as a sounding board, a

concrete floor or paving slab would be ideal.

Position the air pump in a clean and dust free environment. Excessive dirt will block the air filters,

reducing the air pumps performance and increase the speed of wear on replaceable parts.

IMPORTANT - The air pump must be stood the correct way up – with all four rubber feet

touching the surface on which it is installed. This will ensure the maximum protection from

adverse weather conditions. Water ingress will cause damage, and void the warranty.

Connecting the air line and air stones

Your Pond Oxygenator has been designed to run continuously and ideally unrestricted. This will

maintain maximum performance and the best possible life span for all replaceable parts e.g.

diaphragms and flapper valves.

Ideally all outlets should have an air line and air stone connected, this will give your pond maximum

aeration and ensure that damaging back pressure is kept to a minimum. Over time, air stones will

become blocked leading to a reduction in air pump performance, therefore it is advised to replace

the air stones every twelve months as a minimum, or more frequently depending on the cleanliness of

the air pumps environment.

Attach one end of the air line to the metal outlet on the Pond Oxygenator, attach the air stone to

the other end of the air line. Then simply place the air stone into your pond or filter, and turn on

the air pump.

The air stones should be positioned to provide maximum aeration and circulation in the pond. (Note:

for use in winter, the air stones should be placed no lower than 30cm from the bottom of the pond,

this will ensure the warmer lower water regions remain undisturbed.)
