at least partially open to ensure that excessive pressure is not sent to the diffuser being tested. This could result in
damage to the tube membranes.
9. The tubing may be buried in a trench and/or cover with rocks or dirt. For winter operation in freezing conditions,
the self-weighted tubing on the shore must be buried below the frost line and the exposed compressor hose must be
insulated with hot water heater pipe insulation. If the self-weighted tubing is not buried below the frost line, it must
run downhill without any drips. Atmospheric air contains water and as it compresses during winter, it will enter the
exposed tubing. If there are and dips in the line, the water will pool and eventually freeze, blocking the air supply
line completely.
System Start-Up Procedure
The purpose of the Lake Bed Aeration System is to circulate the pond's entire water column. This circulation will increase
and maintain oxygen levels and eliminate drastic temperature fluctuations. The efficiency of the AirEco/AirPro can initially
create problems if the following start-up procedure is not followed. Improper start-up may result in an unintentional fish kill.
•
Day 1: Turn on the system and operate for 15 minutes.
•
Day 2: Turn on the system and operate for 30 minutes.
•
Day 3: Turn on the system and operate for 1 hour.
•
Day 4: Turn on the system and operate for 2 hours.
•
Day 5: Turn on the system and operate for 4 hours.
•
Day 6: Turn on the system and operate for 8 hours.
•
Day 7: Turn on the system and operate for 16 hours.
•
Day 8: Turn on the system and let it run continuously.
•
If a strong odor emanates from the body of water, turn unit off immediately and wait 24 hours before starting
the procedure again, this time in five minute increments.
Winter Operation and Precautions
The AirEco/AirPro System is designed to operate year-round. However, certain precautions will need to be taken during the
winter months.
DANGER—If you choose to operate your aeration system through the winter, be sure to follow these instructions for safe
and proper operation:
•
Operating in freezing conditions on an ice-covered pond may cause large open water areas to remain at the
aeration sites. In addition, the ice thickness around these open areas will be much thinner than the ice over the
remainder of the water body. Injury or fatality may result from people, snowmobiles, etc. falling through the
ice. Aqua Control strongly recommends that this danger of thin ice around the aeration area be clearly posted in
several areas. Owner assumes all responsibility for operating aeration systems during winter months.
•
To prevent the risk of cooling the entire water column, the diffuser(s) should be moved to a shallower portion of
the water body (typically one-half of the depth of the original placement) and operated there until spring thaw.
Moving the diffuser to shallower water allows warmer water to remain in the lower regions of the pond and
prevent the water from becoming too cold for fish.
•
The self-weighted tubing on shore must be buried below the frost line or insulated. Refer to #9 in the "Airpod
Diffuser Placement" section for more information.
If you choose to turn off the system for the winter:
•
Simply unplug the system. No other equipment preparation is required.
•
Before restarting the system in the spring, check th airlines for possible ice blockage. If this occurs, pour one cup
of denatured alcohol into each line to melt the ice. Allow the air from the compressor to push through the line
until heat generated by the compressor melts the remaining ice.
•
It will be necessary to follow the "System Start-Up Procedure" (see above) to prevent a possible fish kill.
