To prevent any water from flowing back into the pump when powered off, it is advisable to
install the pump above water level. Tubing must run at a downward slope away from the
compressor. The use of an inline check valve is also recommended to further prevent
moisture damage.
Service & Maintenance
Dust and debris blocking the air intake
may cause abnormal noises or result
in a failure of the pump. Periodic
cleaning of the air intake and
sponge is recommended:
• Unplug the air pump before cleaning
or replacing the air intake sponge.
• Remove the air intake cover, intake
filter and clean with mild detergent.
• Rinse the components thoroughly and
allow to dry completely before reinstalling.
Diaphragm replacement
Rubber diaphragms are a wearable part that will need servicing over time. Moisture, heat and
dust will all shorten the life of the diaphragms. Please follow the following steps when
installing replacement diaphragms.
• Remove the top cover housing for the air pump. Loosen the air chamber screws (1) and
remove the outer air chamber (2).
• Loosen the diaphragm nut (3) and remove the diaphragm depressor (4), electrostatic
membrane (5) and the damaged diaphragm (6).
• Install the new diaphragm ensuring that the rubber tabs align properly with the notches
on the inner air chamber.
• Once the diaphragm is seated properly, assemble the components by following the
previous steps in reverse order.
