1. Features
The
Mistral
membrane air pumps are designed for universal use. The housing is made from cast
aluminium and this, combined with the magnetic control system and the vibration reducing rubber
feet, results in exceptionally quiet operation.
Important note:
The pump must only be operated at the correct voltage (see type label).

3. Connections
The pump is connected to the equipment it supplies via an air hose (12 mm, ½”). If ozone is to be
used, ozone resistant tubing (e. g. silicone) must be used. When operating several consumers the
distributor provided can be used. 10 consumers can be attached via a 6/4 aquarium air hose.
4. Installation
The pump should be positioned in a dry place. Care should be taken to ensure that water cannot
enter the pump when, for instance, it is switched off for aquarium maintenance or during a power
failure. There are two methods of installation:
- above the water level – see Fig. A below
-
below the water level. In this case, a reliable non-return valve must be fitted in the air line –
see Fig. B below
Ensure that the power plug can easily be reached at any time.
