Instructions
Regular Maintenance
Safety Notice:
·
Always use parts that are supplied or approved by Complete Aquatics. Use of other
parts may result in poor performance and could create a hazardous situation. Contact
your dealer for information on how to get parts.
·
Always unplug the air pump from the outlet to perform any maintenance on the unit.
The air filter (located under the black cap on the top of the pump) on the pump ensures no
dust or debris makes it into the tubing or diffuser, which could clog the system and restrict
air flow. The air filter must be periodically cleaned (dust lightly, then use mild soapy water;
let filter dry thoroughly) or replaced. After cleaning, place the filter back into the air pump.
DO NOT OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT THE FILTER INSTALLED.
The air pump will need a diaphragm replacement every 12-36 months depending on:
operating depth, air quality & operating tempurature. If the air pump is operating but
there is no air coming out of the unit or diffusers, then it is possible the diaphragm will
need replaced. Ask your dealer for information about replacing the diaphragm when
acquiring a new one.
Inspect the air tubing and diffusers periodically for any damage such as cuts, cracks,
kinks or creases. Replace any damaged parts before continuing operation.
Winter Operation Considerations, cont’d
Air Pump Winter Care:
The air pump should sit on a flat, horizontal surface elevated slightly off the ground
and above the pond’s water surface. Ensure there is good air circulation around the
pump and no water or snow can come in contact with the pump. Protect the pump
with a cover that will allow proper ventilation and block precipitation or melt-runoff.
Use a cover that is large enough to house the pump and does not have much extra
space. The pump will generate heat during normal operation and a proper cover will
ensure that the pump will keep warm function properly during extreme freezing condi-
tions. The Complete Aquatics Faux Rock with ventilation is an ideal cover. If one is not
available an inverted flower pot without drain holes can be used (NOTE: When using
an inverted flower pot, drill a few 3/8” holes through the side of the pot to allow ventila
-
tion or elevate base of pot 1/4” from the surface of the ground. Make sure the bottom
of the pump is above the base of the upturned pot).
Winter Trouble Shooting:
As with any de-icing device, it is important to visually inspect it frequently to ensure
that it is functioning properly and a hole is maintained in the ice over the pond.
If the air pump stops pumping air:
1. Check the electrical outlet to make sure the pump is getting power.
2. Inspect the ventilation on the pump cover. Remove any abstructions such as ice or
snow.
3. Check intake filter; it may need cleaned. Check intake before and after filter for
obstructions.
4. Check all the tubing connections.
5.
Check the air transfer tubing for proper air flow. If condensation has frozen in the tubing
and preventing air flow, use a hair dryer to thaw it out. You can also disconnect the tubing
and bring inside to a warm environment. Replace the tubing immediately after clearing.
