PA10 Aeration System ...

The PA10 aerator features a 1/20th horse power contin-

uous duty air compressor, 50' of tubing and a pond dif-

fuser.

Once the air diffuser is assembled and the tubing is

attached, you are ready to install the diffuser into the

pond. Always unroll the tubing completely before

installing the diffuser. The diffuser can be lowered into

your pond with a rope. Often a float, such as a duck

decoy or a milk jug, will be used so retrieval of the dif-

fuser is possible.

Assembly:

1. Unpack all the parts. Compare parts with packing list below to ensure all parts were

received. If a shortage occurs, please notify us immediately.

2. Screw the two airstones into the PVC manifold. Do not overtighten! Hand tighten only!

3. Slide one end of the tubing onto the barbed adapter coming out of the PVC manifold.

Clamp this connection using the clamp provided.

4. Position the PVC manifold and airstones onto the white plastic underlay. Use the plastic

straps provided to attach the manifold to the underlay.

5. Attach the other end of the tubing to the compressor and tighten.

After one or two years of operation, you will possibly notice a sudden drop in air bubbles.

This is a sure sign that the diaphram has cracked and needs replacing. Repair kit DC22RK

has all the items necessary to rebuild your compressor.

Be sure to clean the inlet air filter on your compressor regularly. Wash dirty air filters in

soapy water. Replacement filters are available.
