PA50 and PA60 Aeration Systems ...
These aeration systems come with a continuous
duty compressor, 200 feet of hose and two air
diffusers.
Once the air diffuser is assembled and the tub-
ing is attached, you are ready to install the dif-
fuser. 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 diffuser is possi-
ble.
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 round rubber membrane diffuser into the PVC base. Fill base with sand or
small stone.
3. Slide one end of the tubing onto the barbed adapter on the PVC base and secure with a
clamp (provided).
4. Attach the 2' piece of flex pipe into the outlet side of the compressor.
5. Unroll the entire roll of pipe. It is recommended that the pond diffuser be installed at this
point. This will allow you to trim any unused pipe before attaching to the pump. Once
installed and trimmed, attach the other end of the tubing to the flexible hose on the com-
pressor.
6. Connect the valved outlet assembly to the compressor.
7. Connect the tubing to the flex hose on the compressor. Once the compressor is running,
you may have to adjust the valves to equal the air flow to each diffuser. This corrects the
difference in air flow caused by a difference in operating depth and/or tubing lengths.
PA50 and PA60 Packing List:
The PA50 and PA60 aeration sys-
tems are identical except for the
compressor. The PA60 compres-
sor has a higher pressure rating
for deeper water operation. All
other items and assembly are the
same for these two kits.
After one or two years of opera-
tion, you will possibly notice a sudden drop in air bubbles. This is a sign the compressor
needs new vanes. A rebuild kit is available to restore like-new performance.
Be sure to keep the air filter clean. Wash dirty air filters in soapy water. Replacement filters
are available.
