UNIT CLEANING
The AP Unit is designed to provide continuous
operation with little to no maintenance. However,
in some locations significant debris within the
pond may eventually get caught on the unit either
restricting the flow pattern at the manifold or
through the intake housing.
Debris may get caught in the air manifold, either
being too large to pass through or resistant to
sliding up the manifold housing. Often debris will
eventually work it's way loose and pass through
the unit or may be pulled through as other debris
passing through the unit will pull or slide snagged
debris through. If significant debris is causing the
unit to clog, occasional maintenance and cleaning
may be required.
If required, debris should be carefully removed
from the manifold and be wiped clean from any
scum buildup on the outside of the pipes that
may contribute to preventing debris from passing
through the unit.

WINTER CONDITION RECOMMENDATIONS
For locations where there may be public access or recreation such as ice fishing, snowmobile traffic,
or other activities on the water body during winter,
Ixom strongly recommends removing the AP
Unit from the water body or, at minimum, turning the unit off
in the late fall before freeze up. If
the unit isn't removed, but is at least turned off, the area around the unit would then freeze in solid as
the rest of the lake does, decreasing the chance of a serious accident near the machine.
If these recommendations are not followed, the AP Unit will cause thin ice several meters
around the vicinity, creating a very large hazardous area.
