Diffuser Installation
The effectiveness of the Robust-Aire® Diffuser is dependent on where the diffusers are placed in the pond. Place the
Robust-Aire® Diffusers equally from each other at a depth that represents most of the pond. Please contact Kasco
with any questions on placement or system operation.
CAUTION: Do not use boats that tip easily for installation (i.e. a canoe). Wearing a personal floatation device
is recommended.
1.
It is recommended to use a buoy for each diffuser to mark the area that it is placed.
2.
Unroll the SureSink™ Aeration Tubing on shore to remove any twists or knots. Performance will decrease if
the tube is not properly uncoiled.
3.
Each tubing length is 100 feet. If more than 1 length of tubing is required to reach diffuser location, connect
any additional tubes according to the SureSink™ Tube instructions. Unroll these tubes as you did with the
first tube. Multiple rolls of tubes can be loaded into a boat and connected as needed while making your way
to the proposed diffuser location. You can also connect any number of 100’ lengths together and have
someone assist in feeding it from shore. The excess tubing can then be cut off at shore before connecting to
the compressor.
4.
Drop loose end of the tubing near the compressor cabinet. Allow a few extra feet of tubing to work with so
the tube will reach the cabinet after trenching between the shore and the compressor.
5.
Drive the boat in reverse to avoid damaging the boat prop and slowly make your way to the marking buoy
placing the tubing as you go.
6.
Once you reach the marked buoy, thread a rope through the two holes of the diffuser base. Pull through
until the rope is at the midway point by the diffuser base.
7.
While holding the two ends of the rope, gently lower the diffuser assembly into the water.
8.
Continue lowering the assembly slowly until it reaches the bottom of the pond.
9.
The Robust-Aire
®
Diffuser should now be seated properly on the bottom of the pond. Remove rope by
pulling on one end (
Optional: For ease of future maintenance, it is recommended to leave rope looped
through diffuser base and tie both ends to marker-buoy or duck decoy. This will allow diffusers to be located
easily and pulled up for maintenance).
10.
Repeat the process for additional Robust-Aire
®
Diffuser locations.
