INSTALLATION
1.) Install the compressor in a covered, dry area located by the power source. Position the
compressor on a firm surface away from excessive dust and ensure that it is higher
than the water level of the water garden. If the compressor is below the water level,
the water can siphon back into the compressor if the power is switched off. This may
cause the compressor to fail prematurely.
2.) Unravel the airline and run to the water garden.
3.) Connect one end of the airline to the outlet nozzles on the compressor and the other
end to the blue airstone. The included check valve should be placed closest to the
airstone.
4.) Plug in the air pump.
5.) Move the airstones to a position where they will provide the best aeration and
circulation for the water garden.
NOTE: For best results and to prolong the life of the compressor,
we recommend to cover the compressor with a Small Faux Rock
Cover (Item #510330).
