Electrical Safety
• Electrical wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all
applicable safety regulations. Incorrect wiring can lead to pump malfunction, electrical
shock or fire.
• Air Pumps must be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Air Pumps must be plugged into a standard, properly grounded, three pronged outlet.
Safety Instructions
• If the pump falls into the water, do not reach for it. First unplug the air pump or disconnect
the power supply and then retrieve the pump. Let a qualified technician inspect the pump if
immersion occurs.
• Do not lift, lower or handle the pump by pulling on the electrical cord. Make sure the
electrical cable does not become excessively bent or twisted and does not rub against a
structure in a way that might damage it.
• The submersible pump should not be used if the electrical supply cable is damaged in
any way. If a cable with damaged insulation is submerged in water, there is danger of

placed in a secure area away from the water’s edge.
water seeping into the pump motor and causing a short. Altering the electrical cable in any
way will void the warranty.
Installation
Pump Placement
The following factors must be considered when choosing a location for the air pump.
• Typhoon Air Pumps feature weather-proof aluminum housings for outdoor use. However,
installation in a dry, well-ventilated area will further prolong the service life of the air pump.
• Typhoon Air Pumps must be placed on a flat, stable surface above the water level of
the pond.
• Proper ventilation is critical for heat dissipation and operation. Never cover the air pump
unless adequate airflow to the pump is provided.
• Tubing must always be run on a downward slope away from the air pump to avoid
condensation damage.
Air Pump Connections
Typhoon Air pumps will accept multiple sizes of tubing. Please refer to the chart on page 2 for
acceptable tubing diameters for these Air Pumps. Using large diameter tubing and avoiding
sharp bends will improve performance of this air pump after installation.
• Multiple air stones can be connected to the pump outlet by adding a 2-way air splitter.
Use new and sufficiently large air stones with enough discharge capacity. Air stones that are
too small, old, worn out or placed too deep will reduce the output capacity. Place air stones no
deeper than 7’ (TA1800) and 11’ (TA3600) below the surface of the water. Avoid kinks and tight
turns in the tubing run and take care to never fully close off the pump outlet. Ensure that the
pump can discharge sufficient air at all times, otherwise the pump will overheat leading to
diaphragm and compressor failure. Please note that an ambient temperature above 110° F can
cause the diaphragm to overheat and crack.
