General Instructions
All of the other compressors have weather resistant housing, but we strongly suggest
that you protect them from the elements in some way.
1. Place compressor on level surface above the water level.
2. Compressor should be protected and housed from the elements. Do not place
compressor in low spots where water may puddle. Place compressor in shaded area
that is free from excessive dust or moisture, yet properly ventilated.
3. Connect the rubber elbow to the compressor with pinch clamps. See pictures below
for connecting manifold to compressor on LA1 through LA4 kits.
4. Connect the one end of airline to outlet of the compressor and secure with provided
hose clamp. If kit has a manifold system, connect the manifold to the compressor
and then ends of airline runs to manifold system, the secure with provided hose
clamps. Do not use tubing to connect compressor to manifold (will be too restrictive).
5. Connect other end of tubing to diffuser(s) and secure with provided hose clamps.
The LA15W has a tee that the two diffusers are screwed into and tubing connects to
the barbed male adaptor which is installed in the short side of the tee.
6. Place diffuser(s) in pond in desired locations for best aeration.
7. Plug compressor into 120v AC GFCI protected outlet.
