Assembly Instructions

For optimal system performance and to extend the life of the nutrient solution through increased 

oxygenation, an aerator pump and aerator stones are included. Position stones at the bottom 

of the reservoir opposite the water pump. 

Air pump must remain above nutrient level to prevent 

siphoning.

 

1.  Choose a position for the air pump and use it to determine the length of each air tube. Cut 

two air tubes of equal length using the 110091 tubing and tube cutter.  

 

ATTENTION:

 Position the air pump at a level that is 

above the nutrient level at all times 

to prevent siphoning

 of the reservoir.

2.  Attach one stone to each line and set the stones in the reservoir. See photo for stone 

position opposite the water pump.

3.  Place the reservoir cover on the reservoir and feed the tubing up through the access holes 

and connect the free end of each tube to the air pump.

ATTENTION:

 Always position the air pump 

above

 the nutrient level to 

prevent siphoning of the reservoir.

ATTACH THE AIR PUMP AND AERATOR STONES

Attach 110091 

tube to air stone.

Stone

4.  Place the air pump in the position chosen in Step 1.
5.  Connect the air pump to power and test the operation. Verify that air is filtering through 

each air stone. Monitor the air pump regularly to ensure proper operation of the aerator 

system. 

 

NOTE:

 When the system is fully operational, the air pump will run continuously. 

Do not 

connect the air pump to any circuit controlled by a timer or shutoff switch.

6.  After testing air flow, turn off the aerator pump until the system is fully functional.

ATTENTION:

 Reservoir and lid style shown 

throughout this guide may vary. When needed, 

critical dimensions are noted for hole locations.
