every month, alternating with an extra set which has been dried over that period and cleaned before
being placed in the aquarium.
Two complete sets of air stones alternately changed each month will extend the life of the air stones and
help keep back pressure to a minimum. Clogged air stones and air-driven aquarium ornaments will lead to
low air pressure output and also reduce the life of the diaphragms.
TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
If the air pump fails to produce air, check the following:
1. Ensure that the air pump is plugged in.
2. Ensure that there are no blockages in the air hose assembly and that all valves allow air passage. If no
air is produced by the accessories in the aquarium, remove the air line from the pump and ensure that
air is being produced.
3. If the air pump produces no output, the most common problem encountered with any air pump is a ripped
or weakened diaphragm. Remove airline. Unplug appliance. Inspect the diaphragm for tears or rips. Any
opening in the diaphragm will make it impossible for the pump to produce air for aeration purposes.
Always inspect the diaphragm first before replacing other parts in the pump.
REMOVING THE PUMP
Important:
Whenever the air pump must be shut off and removed from the aeration system, always take
off the airline before the pump is unplugged. This will prevent water from siphoning back into the pump. If
the airline cannot be removed before unplugging the power cord, raise the pump above the water level.
