Thank you for your purchase!
This aeration system will be a great benefit to the aquatic ecosystem in which
you are placing it. Please read through the following guidelines completely
before installation and operation of your aeration system.
Safety Warnings
•
Use extreme caution when operating in winter. Danger due to thin ice can
cause drowning. Unseen currents can cause thin ice in areas long distances
away from diffuser operation. Provide adequate warning for others using a
pond with a diffused aeration system.
•
The surface of the compressor will be hot during operation. This is normal
— be careful not to touch the compressor while it is running.
•
Units must be connected to GFCI protected outlets.
•
Avoid using extension cords to operate compressor.
•
Keep children or pets away from operating units
•
Always disconnect power when servicing system.
•
Relieve pressure from system before servicing.
Operation
•
All of our compressors are designed for continuous operation. It is not
uncommon for these compressors to run 24 hours per day for three to five
years. The only maintenance required is replacement of wearable items
(diaphram, piston ring, vanes, etc.) when needed and keeping filter clean.
CAUTION:
All compressors in these kits are designed for oil-free opera-
tion. Never oil or lubricate the compressors.
•
In addition to adding oxygen to your pond, an aeration system creates a
circulation action. It takes hours for the maximum effect to be achieved,
therefore we recommend running these systems continuously so that maxi-
mum circulation is sustained.
Summer Time Start Up
CAUTION:
If you are installing this system at a time when your pond
is already stratified (warm on surface, cold on bottom), you should be
careful when first starting the aeration system. If the stagnant water on the pond
bottom is stirred up too fast, a temporary increase in oxygen demand will occur
and, in rare cases, a fish kill could result. If your pond is severely stratified, you
should only run your system one to two hours the first day. Each day after that,
increase the run time by one to two hours during the first week, run continuously
after that. This will slowly mix the bottom water without a sudden depletion of
oxygen.
