How to Use / Instructions
Initial Setup: Attach a standard 4mm airline tube (sold separately) to the air outlet of the pump and connect the other end to your air stone or sponge filter.
Placement Safety: Position the air pump above the water level of the aquarium to prevent water from siphoning back into the unit if the power fails.
Backflow Prevention: If the pump must be located below the water line, a check valve (non-return valve) must be installed in the airline for safety.
Troubleshooting: If you notice a drop in air output, check for kinks in the tubing or a clogged air stone. Replacing the air stone every few months helps maintain optimal motor health.
Safety Warning: Never submerge the air pump in water. Always use a drip loop on the power cord to prevent moisture from traveling down the cable into the electrical socket.
