· Pump must be above water level in the pond and on a horizontal surface.
· Elevate air pump a few inches off the ground to keep moisture from coming in contact w/ the pump.
· Do not allow pump to be exposed to the elements. It is highly recommended to use a vented cover, such as an artificial rock or irrigation valve box, to protect the pump.
· If using multiple diffusers, ensure diffusers are evenly distributed throughout the pond. Also, make sure air flow to each diffuser is regulated by a valve. Adjust these valves to balance the air flow to each diffuser.
Ensure that valves balance air flow between diffusers and avoid restricting
overall air flow from the pump.
· The pump will automatically operate when plugged in. Pump must be plugged into an oulet with a proper ground. If your outlet has no ground, contact an electrician to properly ground the unit. Also, pump must be plugged into an outlet protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interupter (GFCI or GFI).
