Winter Application; General Maintenance; Troubleshooting; Replacement Parts - AquaScape Pro Air 60 Operating Instructions & Maintenance Manual

Winter Application

• The aeration compressor can be used during winter months where bubbles and water
movement created at the surface help to maintain a small opening in the ice for
oxygenation. DO NOT place diffusers on the bottom of the pond during winter, as it may
disrupt the natural thermocline found in the deeper portions of the pond where the fish are
overwintering. Place the diffuser about 1 to 1.5 feet below the surface of the water.

General Maintenance

• The inlet sponge filter should be checked annually or if the compressor makes any abnor-
mal noises. If operating the unit in dusty conditions, you will need to check it more frequent-
ly. The filter is easily inspected by gently popping off the top plastic compressor cover. The
sponge filter and lid can be rinsed in clean water and thoroughly dried before replacing.
• The compressor components can be completely replaced, as needed, to maximize
functionality. Use the Pro Air Inlet Sponge Filters (#61005) and Pro Air 60 Replacement
Diaphragm (#61007) to refresh the compressor.
• Winter care: the Pro Air 60 can be operated through freezing winters. If not running the
compressor through the winter, it is recommended to cover the compressor or store it in a
frost-free location.

Troubleshooting

• Reduced or no air flow
– Make sure the check valve is oriented in the proper open direction by verifying that air is able to flow freely through the
tubing toward the diffuser
– Make sure tubing is not kinked or restricted
 Should a kinked tube or dirty membrane significantly block air flow, shut down the compressor immediately to prevent
overheating
– Check the air inlet sponge filter for clogging and clean or replace if necessary
– Compressor not working
 The GFCI may have tripped
 The compressor is not receiving the correct voltage
