Tubing Divider and Diffuser Discs Connection.
Diffuser Discs are used to increase the oxygen levels in the water. The organic waste at the
bottom of the pond is broken down by bacteria, though the oxygen is also needed in the
process. Thanks to diffused air aeration , the oxygen transfer can take place. Dissolved
oxygen ends up in the water in every part of the pond creating a healthy water environment.
One or more discs can be connected to the pump after creating an air divider. Ensure all
tubing is tightly secured when installing your OX-Gen Aeration System.
Note: Avoid Sharp bends when laying out your weighted tubing with diffuser discs attached.
Discs will work effectively down to 10 feet.
Old or dirty diffuser discs will reduce aeration capacity. Make sure to follow maintenance
procedures periodically to prevent build-up from pump's airway.
Ensure that the pump can discharge air at all times when powered on or it will heat up
leading to damage. Any damages due to not following instructions will void the warranty.
Never place pump in water. To guarantee a long service life, it is necessary to install the
pump under dry conditions free of moisture and dust. If pump becomes dirty, it can cause a
short service life. To extend the service life of your pump, it is critical to follow maintenance
procedures periodically.
Please note a temperature above 104° F can cause the diaphragm in your pump to fail.
Start-up
