Troubleshooting
Airstone is not producing bubbles.
Check the airline for kinks or blockages. Ensure the air pump is turned on and functioning. Clean the airstone to remove any debris.
Bubbles are weak or inconsistent.
Check for any leaks in the airline connections. Clean the airstone to remove any buildup that could be obstructing the pores. Ensure that the air pump is of a suitable size for the pond.
