The airstone connects to the 2022 AquaOxy systems and provides aeration to pond water that helps keep fish and water overall healthy. Once connected the AquaOxy, the stones can be placed in a pond or aquarium where the air pump circulates the oxygen around it and drives it through the pump and out through the porous stone base of the Air Stone, creating fine aeration air bubbles that provide essential oxygen. The aerator bars connect to the AquaOxy with the provided 5m of airline tubing. They are also supplied with a threaded airline connected that accepts any airline of 8mm/10mm internal diameter. Each airstone is made of highly durable ceramic materials from Oase a trusted brand in Pond equipment. Specifications: Model: Aerator Bar Small. Dimensions (HxWxD): 200 x 60 x 60mm. Includes: 5m of airline tubing, 8/10mm airline connector. Fits: AquaOxy 1000 and 2500 (2022 Models only). The secret of perfect oxygen supply in fish waters or even swimming ponds? The oxygen must flow into the air in a fine perling manner. Small air bubbles rise more slowly in the pond than large ones and thus cause a more intensive transfer of air oxygen into the pond water. Aerator rods work a little more subtly than aerator rings. A rod produces a more or less lush air bead, a ring produces the greatest possible oxygen input. The AquaOxy aerator rod S (190 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm) works effectively, but is comparatively discreet. It is suitable for connection to AN OASIS AquaOxy 1000 or TO AN OASIS AquaOxy 2500.

FAQs
Which Oase AquaOxy models is this aerator bar compatible with?
This Oase Aerator Bar - Small is exclusively compatible with the Oase AquaOxy 1000 and Oase AquaOxy 2500 models from the 2022 production year.
How do I connect the airline tubing?
The aerator bar comes with a threaded airline connector that accepts 8mm/10mm internal diameter tubing. Simply push the airline tubing firmly onto the connector. The other end connects to your Oase AquaOxy pump's air outlet.
What is the main benefit of using an aerator bar?
The primary benefit is increasing dissolved oxygen levels in pond or aquarium water, which is crucial for the health of fish and beneficial bacteria, and helps prevent stagnant water conditions.
How often should I clean the aerator bar?
It is recommended to inspect the aerator bar periodically and clean it when you notice reduced bubbling or visible debris. Typically, this might be every few months, depending on water conditions.
Can I use this with a pump other than the Oase AquaOxy?
While the connector may fit other airlines, the aerator is specifically designed and optimized for use with the Oase AquaOxy 1000 and 2500 (2022 models). Performance with other pumps is not guaranteed.
Does the aerator bar come with the pump?
No, the Oase Aerator Bar - Small is an accessory and is sold separately from the Oase AquaOxy air pump.
What are the dimensions of the Small Aerator Bar?
The dimensions are approximately 200mm (Height) x 60mm (Width) x 60mm (Depth).
Troubleshooting
No bubbles are coming from the aerator bar.
Check that the AquaOxy pump is switched on and functioning. Ensure the airline tubing is securely connected to both the pump and the aerator bar. Verify there are no kinks or blockages in the airline tubing. Confirm the aerator bar is compatible with your AquaOxy model.
Weak or inconsistent bubbling.
The aerator bar may be partially blocked. Disconnect and clean the ceramic surface gently with a brush. Check the airline for any obstructions. Ensure the connected AquaOxy pump is performing adequately.
Aerator bar is not staying in place.
The aerator bar is designed to rest on the bottom or be weighted. If it floats or moves excessively, consider using aquarium-safe weights or securing it gently to a rock or other feature in the pond/aquarium.
