Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Connect the hose to the air pump.
- Attach the air stones to the other end of the hose.
- Place the air stones at the bottom of your pond.
- Position the air pump above ground, ensuring it is protected from rain and moisture.
- Plug the pump into a power outlet.
Compatibility
The Hozelock Air Pump is compatible with most small to medium-sized garden ponds. Ensure the pond depth does not exceed 1.2 meters. The pump is designed for use with the included air stones and hose.
Care
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the air filter regularly to maintain optimal performance. Consult the user manual for instructions.
- Air Stone Replacement: Replace air stones periodically to ensure efficient oxygen diffusion.
- Winter Storage: In winter, you may want to keep the pump running, to prevent the pond from freezing over. However, in extremely cold conditions, consider bringing the pump indoors.
- Check Hoses: Inspect the hose for any kinks or blockages.
- Diaphragm Replacement: Replace the diaphragm of the air pump if needed. Follow the instructions in the manual for the model of the pump.
