FAQs
Is the JBL ProAir a600 suitable for saltwater aquariums?
Yes, it is designed for use in both freshwater and saltwater aquarium environments.
Can I use this pump for a 100 litre tank?
The a600 is optimized for 200-800 litre tanks; it may provide too much aeration for a 100 litre setup unless you use valves to restrict the output significantly.
Do I need to buy extra check valves?
No, the package includes two check valves which is sufficient for the two available air outlets.
How often should I clean the air stones?
You should check them during your monthly tank maintenance; if you notice a decrease in bubble size or pressure, it is time to clean them.
Is the air output electronically adjustable?
Yes, the device features individual electronic adjustment for both air outlets.
Troubleshooting
Pump is making louder noise than expected
Check that the pump is not touching tank glass or loose furniture which could amplify vibration. Ensure the rubber feet are properly seated.
Reduced airflow from air stones
Inspect air stones for calcium deposits or debris and clean or replace them. Check for kinks in the 2m airline tubing.
Water backing up into the hose
Verify that the check valves are installed in the correct direction and are not blocked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Placement: Place the unit above the water line or use the included check valves if the pump is positioned below the water surface to prevent back-siphoning.
- Installation: Attach the 2m air hose to the dual outlets, connect the check valves, and attach the air stones to the terminal ends.
- Mounting: Use the integral hanging hook to secure the pump to a wall if shelf space is limited.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the air stones for mineral buildup and replace them if air bubbles become restricted. Wipe the exterior housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth; do not submerge the unit in water.
