FAQs

How often should I replace the diaphragms?

The replacement frequency depends on usage. Typically, diaphragms may need replacement every 1-3 years, or when you notice a significant drop in air output or pump performance.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic tools like a small Phillips head screwdriver are usually sufficient. You may also need a flathead screwdriver for prying if parts are stuck, but use caution.

Can I use this kit on other Evolution Aqua pump models?

No, this kit is specifically designed for the Evolution Aqua Airtech Air Pump model 70. Using it on other models will not work and may cause damage.

What if I accidentally damage a part during installation?

If a part is damaged, you may need to purchase a new pump or see if individual replacement parts are available from the manufacturer.

Is this kit difficult to install?

The installation is considered moderately easy and suitable for DIY maintenance. If you are uncomfortable with small mechanical tasks, seeking assistance might be advisable.

Where can I find instructions for disassembling my pump?

Refer to the original product manual for your Evolution Aqua Airtech Air Pump model 70. Online video tutorials specific to this model can also be very helpful.

Troubleshooting

Pump not producing any air after replacement

Ensure the diaphragms are seated correctly and securely. Double-check that the pump housing is reassembled properly and all connections are tight. Verify the pump is plugged in and the power outlet is functional.

Reduced air output still persists

Confirm that the correct diaphragm kit model was used. Check for any potential blockages in the airline tubing or air stones connected to the pump. Ensure the new diaphragms were installed without any tears or damage.

Pump is making unusual noises

The diaphragms might not be secured tightly, or the pump housing may not be fully reassembled. Re-check all screws and connections. Ensure no foreign objects are inside the pump mechanism.

Air output is uneven or pulsing

This can indicate a slight misalignment of the diaphragms or a partial blockage. Re-seat the diaphragms and check the airline for kinks or obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This kit is exclusively designed for the Evolution Aqua Airtech Air Pump model 70. Ensure your pump model matches before purchase.

Setup:

  1. Safety First: Unplug the air pump from the power source.
  2. Access Diaphragms: Carefully disassemble the pump housing according to the manufacturer's instructions or by referencing online guides for the Airtech 70 model. Typically, this involves removing screws securing the pump head.
  3. Remove Old Diaphragms: Gently detach the worn-out diaphragms from their mounting points.
  4. Install New Diaphragms: Position the new diaphragms correctly, ensuring they are seated properly on their respective mounts. The kit typically includes small screws or clips to secure them.
  5. Reassemble Pump: Carefully reassemble the pump housing, ensuring all parts are aligned and secured.
  6. Test: Plug the pump back in and test its operation.

Care: Diaphragms are wear-and-tear components. While this kit provides replacements, the pump itself should be kept clean and in a well-ventilated area to maximize its lifespan. Avoid exposing the pump to moisture or dust.
