FAQs
Can I use the AirPump 150 indoors?
While technically possible, it is designed for outdoor pond environments and may be louder than preferred for indoor use.
Does this pump come with airlines and air stones?
No, the AirPump 150 is supplied as a standalone unit and requires separate airline tubing and air stones.
How often should I replace the diaphragms?
Diaphragm lifespan varies based on load, but it is recommended to inspect them annually for signs of wear or cracking.
Is the pump completely waterproof?
The pump is weather-resistant for outdoor use, but it should be placed in a ventilated, dry area or under a cover to protect it from extreme weather.
Why is my pump making a rattling sound?
A rattling sound usually indicates that the unit is not sitting flat or that there is debris near the intake; ensure the pump is stable and clean.
Troubleshooting
Reduced airflow output
Check the air intake filter for dust and debris and clean it thoroughly.
Excessive noise or vibration
Ensure the pump is sitting on a level surface and check that the rubber feet are not damaged or missing.
Pump shuts down unexpectedly
The thermal protection may have triggered due to overheating; check for obstructions in the airline or low air backpressure and allow the unit to cool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the AirPump 150, connect high-quality airline tubing to the outlet and ensure it is secured with stainless steel clips. Always install a non-return check valve in the airline to protect the pump from water backflow. For maintenance, clean the air intake filter regularly—typically every three to six months—to prevent airflow restriction. Avoid placing the pump in direct sunlight or areas prone to heavy water spray. During the winter, check the airlines for condensation buildup to ensure the pump does not struggle against ice blockages.
