Setup Instructions

Unpack: Carefully remove the air pump from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.

Connect Air Tubing: Connect standard aquarium air tubing (not included) to the dual air outlets on the pump. You can connect two separate air stones or filters, or use a 'T' connector for a single air stone.
Connect Air Stones/Accessories: Attach your desired air stones, sponge filters, or other air-driven accessories (not included) to the other end of the air tubing and place them in your aquarium.
Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable AC 110-120V, 60Hz power outlet.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your boxtech K2 Air Pump.

Clean Air Intake Filter: Periodically check and clean the bottom air intake filter to prevent the accumulation of dust and debris. A clogged filter can reduce airflow and strain the pump. Gently remove the filter cover and clean the filter material with clean water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
Inspect Air Tubing and Air Stones: Regularly check air tubing for kinks or blockages and air stones for clogs. Replace if necessary to maintain optimal bubble production.
General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the pump with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
