Product Features
- Unique Shark-Shaped Design: The pump features an aesthetically pleasing shark-shaped exterior, adding a decorative element to your aquarium setup.
- Dual Air Outlets: Equipped with two standard 3/16" air outlets, capable of producing up to 300 LPH airflow, suitable for providing ample oxygen to your aquarium or fish pond. A T-connector is included for single-outlet use if desired.
- Ultra-Quiet Operation: Designed with a double-layer casing, where the outer shark-shaped shell covers the internal pump. This design effectively prevents motor noise from propagating. Additionally, eight soft rubber feet absorb vibrations, further reducing operational noise to below 35dB.
- Adjustable Airflow: The air pump allows for easy adjustment of airflow from 1 to 5 liters per minute using a control knob located at the rear. This feature enables customization of air output to suit different tank sizes and oxygenation requirements.
- Comprehensive Accessory Kit: Comes with all necessary accessories for immediate setup, including air tubing, air stones, check valves, suction cups, a T-connector, and a spare air filter sponge.

Setup Instructions
- Placement: Position the air pump above the water level of your aquarium to prevent water backflow in case of a power outage. If placing below water level, ensure check valves are properly installed.
- Connect Air Tubing: Attach one end of the air tubing to each air outlet on the pump.
- Install Check Valves: Cut the air tubing and insert a check valve into each line. Ensure the check valve is oriented correctly (airflow direction is usually indicated by an arrow on the valve) to allow air to flow towards the aquarium but prevent water from flowing back to the pump.
- Attach Air Stones: Connect the other end of the air tubing (after the check valve) to the air stones.
- Position Air Stones: Place the air stones at the desired location within your aquarium. Use the provided suction cups to secure the air tubing along the tank walls if necessary.
- Optional T-Connector: If only one air outlet is needed, use the T-connector to combine the two air lines into one, or simply cap one outlet if not in use.
- Power Connection: Plug the air pump into a suitable power outlet (220-240V/50Hz).
Operating Instructions
- Power On: Once connected to power, the pump will start operating.
- Adjust Airflow: Locate the adjustment knob on the rear of the pump. Turn the knob clockwise to increase airflow and counter-clockwise to decrease airflow. Adjust to achieve the desired bubble intensity and oxygenation for your aquarium.
- Monitoring: Observe the air bubbles in your aquarium to ensure consistent and adequate oxygenation.

Maintenance
- Air Stone Cleaning: Over time, air stones can become clogged with algae or mineral deposits, reducing airflow. Clean them regularly by soaking in a diluted bleach solution (rinse thoroughly before re-use) or replacing them.
- Air Filter Sponge Replacement: The air filter sponge prevents dust and debris from entering the pump. Check it periodically and replace it when it appears dirty or clogged. A spare sponge is included.
- Tubing Inspection: Regularly inspect air tubing for kinks, cracks, or blockages. Replace damaged tubing to maintain optimal airflow.
- Pump Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the pump with a damp cloth to remove dust. Ensure the pump is unplugged before cleaning. Do not submerge the pump in water.
