Setup Guide
Package Contents
- Air Pump Unit (Model AC-AUS21)
- Air Tubing
- Check Valve
- Air Stone
Installation Steps
- Placement: Place the air pump unit on a stable, dry surface above the water level of your aquarium, pond, or hydroponics system. This prevents water from siphoning back into the pump.
- Connect Tubing and Air Stone: Attach one end of the air tubing to the outlet nozzle of the air pump. Connect the other end of the tubing to the air stone.
- Install Check Valve: Cut the air tubing a few inches from the air pump and insert the check valve, ensuring the arrow on the valve points towards the air stone (away from the pump). This prevents water backflow.
- Submerge Air Stone: Place the air stone at the desired location within your water tank. Ensure it is fully submerged.
- Power Connection: Plug the air pump's power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

Operation
Adjusting Airflow
The air pump features an adjustable turn dial on its front panel, allowing you to precisely control the air pressure and volume. Rotate the dial to increase or decrease the airflow according to your specific aeration needs. The dial provides full control from 0 to 100, enabling optimal oxygen levels for various applications.
Quiet Operation
This air pump is designed with a heavy-duty shell and an internal muffler to significantly dampen noise. This allows for continuous, ultra-quiet operation, making it suitable for indoor environments without causing disturbance.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, periodically clean the air pump and its components. Disconnect the power before cleaning. Wipe the exterior of the pump with a soft, damp cloth. Clean the air stone regularly to prevent clogging, which can reduce airflow. Rinse tubing if necessary to remove any buildup.
General Care
- Ensure the air pump is always placed above the water level to prevent water from entering the unit.
- Regularly check the air tubing for kinks or blockages that could restrict airflow.
- Avoid placing the pump in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
