6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your air pump.

1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the pump from the power outlet before performing any maintenance.

3. Inspect Air Lines and Air Stones: Regularly check airline tubing for kinks, blockages, or damage. Clean or replace air stones as they can become clogged over time, reducing aeration efficiency.
4. External Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the pump with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
5. Diaphragm Replacement: Over extended periods of use, the internal diaphragms may wear out. If air output significantly decreases despite cleaning, the diaphragms may need replacement. Refer to JECOD's official support for replacement parts and instructions.
