Intended Use

The AquaOxy unit is intended for aeration and supplying oxygen to garden ponds. During winter months, it can be used to keep the pond surface ice-free.

! Important! The unit is equipped with a permanent magnet. The magnetic field may affect the function of pacemakers.

Use other than that intended can be dangerous and cause harm. Any use not in accordance with these instructions or modification(s) to the unit will void the limited warranty.

Installation

• Place the AquaOxy Air Pump on a stable, level surface, above the water level in your pond.
• Connect one end of each of the included air hoses to the outlets on the AquaOxy Air Pump and connect the other ends to each of the air stones.
• Place the air stones in the pond at a minimum depth of 12 inches (30 cm) and a maximum depth of 7 feet (2.1 m).
• In areas with cold weather, position the air stones in a shallow area to allow fish to congregate in the calmer lower levels.
