EasyPro Economy and Deluxe Linear Aeration Kits Manual - Printable PDF Version

Thank you for your purchase of an EasyPro koi and ornamental pond aeration system. EasyPro complete aeration systems are designed to be an energy efficient way to aerate, destratify and circulate water in ponds and water gardens. The increase in oxygen levels provided by an aeration system is beneficial to any pond but especially to ponds with fish. These kits are ideal for ponds, aquariums or other small fish holding systems.

Each aeration system is powered by a quiet, continuous duty compressor and includes tubing, air diffuser and parts to assemble.

‘N’ Series systems include linear diaphragm compressors that feature quiet operation, energy efficiency, affordability and solid durability.

‘W’ Series systems include linear piston compressors that feature quiet operation, energy efficiency, deeper water capability and the best durability available.

Safety and Electrical

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. For your protection always unplug the unit from its power source before installing or servicing.

WARNING: This compressor is solely intended to pump air. It is not for use with oil, solvents or any petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, etc.).

• Always use a properly grounded AC outlet. Keep plug end from moisture and do not attempt to plug in a wet plug.
• Provide a “drip loop” for the line cord. This is a loop in the cord below the level of the recep- tacle or plug that prevents water from traveling along the cord into the receptacle.
• Be sure that a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is installed in the branch circuit supplying the aquarium, fountain or pond equipment.
• Unit should be installed horizontally and above the height of water surface.
• Do not submerse compressor. Do not place compressor where it could fall into water.
• Do not operate if power cord is damaged

Note: EasyPro Pond Products is not responsible for losses, injury or death as a result of failure to follow these safety warnings, misuse or abuse of equipment.

General Instructions

All of the other compressors have weather resistant housing, but we strongly suggest that you pro- tect them from the elements in some way.

1. Place compressor on level surface above the water level.

2. Compressor must be protected and housed from the elements. Do not place compressor in low spots where water may puddle. Place compressor in shaded area that is free from excessive dust or moisture.

3. Connect the rubber elbow to the compressor with pinch clamps. See pictures below for con- necting manifold to compressor on LA15N and LA20N kits.

4. Connect the one end of airline to outlet of the compressor and secure with provided hose clamp. If kit has a manifold system, connect the manifold to the compressor and then ends of airline runs to manifold system, the secure with provided hose clamps.

5. Connect other end of tubing to diffuser(s) and secure with provided hose clamps. The LA15W has a tee that the two diffusers are screwed into and tubing connects to the barbed male adap- tor which is installed in the short side of the tee.

6. Place diffuser(s) in pond in desired locations for best aeration.

7. Plug compressor into 120v AC GFCI protected outlet.

Winter operation and deeper ponds

If fish are present in the pond, place the diffuser between the shallowest and deepest portion of your pond. For instance, if the deepest part of your pond is 6' and the shallowest is 1', place diffuser in the 2' - 3' range for wintertime operation. This will prevent the water at the deepest portion from being mixed with colder water.

Maintenance

1. Always unplug unit before service, cleaning or any maintenance.

2. Over time the compressors may need to have the diaphragm or piston replaced. See chart be- low for compressor repair kits.

Troubleshooting

Loss of air output but unit is running:

• Check to make sure the air filter has not been blocked or clogged by dust.
• Check to make sure lines are not kinked or plugged. If used in winter time, line may have ice in the line. A small amount of rubbing alcohol can be run down the air line to thaw the ice.
• Inspect the diffusers to ensure they are clean. Replace or clean as necessary. See chart below for replacement diffusers.
• Inspect diaphragms/pistons. Replace as necessary.
