Diaphragm Cartridge Replacement
Rubber diaphragms are a wearable part that will need servicing over time. Moisture, heat and
dust will all shorten the life of the diaphragms. If a noticeable decrease in output is evident, a
simple diaphragm cartridge change will renew the performance of the air pump. Please follow
the steps below when installing replacement diaphragm cartridge(s). Please note: The TA400
requires one replace cartridge while the TA800 requires two.
Unplug the air pumps and remove the four screws on the bottom of air pump housing. Remove
the top cover taking care not to damage/ misplace the outer gasket and four O-rings that
seal the housing at the screw connections. Remove the three screws and the bracket that hold
the diaphragm cartridge in place. Unplug the outlet hose and remove the diaphragm cartridge.
Discard and install the new cartridge.
