4. Installation
The pump should be positioned in a dry place. Care should be taken to ensure that water cannot enter the pump
when, for instance, it is switched off for aquarium maintenance or during a power failure. There are two methods
of installation:
-
above the water level – see Fig. A below
-
below the water level. In this case, a reliable non-return valve must be fitted in the air line – see Fig. B
below.
Ensure that the power plug can easily be reached at any time.

Security advices
The pump is constructed for indoor use only. Before working at the pump, the power plug has to be removed.
The connection cable and the power plug may not be changed. If the power cable is damaged, the pump may
not be used any more.
5. Maintenance/Cleaning
The pump is constructed for long-term low-maintenance operation. The only item requiring regular attention is
the air filter. The air filter is positioned at the top of the pump. This cotton filter has to be changed at regular
intervals dependant on the quality of ambient air. To change the filter, undo the securing screw, remove the
plastic cap, remove the contaminated filter pad, fit a genuine Aqua Medic replacement and replace the cap,
finally replacing the securing screw.
6. Failures
The pump is constructed for long-term low maintenance operation. In case of a decrease in air capacity that is
not remedied by replacing the air filter, it will be necessary to replace the membrane inside the pump.
