Important!

Connection

Connect the pump to the solar panel as shown .

Slightly twist the connectors when pushing together,

ensure the red sealing ring remains in it’s groove

and is not displaced.

0°C/32°F

Freezing water can cause damage to the air stones. The whole product

MUST be removed and stored in a frost proof environment if the water is

likely to freeze.

Performance

As stated previously performance is directly related to the strength of sunlight received. In bright sunlight

the pump will work well and produce lots of air bubbles. If the sun is partially covered or the sun is not so

bright the quantity of air bubbles will reduce. In cloudy conditions or at night the pump will not work and no

bubbles will be produced.

Operation

This air pump can be used to oxygenate any pond or water reservoir providing the solar panel receives

direct sunlight. Oxygen depletion mainly occurs during summer months, as water gets hotter it’s ability to

hold oxygen is reduced. The pump is ideal for providing supplementary oxygenation when it is needed

most as it’s performance is directly related to the amount and strength of sunlight received. The solar

panel converts sunlight into electricity which is then used to power the pump. Air is pumped down the

tubing and is released into the water through the porous air stones. If a cloud covers the sun the amount of

electricity produced will reduce and the pump will stop working or slow down. The pump will speed up or

restart as the sun reappears from behind the cloud.

To keep the air stones at a fixed level under water you can use the anchor sack provided. Tie one end of

the line around the air stones and the other end of the line to the bag catch. Fill the bag with stones and

then feed the top of the bag through the catch and close it. Simply drop the bag into your pond or reservoir

and let it sink to the bottom taking the air stones with it. The depth of the air stones can be altered by

changing the length of the line.

Note: If the air stones are too deep they may not be able to release the air due to the higher water

pressure. If this is the case simply alter the line length so that the stones are closer to the surface.

Maintenance Oxygenator We recommend that you regularly carry out maintenance to ensure optimum performance of your fountain. Assembly Regularly clean the solar panel using water or glass cleaner in conjunction with a non abrasive sponge or cloth. If the air stones or tubing become blocked clean and rinse them through with water. Problem Solving 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Check the solar panel is positioned correctly, receiving sunlight and not in shade.
