Setting Up the Air Pump

For a typical aquarium aeration setup, you may require:

• Aquarium airline tubing
• Air stone or compatible air-driven accessory
• Check valve
• Airline control valve if airflow adjustment is required

Connect the airline securely between the air pump and your chosen aquarium accessory.

If using a check valve, ensure it is installed in the correct airflow direction, with air travelling from the pump towards the aquarium.

Positioning & Safety

Where possible, position the air pump above the aquarium's water level. This helps reduce the risk of aquarium water siphoning backwards through the airline if the pump stops.

If the pump must be positioned below water level, install a suitable aquarium check valve in the airline.

For safe operation:

• Keep the air pump and power connection dry
• Position the pump on a stable surface
• Ensure ventilation around the pump is not obstructed
• Use a drip loop in the electrical cable
• Keep the pump away from areas where it may be splashed
• Disconnect power before performing maintenance
• Do not operate equipment with a damaged cable, plug or housing

Airflow & Aquarium Use

The amount of aeration required will depend on the aquarium size, stocking level and equipment being operated.

The DT800 may be used for applications such as:

• Air stones
• Sponge filters
• Aquarium ornaments requiring air
• Increasing surface agitation
• Improving general aquarium aeration

Always confirm that the DT800 provides suitable airflow for the particular aquarium size and accessory being used.

Care & Maintenance

Regularly inspect the airline, air stone and connected accessories to ensure airflow remains unrestricted.

Air stones can gradually become blocked and may require cleaning or replacement. Airline tubing should also be replaced if it becomes brittle, cracked or damaged.

Keep the air pump clean and free from excessive dust while ensuring ventilation openings remain unobstructed.
