How the Hailea ACO-2206 – 4 Outlet Budget Air Pump works:
The Hailea ACO-2206 is a budget four output air pump for pumping air through airlines and into submerged airstones or for driving aqua farms/water farms. Air is taken in on the underside of the unit and an oscillating diaphragm pushes the air through the four output nozzles on the front of the unit. The air-pressure produced is good for the size of the unit and is very steady. Decent construction and special rubber feet on the unit reduce noise to a low level and power consumption is also very low at only 8 watts.
Using the Hailea ACO-2206 – 4 Outlet Budget Air Pump:
Place your air pump close to your reservoir on a flat, firm surface which is above the water level of the reservoir that you wish to aerate. Connect your air lines onto the output nozzles, sliding them over the ridges until they are held on firmly. If it is difficult to push the air-lines on, softening the end of the air-lines in warm water may make the job a lot easier. Fit your chosen airstones onto the other end of the air-lines and place them into the reservoir. It is best to try to keep the air-lines as short as possible because the air pressure will be reduced the longer it is. Plug the air pump into a mains outlet socket and switch it on. The air pump will now pull air in from the underside of the unit and push it out through the nozzles, down the air line and out through the airstone.
Always place your air pump at a height above the level of the water-line in the reservoir. If your air pumps are at a height lower than the water-line and there is an unexpected power-cut or trip-out, water can siphon back from the reservoir into the air pump which will almost certainly cause it damage. We recommend the use of check-valves (one-way or non-return valve) in the air-line as well to make doubly sure that back-siphoning cannot occur.
