INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE
See video instructions of the PondAir maintenace
online crystalclearpond.com/pondair
Warning: Before performing any maintenance or cleaning, always unplug
the compressor from the power source.
Compressor Diaphragm
Over time the compressor diaphragm can become worn. This will greatly reduce
the air output of the unit. We recommend replacing the diaphragm every 6-12
months. See REPLACEMENT PARTS below for diaphragm kits.
Air Stones
Through normal use, the air stones will eventually become clogged with
buildup and debris. Periodically clean air stones throughout the season. We
recommend replacing the air stones every season for maximum performance. See
REPLACEMENT PARTS below for replacement air stones.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have loss of airflow, check the following:
• Check to make sure the airflow regulator on top of the compressor has not been
turned down.
• Check air filter for excessive dust and debris and clean.
• Check the airline for signs of leaks or clogging.
• Check the airline for kinks restricting airflow.
• Check air stones for excessive buildup and clean or replace.
• If the above has been checked and airflow is still reduced, it may be time to
replace your diaphragm.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Please read these instructions thoroughly before use. Failure to follow
instructions may result in equipment damage or failure, losses, injury or death.
DANGER
To avoid possible electric shock:
• If the power cord has been damaged, DO NOT operate.
• After installation, the compressor should be examined to be certain that there is no water on parts
not intended to be wet.
• If the compressor falls into the water, DO NOT reach for it. First unplug and then retrieve it.
• If the compressor shows signs of any water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.
• Close supervision is necessary when the unit is used by or near children.
Warning
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
• Connect only to a properly grounded receptacle, which is serviced by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter.
• Always unplug compressor from power source when it is not in use, and before installing, removing
or servicing the compressor or system components.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord may overheat
if the cord is rated for less amperes or watts than the unit rating.
• This compressor has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
Caution
To reduce the risk of equipment damage or failure:
• Do not place compressor near flammable or other dangerous materials or objects.
• Compressor is not submersible; do not place compressor where it might contact or fall into the
water.
• Do not place compressor in direct sunshine.
• Use only to pump air.
• Place compressor horizontally and make sure compressor is above the height of the water surface
to prevent water from siphoning out of the pond.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

online crystalclearpond.com/pondair
Step 1
PLACE the PondAir compressor in a shaded area on a stable, level
surface, above the water level in your pond. This area should be
free from excessive dust and moisture.
Step 2
CONNECT one end of each included airline to the outlets on the
PondAir compressor and unroll airline and extend towards the
pond’s edge, ensuring the line is not twisted or kinked.
Step 3
CUT approximately 8 inches off the end of each airline and
set aside.
Step 4
INSTALL a check valve onto the end of each airline coming from
the compressor. Be sure the direction of the arrow on the check
valve is pointing to the air stone. Next, connect the 8” sections
of airline to the exposed end of the check valve and finish by
connecting the air stones to the airline.
Step 5
PLUG the compressor into a standard 120-volt GFCI protected
outlet and position air stones evenly around your pond to provide
ideal aeration and circulation.
Note
Air stones have a maximum depth of 2 feet. You will want to leave the additional airline coiled up
next to compressor in case air stones need adjustment in the future. Air stones should be moved to
shallow areas of the pond for the winter months. This allows fish to congregate in a
calm area at the bottom of the pond.
To protect the PondAir compressor from the outside elements,
cover with a Mini TrueRock™ Boulder Cover (Item #510403).
