Aeration Kit
Instructions for Operation • Safety • Warranty
Thank you for your purchase of an EasyPro koi and ornamental
pond aeration system. EasyPro complete aeration systems are
designed to be an energy ecient way to aerate, de-stratify and
circulate water in ponds and water gardens. The increase in oxygen
levels provided by an aeration system is benecial to any pond
but especially to ponds with sh. These kits are ideal for ponds,
aquariums or other small sh holding systems.
Each aeration system is powered by a quiet, continuous duty
compressor and includes tubing, air diuser and parts to assemble.
LA1 through LA4 Series systems include linear diaphragm
compressors that feature quiet operation, energy eciency,
aordability and solid durability.
LA5W through LA15W Series systems include linear piston
compressors that feature quiet operation, energy eciency, deeper
water capability and the best durability available.
Safety and Electrical
Warning - Risk of electrical shock. For your protection always unplug the unit from
its power source before installing or servicing.
Warning - This compressor is solely intended to pump air. It is not for use with oil,
solvents or any petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, etc.).
• Always use a properly grounded AC outlet. Keep plug end from moisture and do not
attempt to plug in a wet plug.
• Provide a “drip loop” for the line cord. This is a loop in the cord below the level of
the receptacle or plug that prevents water from traveling along the cord into the
receptacle.
• Be sure that a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is installed in the branch circuit
supplying the aquarium, fountain or pond equipment.
• Unit should be installed horizontally and above the height of water surface.
• Do not submerse compressor. Do not place compressor where it could fall into
water.
• Do not operate if power cord is damaged
Note: EasyPro Pond Products is not responsible for losses, injury or death as a result of
failure to follow these safety warnings, misuse or abuse of equipment.

General Instructions
All of the other compressors have weather resistant housing, but we strongly suggest
that you protect them from the elements in some way.
1. Place compressor on level surface above the water level.
2. Compressor should be protected and housed from the elements. Do not place
compressor in low spots where water may puddle. Place compressor in shaded area
that is free from excessive dust or moisture, yet properly ventilated.
3. Connect the rubber elbow to the compressor with pinch clamps. See pictures below
for connecting manifold to compressor on LA1 through LA4 kits.
4. Connect the one end of airline to outlet of the compressor and secure with provided
hose clamp. If kit has a manifold system, connect the manifold to the compressor
and then ends of airline runs to manifold system, the secure with provided hose
clamps. Do not use tubing to connect compressor to manifold (will be too restrictive).
5. Connect other end of tubing to diuser(s) and secure with provided hose clamps.
The LA15W has a tee that the two diusers are screwed into and tubing connects to
the barbed male adaptor which is installed in the short side of the tee.
6. Place diuser(s) in pond in desired locations for best aeration.
7. Plug compressor into 120v AC GFCI protected outlet.

Winter Operation and Deeper Ponds
If sh are present in the pond, place the diuser between the shallowest and deepest portion of your
pond. For instance, if the deepest part of your pond is 6' and the shallowest is 1', place diuser in
the 2' - 3' range for wintertime operation. This will prevent the water at the deepest portion from
being mixed with colder water.
Maintenance
1. Always unplug unit before service, cleaning or any maintenance.
2. Over time the compressors may need to have the diaphragm or piston replaced. See chart
below for compressor repair kits.
Troubleshooting
Loss of air output but unit is running:
• Check to make sure the air lter has not been blocked or clogged by dust.
• Check to make sure lines are not kinked or plugged. If used in winter time, line may have ice in
the line. A small amount of rubbing alcohol can be run down the air line to thaw the ice.
• Inspect the diusers to ensure they are clean. Replace or clean as necessary. See chart below
for replacement diusers.
• Inspect diaphragms/pistons. Replace as necessary.
• Also see compressor manual for more troubleshooting details.

Caution:
• During operation, do not touch the lower housing with bare hands as the temperature will
become about 70ºC (158ºF). (Temperature will not aect the performance of the pump.) Thermal
overload will turn o the compressor when temperature gets too high. Unit will come back on
after it cools down. Causes for excess heat should be determined and eliminated. Common
causes include lack of ventilation and excess back pressure in the system. Remedies for these
causes should be found to avoid over heating of the units.
• Proper sizing and selection of tubing, length of tubing, number of diusers and depth of
diusers are all important factors for maximizing performance. These units are designed to
produce fairly large volumes of air at low pressure. Extra back pressure created by restrictive
tubing, undersized or clogged diusers, incorrect valve systems or deeper water can cause
excess wear and tear on the rubber diaphragms. While replacing the diaphragms is easy to do,
too much back pressure may require more frequent repair.
