EasyPro PA6SWN Use and care manual

Thank you for your purchase of an EasyPro shallow water 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. 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 up to seven feet deep for PA6SWN and eight
feet deep for PA8SWN.
Each aeration system is powered by a quiet, continuous duty compressor and includes tubing, air diuser
and parts to assemble.
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.
• Avoid using extension cords to operate compressor.
• 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.
• Use extreme caution when operating in winter. Danger due to thin ice can cause drowning. Unseen
currents can cause thin ice in areas long distances away from diuser operation. Provide adequate
warning for others using a pond with a diused aeration system.
• Always wear a Coast Guard approved life vest when working in or near water and follow all safety
guidelines.
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.

PA6SWN PA8SWN

General Instructions
Do not expose the compressor to excessive weathering or to high moisture concentration. While the
compressors are weather resistant, it is still advised that you shelter your compressor from the elements to
maximize life of unit. Be sure enough venting is available to allow proper air circulation. DO NOT place your
compressor in low spots or any place water may puddle. Flooded compressors are not covered under warranty.
1. Place compressor on level surface above the water level.
2. Place compressor in shaded area that is free from excessive dust or moisture.
3. Assemble the diusers by threading rubber membrane diusers into provided PVC assembly. Use zip
ties to secure diuser/PVC assembly to plastic underlay. (See included instructions for more detail on
assembly and installation of self-weighted diusers)
4. Attach Quick Sink tubing to barbed outlet of diuser assembly and secure with hose clamp and tubing
with strain relief clamps.
5. Unroll the tubing and install diuser into pond. This will allow you to trim tubing to length at the
compressor. Lower diusers in the pond where circulation is maximized.
6. Connect the rubber elbow to the compressor with pinch clamps or hose clamps.
7. Connect the end of airline to outlet of the compressor and secure with provided hose clamp.
For PA8SWN with a manifold system, connect the manifold to the compressor, then the ends of airline
runs to manifold system and secure with provided hose clamps.
8. Plug compressor into 120v AC GFCI protected outlet.

*Compressors may perform in slightly deeper water, but this is the recommended maximum depth. With deeper water
and longer tubing runs the rubber diaphragms will wear out sooner and require replacement more frequently as a wear
item. For longer tubing runs an increase in the diameter of the tubing may be necessary to be sure the overall maximum
pressure of the compressor is not surpassed.

Diuser Assembly
Use only supplied short section of
tubing to connect compressor to
splitter. Do not use longer tubing.

Operation
• Compressors are designed for continuous operation. The typical maintenance required is replacement of
the diaphragms when needed. All compressors have oil-less motors. Never oil or lubricate the motors.
• Because it can take hours for maximum circulation to be achieved it is recommended to run these
systems continuously.
• If you are installing this system at a time when your pond is already stratied (warm on the surface, cold
on bottom) you should be careful when rst starting the aeration system. If stagnant water on the pond
bottom is stirred up too fast, a temporary increase in oxygen demand will occur and, in rare cases, a sh
kill could result. If your pond is severely stratied, you should only run your system one to two hours the
rst day. Each day after that increase then run time by one to two hours during the rst week and run
continuously after that. This will slowly mix the bottom water without a sudden depletion of oxygen.
Winter Operation
If operated in the winter time there are a few considerations to make.
• You must clearly mark with warnings that there is open water or thin ice. Many states will require this by
law.
• Be sure the tubing is buried leading into the pond. If not, ice can form around the tubing, kinking it or
possibly shearing it o. This is rare but has occurred.
• It becomes critical to protect the compressor from excess snow and water entering the compressor
from the bottom due to ooding or melting snow. A cabinet or shelter is recommended. Be sure that
adequate air ventilation is provided or compressor will fail prematurely.
• If lines become frozen, rubbing alcohol can be run down the frozen line to thaw it out.
Maintenance
1. Always unplug unit before service, cleaning or any maintenance.
2. Over time the compressors may need to have the diaphragms replaced. See chart below for compressor
repair kits.
3. If not operated in the winter, disconnect the compressor, cover ends of tubing and store compressor out
of the elements.
4. Diusers may need regular cleaning in certain water conditions. This may be every two to ve years.
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.
• Inspect compressor diaphragms. Replace as necessary. (See compressor manual for more details)
