5. Installatie-instructies
- Luchtslang aansluiten: Attach the provided air tube(s) to the air outlet(s) on the top of the pump. For the 8W model, use the regulating valve to split the airflow to two air stones.
- Install Check Valve(s): If the air pump is installed below the water level of your aquarium, a check valve is essential to prevent water from siphoning back into the pump during a power outage. Connect the check valve(s) in-line with the air tube(s), ensuring the arrow on the valve points towards the aquarium.
- Attach Air Stone(s): Connect the air tube(s) to the air stone(s). Place the air stone(s) at the desired location within your aquarium.
- Plaats de pomp: Place the air pump on a stable, flat surface. The soft silicone feet will help reduce vibration and noise. Ensure the pump is positioned above the water level if not using a check valve.
- Inschakelen: Plug the air pump into a suitable power outlet. The blue indicator light will illuminate, and air will begin to flow.
