Air Diaphragm Cartridge Replacement
• The Aquascape Pond Air uses an Air Diaphragm Cartridge
that can be easily replaced in the event of wear or tear. If
you notice that your Pond Air Pump is losing air pressure, it
may be time to replace the Air Diaphragm Cartridge. The
inexpensive and easy-to-replace cartridges ensure that the
Aquascape Pond Air will provide you with years of trouble-
free service.
• Always unplug pump before inspecting or servicing.
• Remove screws located
at the bottom of the
Air Pump and remove
pump cover.
• Remove the Air Diaphragm Cartridge (1-cartridge on the
Pond Air 2 and 2-cartridges on the Pond Air 4) by removing
the screws securing the cartridge to the base of the pump.
• Reinstall the pump cover and secure back into place
with screws.
NOtE: On the Pond Air 2 model – Installing the
cover of the pump will press the Air Diaphragm
Cartridge into its final seated position.
Winterization Application
• The Pond Air can be used during the winter months, where
bubbles and water movement created at the surface help
to maintain a small opening in the ice for oxygenation.
Do not place the Aeration Discs on the bottom of the pond
during the winter, as it may disrupt the natural thermocline
found in the deeper portions of the pond where the fish are
overwintering. Instead, place the Aeration Discs about
1 to 1 ½ feet below the surface of the water.
• Install the new Air Diaphragm Cartridge and secure it back
into place with the screws. Pond Air 4 only – Re-attach the
air cartridge tubing.
