FAQs

How does the AirStorm Venturi work?

The AirStorm Venturi uses the venturi effect to draw air into the water as it flows through the unit, thereby increasing oxygen levels.

Does the AirStorm Venturi require electricity?

No, the AirStorm Venturi operates without electricity. It utilizes the flow of water to create the venturi effect.

What kind of maintenance does the AirStorm Venturi require?

Minimal maintenance is needed. Regular inspection and cleaning of the nozzles and air intake are recommended to remove any blockages.

What is the benefit of the interchangeable nozzles?

The interchangeable nozzles allow you to optimize aeration based on your pump's flow rate, ensuring the best performance.

Can I use the AirStorm Venturi in a gravity-fed pond?

No, the AirStorm Venturi is only designed for use in pumped water systems and will not work in a gravity-fed setup.

How often should I clean the AirStorm Venturi?

It depends on your pond conditions, but it's advisable to check and clean the venturi every few weeks or whenever you notice a reduction in aeration.

What are the signs that my AirStorm Venturi is not working correctly?

Reduced aeration, no visible air bubbles, or restricted water flow are signs that the venturi might not be functioning properly.

Troubleshooting

Reduced aeration or no air bubbles visible.

Check for blockages in the nozzles or air intake. Clean the venturi unit. Ensure the unit is properly connected and that the pump is running effectively.

Venturi not fitting properly in the pipe.

Ensure you are using the correct size of the demountable coupling and that it is correctly attached to the pipe.
