The airstone connects to the 2022 AquaOxy systems and provides aeration to pond water that helps keep fish and water overall healthy. Once connected to the AquaOxy, the stones can be placed in a pond or aquarium where the air pump circulates the oxygen around it and drives it through the pump and out through the porous stone base of the Air Stone, creating fine aeration air bubbles that provide essential oxygen. The aerator bars connect to the AquaOxy with the provided 5m of airline tubing. They are also supplied with a threaded airline connector that accepts any airline of 8mm/10mm internal diameter. Each airstone is made of highly durable ceramic materials from Oase, a trusted brand in Pond equipment. Specifications: Model: Aerator Bar Large. Dimensions (HxWxD): 300 x 60 x 60mm. Includes: 5m of airline tubing, 8/10mm airline connector. Fits: AquaOxy 5000 and 7500 (2022 Models only).

Troubleshooting
No bubbles are being produced.
Ensure the Oase AquaOxy air pump is plugged in and switched on. Check that all airline connections are secure and that the tubing is not kinked. Verify that the Aerator Bar is compatible with your AquaOxy model and that the pump is functioning correctly.
Weak or inconsistent bubble stream.
The porous ceramic surface may be clogged. Remove the Aerator Bar and gently clean it with a soft brush and plain water. Ensure the airline tubing is clear of obstructions.
Aerator Bar is not fitting the airline tubing.
Confirm you are using the included threaded airline connector. This connector is designed for 8mm/10mm internal diameter airline tubing. Ensure you are not trying to force incompatible tubing.
