FAQs
Can I use this pump in a tank larger than 120 litres?
While it may provide some aeration in larger tanks, the output is specifically calibrated for 40-120 litres; for larger setups, consider the JBL ProAir a100.
Does the pump need to be submerged?
No, this pump is designed for external use only and must be kept dry.
How long is the warranty?
The JBL ProAir a60 is backed by a 4-year guarantee for long-term reliability.
Why is the check valve important?
The check valve prevents aquarium water from siphoning back into the pump in the event of a power failure or if the pump is placed below the water level.
What is the noise level of this pump?
It operates at less than 39dBA, making it suitable for quiet environments.
Troubleshooting
Airflow is significantly reduced
Check the air stone for mineral build-up or blockages and replace it if it appears saturated or clogged.
Pump is vibrating or making excessive noise
Ensure the device is placed on a flat, non-resonant surface and that the rubber feet are not obstructed.
Water is moving back into the hose
Immediately verify the orientation and integrity of the check valve and ensure the pump is positioned above the water line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your ProAir a60, begin by identifying a stable location above the maximum water level of your aquarium. Use the integrated hanging hook if mounting to a wall or stand to reduce potential resonance. Connect the air hose to the pump's outlet using the safety screw connection, then install the check valve between the pump and the air stone, ensuring the flow direction is oriented toward the aquarium. For maintenance, periodically inspect the air stone for clogging—a sign of decreased bubble output—and replace it if necessary to maintain back-pressure levels. Keep the exterior housing free of dust to allow for proper heat dissipation.
