While you can use standard aquarium air line, longer lines may slightly reduce the output pressure of the pump.
Troubleshooting

Check the air line for kinks or blockages and ensure the air stone is not clogged with debris.
Increased noise level
Verify that the pump is sitting on a flat, stable surface and that the air line is not vibrating against hard objects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your AquaOxy 250 is straightforward. Ensure the pump is installed in a dry, ventilated area, ideally housed in a pump box or protected location to extend its lifespan. Because the unit is not submersible, it must always be placed above the water line, or utilize a non-return valve if placement below the water line is necessary. For maintenance, clean the air stone regularly to prevent clogging from algae or mineral deposits. The kit comes with a replacement set of diaphragms; inspect these periodically for wear and replace them if airflow decreases. Keeping the unit away from direct, standing water puddles will ensure the UV-stabilised casing performs as intended for many years.
