Thank you for your purchase!
This aeration system will be a great benet to the aquatic ecosystem in which
you are placing it. Please read though the following guidelines completely before
installation and operation of your aeration system.
Safety Warnings
• Use extreme caution when operating in winter. Danger due to thin ice can
cause drowning. Unseen currents can cause thin ice in areas long distances
away from diuser operation. Provide adequate warning for others using a
pond with a diused aeration system.
• The surface of the compressor will be hot during operation. This is normal —
be careful not to touch the compressor while it is running.
• Units must be connected to GFCI protected outlets.
• Avoid using extension cords to operate compressor.
• Keep children or pets away from operating units
• Always disconnect power when servicing system.
• Relieve pressure from system before servicing.
Operation
• All of our compressors are designed for continuous operation. It is not uncom-
mon for these compressors to run 24 hours per day for three to ve years. The
only maintenance required is replacement of wearable items (diaphram, piston
ring, vanes, etc.) when needed and keeping lter clean.
CAUTION: All compressors in these kits are designed for oil-free opera-
tion. Never oil or lubricate the compressors.
• In addition to adding oxygen to your pond, an aeration system creates a circu-
lation action. It takes hours for the maximum eect to be achieved, therefore
we recommend running these systems continuously so that maximum circula-
tion is sustained.
Summer Time Start Up
CAUTION: If you are installing this system at a time when your pond
is already stratied (warm on surface, cold on bottom), you should be
careful when rst starting the aeration system. If the stagnant water on the pond
bottom is stirred up too fast, a temporary increase in oxygen demand will occur
and, in rare cases, a sh kill could result. If your pond is severely stratied, you
should only run your system one to two hours the rst day. Each day after that,
increase the run time by one to two hours during the rst week, run continuously
after that. This will slowly mix the bottom water without a sudden depletion of
oxygen.

Installation Precautions
• The air diuser should not be placed in the deepest part of the pond. Try to
locate the diuser at approximately
2
/
3
to
3
/
4
of the deepest point (a 15' deep
pond would have the diuser at approximately 10' to 12' deep). This allows
the deepest water to remain cool in the summer and stay warm in the winter.
• If you purchased your aeration system without weighted tubing, you will need
to supply small weights such as chimney bricks, pipe or rerod. Strap the
weights securely around the tubing to bring it to the bottom.
• If your pond freezes during the winter, be sure the tubing is buried leading
into the pond. If not, the ice can form around the tubing, kinking it or possibly
shearing it o.
CAUTION: Locate all utilities before digging to ensure safety of installer
and others.

Compressor Placement
It is critical that the air compressors be protected from the weather. You will
need to provide a shelter for your compressor to protect it from rain, snow and
other harsh elements.
• Be sure your shelter is adequately ventilated.
• Be sure the compressor does not sit directly on the ground, as the vibration
from the motor will cause dust and dirt particles to be pulled into the motor
and may cause premature failure.
• If operating compressor in freezing climates do not place compressor in
“heated” buildings. Warm air holds more moisture. This warm air may conden-
sate and freeze in the colder outdoor line.
• Ensure that compressors are placed where they will not become ooded with
water.
• If possible, shaded areas are preferred.
• In areas with limited electrical supply, com-
pressors can be placed long distances from
the pond edge. A remote access valve as-
sembly can be fed from the compressor with
properly sized tubing.
Cabinet Placement
• If installing a Sentinel Deluxe Aeration System, place the cabinet on a level,
unobstructed base to ensure the compressor does not overheat.
• A post mounted cabinet should be kept free from high weeds and other ob-
structions.
Diuser Placement
The amount of surface area an aeration system will eectively cover is greatly
dependent on two factors - DEPTH and SHAPE. The deeper an air diuser is
located, the more boiling action it will create and a larger area will be aerated.
The diagram below shows how much surface area is eectively aerated per
air diuser at various depths. Ponds that are irregular or odd shaped will also
reduce size of aeration area — call our technical department for additional help.
Example:
Our PA34 pond aerator
would aerate only 1
/8
of an acre if operated
in 4' deep water, while
aerating up to 1 acre
if operating in 12' - 16'
deep water.
The shape of a pond aects
the amount of diusers
needed. Irregular shaped
ponds often require multiple
diusers to adequately aerate
entire water column.

General Assembly Instructions
1. Unpack the aeration system to ensure all parts were received. If a shortage
occurs, please notify EasyPro immediately.
2. Assemble diusers, detailed instructions included with each diuser assembly.
NOTE: Video walkthrough of diuser assembly and installation found at:
easypropondproducts.com/diuser-assembly

tubing.
Cut barbed tting here
for 1/2" I.D. tubing
Check valve shown
here, do not remove.
4. Remove plug on the top of the base
and ll about half full (3 to 5 lbs.) with
sand, rock or gravel.
2. Slip hose clamp over barbed check
valve and push tubing tightly onto
the tting.
3. Use washer on both sides of base.
Insert bolt and tighten nut to clamp
down tubing and provide strain relief.
General Assembly Continued
3. Unroll the entire roll of tubing. It is recommended that the pond diuser be
installed at this point. This will allow you to trim any unused tubing before at-
taching to the compressor outlet assembly.
4. Connect the valved outlet assembly to the compressor. Once tubing is in
place and trimmed, attach the other end of the tubing to the exible hose on
the compressor.
5. Open the valves on the outlet assembly to their full open position. Plug the
compressor into a GFCI outlet and adjust each valve to equal the air ow to
each diuser. This corrects the dierence in air ow caused by a dierence in
operating depth and/or tubing lengths.

Maintenance Guidelines
• Keep your compressor clean. Any excess dust and debris on motor or air
intake may signicantly shorten the life of the compressor.
• Diusers may need regular cleaning in certain water conditions. This may be
every two to ve years.
• Compressors may need to be rebuilt if running but no longer “pumping air.”
Contact your EasyPro dealer for compressor rebuild kits.
• If lines become frozen, a small amount of denatured alcohol can be run down
the frozen line to thaw it out. The small amount of alcohol will not harm sh or
biological processes in your pond.
After one or two years of operation, you will possibly notice a sudden drop in air
bubbles. This is a sign the compressor needs new piston cup or vanes. Rebuild
kits are available to restore like-new performance. Be sure to keep the air lter
clean. Filters can be washed in soapy water. Replacement lters are available.
