Adding oxygen or pond aeration into a fish pond is very important for fish health, particularly in densely stocked koi fish ponds and in the summer months when oxygen levels decline. Fish will become visibly more active in an oxygen-rich pond.

SPARE PARTS  - We warehouse replaceable diaphragms, valves, board washers & linear magnet frames to ensure long term reliability.

The Resun Air Pump LP60 delivers with low noise a maximum air output of 4200L/hr (70 litres per minute), which is suitable for the vast majority of fish and koi ponds. It must be housed to be protected from dust ingestion. Dust will prematurely wear the rubber valves & diaphragms.

Installation hints:

• Do not install any brand of air pump of this size in the lounge room unless you like a continuous low noise hum whilst watching TV. Place the pump in a non-habitable room, or outside, and then plumb air line tubing to the tank diffusers.
• To increase the life of the rubber diaphragms, the unit must have back pressure. See details below.

Also used for: Air lift water pumping & aeration, Biocycle, envirocycle & ecocycle ddeep water aerobic septic tank aeration, Natural swimming pond or pool aeration, Aquaculture pond aeration, Commercial and industrial water aeration, Bubble baths

FEATURES

• Max pressure: 37kPa (5.35PSI)
• Max air output: 4200L/hr (70 Litres/minute)
• Air pump outlet diameter: 20mm
• Must be set-up above the water level
• Important: Rated IPX4 (meaning - Should be placed in a low dust environment but will tolerate rain and light sprinkling)
• Maximum water depth for placed airstones or air diffuser: 3.5m
• Supplied with a plastic 14 outlet manifold to suit 4mm silicon air line. Block off outlets not used with a squirt of silicone sealer into the outlet
• Air Pump dimensions: 245mm(L) x 205mm(W) x 210mm(H)
• Weight: Air Pump, 5.45kg. Cartoned pump: 6.3kg

SPARE PARTS

• Rubber Diaphragm. Good preventative maintenance practice is to replace the 2 x diaphragms at least every 18 months.
• Rubber Non-return Flapper Valve
• Linear Magnet Frame

WARRANTY: 2 year warranty (Motor only) - excludes rubber diaphragms & valves

PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid premature or unexpected failure of the rubber diaphragms and valves:

• As preventive maintenance, the industry standard would require that all linear electromagnetic air pumps running 24/7 should be dismantled, air jet cleaned & have the diaphragms & valves replaced every 18 months or 12,000 hours
• The pump must only be used in a dust free environment.
• For maximum diaphragm life, the pump must always be run with a back pressure load of approx 15 - 20kPa. This would give a noticeably sweeter sound to the pump hum. Do not use for long periods with unrestricted air flow. This will stretch the diaphragms to cause premature tearing or distortion. Back pressure is created by having the air diffusers or air stones deep in the water or if not possible, a flow control tap fitted into the air line.
