How do I choose the right air pump for my aquarium?

Refer to the chart above and select the model that matches your tank size and oxygenation needs.

Why is a check valve recommended?

Install the check valve in the correct direction as shown in the installation video. It helps ensure proper airflow and prevents water from flowing back into the air pump during power interruptions.

How can I maintain optimal performance?

Regularly check the air hose for blockages, bends, or air leaks. To maintain consistent bubble output, clean the air stone periodically with a soft brush to remove debris and buildup.

How can I minimize vibration noise?

Ensure the air pump is placed on a stable surface. Using a vibration-damping pad can help reduce resonance and noise. Also check that the air hose and air stone are free from blockages.

What should I do if the air pump does not work?

Check that the power connection is secure and verify that the check valve is installed correctly. Make sure the air hose is not blocked or bent. If the issue persists, try replacing the air stone.
