Tech Specs:
1. Place the cabinet on the ground in the selected location and mark
an area 6” wider than the base of the cabinet on all sides.
*Ponds greater than 21’ will require a Deep Water Kit
2. Move the cabinet and remove the sod from the area, filling in with
small stone or gravel. This allows for a firm base for the cabinet and
for drainage. Open the aeration cabinet by unscrewing the 4 lobed
thumb screws. Gently lift the cabinet lid and lay on its side next to
the base.
3. Place the cabinet onto the stone base and use your level to make
sure the cabinet is sitting secure and level.

If a power source is available near the pond’s
shore, locate the cabinet at the pond’s edge for
quicker installation.
• Locate cabinet on a solid surface with adequate strength for the weight of the unit.
• Locate cabinet away from irrigation sprinklers.
• Cabinet must always remain above the high water mark.
Ý Attention: For airline that runs longer than 100’, connector kits are required (sold separately). See Page 9.
If a power source is not available near the pond’s
shore or you would prefer to install the cabinet
in another location, install Direct Burial Airline(s)
(sold separately) from the cabinet’s location to
the pond’s edge.
Use a single airline from cabinet to shoreline
with valves at pond’s edge.
