2. System Installation - Continued
ENGLISH
2. Place airline into the trench from the aeration cabinet to the pond’s edge.
Option A:
Use EasySet™ weighted airline. There must be a separate run of airline for each
diffuser that will be installed. Leave remaining airline coiled at the pond’s edge.
Option B:
Use Direct Burial airline. There must be a separate run of airline for each diffuser that
will be installed. Join multiple sections of direct burial airline using 5/8” connector kits.
First, slide two hose clamps onto one section of airline. Next insert the 5/8” insert
adaptor half way into one section of airline and then insert into next the section of
airline. Using a flathead screw driver, secure one of the hose clamps onto each half of
the insert adaptor (see image on the left).
Option B with Remote Manifold: Use 1” Direct Burial Airline or PVC
Pipe. Only 1 run of airline is required from the cabinet location to the pond’s edge.
See Remote Manifold Kit Manual or watch the installation video at
airmaxeco.com/RemoteManifold for more information.
Attention: For ponds deeper than 21’ deep, a Deep Water
Kit (Sold Separately) must be installed before continuing
with installation.
Option A & B:
(this step is not required if a Deep Water Kit is installed)
Slide a hose clamp onto the airline and insert a 3/4” MPT to 3/8 (or 5/8”) Insert
Reducer to into the airline, securing with a hose clamp. Next, hand tighten to one of
the quick disconnect flex tubes coming from the compressor manifold. Repeat for
each diffuser line.
Option B with Remote Manifold:
Refer to the Remote Manifold Kit Manual or watch the installation video at
airmaxeco.com/RemoteManifold for more information.
Backfill the airline trench in a few areas to temporarily keep the airline in place until
installation is complete.
STEP THREE: Excavate Trench and Place Airline(s)
STEP FOUR: Connect Airline(s) to the Compressor Manifold
STEP FIVE: Partially Backfill Airline Trench
1. Using your shovel, dig a trench from the cabinet to the pond’s edge. This trench
should be a minimum depth of 8” to protect the airline. We recommend having utility
lines marked before you begin digging.
