Tools Required: Tube Cutter or Utility Knife 5/16” Nut Driver or Flathead Screwdriver

1Dig the Airline Trench
Dig a trench from the aeration cabinet to the edge of the pond. This trench should be at least 8” deep to protect the airline.

2Place and Connect Airline in the Trench
Place a single run of 1” Direct Burial or PVC Pipe (sold separately) in the trench from the cabinet location to the pond’s edge.

3Connect Airline to the
Compressor Manifold
Attention: If you are installing a Deep Water Kit with your system, you will need to install the kit before proceeding.

Shallow Water Series™, Shallow Water HP Series™ & PondSeries™ Aeration Systems: Connect the corresponding fittings for either 1-inch Direct Burial or PVC Pipe and connect to one flex tube coming from the compressor manifold.

|
---|---
LakeSeries™ Aeration Systems: Use the provided manifold to connect one female Cam-lock end from each compressor to the male Cam-lock end on the manifold and lock it into place. Connect the manifold to the 1” Direct Burial or PVC Pipe.|

Be sure the valves on the compressor are open for the flex tubes that have been installed and turn the remaining valves
to the closed position.

4Install the Junction Valve Box
Select a location in line with the trench, near the pond’s edge, and place the Junction Valve Box with the single outside pointing to the compressor and the multi-outlet side pointing towards the pond. Using a shovel mark an area slightly larger than the Junction Valve Box. Dig the hole to a depth of 8”. Place the Junction Valve Box into the hole.

5Connect the Remote Manifold to Direct
Burial or PVC Pipe Place the Remote Manifold into the Junction Valve Box. Attach the corresponding fitting for either 1” Direct Burial or PVC Pipe to the Remote Manifold and connect the airline.

6Connect the Remote Manifold to the Diffuser Airline
For each port on the Remote Manifold, attach the corresponding fittings to the ball valves depending on the size of a weighted airline being used with your diffusers. Feed the weighted airline for each diffuser into the Junction Valve Box and connect it to the Remote Manifold, securing it with a hose clamp.

7Level and Backfill the Junction Valve Box
Check to be sure the Junction Valve Box is level and flush with the ground’s surface, then backfill around the Junction Valve Box.

8Fill the Junction Valve Box with Gravel
You may choose to fill the Junction Valve Box with small stone or gravel up to the outlet holes. This will help with drainage and keep the Remote Manifold clean.

9Start the Aeration System and Adjust Airflow
Start the aeration system and adjust the airflow using the ball valves at the Remote Manifold.

Note: Diffusers placed farther away or in deeper water will require more airflow. It may take several minutes for changes in airflow to appear at the diffusers.

10 Backfill Trench and Close Junction Valve Box
Installation is complete. Backfill the airline trench and place the lid on the Junction Valve Box.
