Setup & Safety Guidelines

To ensure the longest possible lifespan for your Sobo air pump, please follow these standard safety practices:

1. Placement: Always place the air pump on a dry surface above the water level of the aquarium.

2. Use a Check Valve: If you must place the pump below the water line (such as inside a cabinet), you must install a non-return check valve on your airline tubing. This prevents water from siphoning backward into the transparent casing during a power outage, which would ruin the motor.

3. Maintenance: Regularly check and replace your air stones. A clogged air stone creates back-pressure that can wear out the internal rubber diaphragms prematurely.
