Filters that have not had water circulating through them for the winter should be cleaned well before turning the pump back on this spring. Cleaning will remove toxins that can develop from waste breaking down in the filter in the absence of oxygen. Once your filter is up and running, seed it with beneficial bacteria.
Our Air Tube Diffusers are designed to be a drop in system. The rubber membrane is wrapped around a hollow PVC tube. It is negatively bouyant but you may also add small stones to the inner tube to increase weight so it stays put on the bottom of your pond or lake. The air holes in our tubes are a little larger than other brands so you get a medium size bubble which does not clog and puts very little back pressure on your system. This gives you a very low maintenance and effective aeration system.
To clean, simply wipe with a rag and clean water occasionally.
