Maintains optimum air pump performance. Troubleshooting Tips: If the air pump fails to produce air, check the following: Ensure that the air pump is plugged in. Ensure that there are no blockages in the air hose assembly and that all valves allow air passage.
If no air is produced by the accessories in the aquarium, remove the air line from the pump and ensure that air is being produced. If the air pump produces no output, the most common problem encountered with any air pump is a ripped or weakened diaphragm. Remove airline.
Unplug appliance. Inspect the diaphragm for tears or rips. Any opening in the diaphragm will make it impossible for the pump to produce air for aeration purposes.
Always inspect the diaphragm first before replacing other parts in the pump.
