The air inlet sponge filters on the Aquascape Pro Air 20 and Pro Air 60 help prevent dust, dirt, and airborne debris from entering the compressor. Keeping the filters clean helps maintain proper airflow and compressor performance.
How do I access and clean the air filter?
- Unplug the compressor before performing maintenance.
- Locate the air filter cover on the top of the compressor.
- Remove the air filter cover to access the sponge filter.
- Remove the sponge filter.
- Rinse the sponge filter with clean water to remove dust and debris.
- Allow the filter to dry thoroughly before reinstalling it.
- Reinstall the sponge filter and filter cover.
How often should I check the filter?
Inspect the air inlet sponge filter at least once a year and more frequently if the compressor operates in a dusty or debris-prone environment.
If compressor airflow decreases or the unit begins making unusual noises, inspect the filter as part of troubleshooting.
When should I replace the air filter?
Replace the sponge filter if it is damaged, deteriorated, or cannot be cleaned effectively.
The replacement Pond Aerator PRO Air Inlet Sponge, Item #61005, is supplied as a package of three.
