OWNERS MANUAL
Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
Caution should be used when dealing with any electrical equipment with moving parts.
Extreme caution should be used around water, especially cold water, such as in Spring, Fall,
and Winter, which poses a hazard in and of itself.
Running the system in freezing conditions may create open areas of water in the ice at the
diffuser locations and thin ice around the area.
Check your local laws and ordinances as some areas require warning signs to be posted. The
owner will assume all risks with operating the Robust-Aire System during winter months.
Do not use waders in deep ponds/lakes or ponds/lakes with drop-offs, drastic slopes, or soft
bottom material.
Do not use boats that tip easily for installation, such as a canoe, and follow all boating safety
rules and regulations, including wearing a PFD. (Personal Flotation Device)
Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with local and
national wiring rules.
Consult a qualified electrician for electrical installation.
Diffuser Assembly Installation
The effectiveness of the Robust-Aire® Diffuser is greatly dependent on where the diffusers are in the pond.
Therefore, proper placement is key. Space the Robust-Aire® Diffusers equally from each other in a depth that
embodies the majority of the pond. Please contact Kasco Marine if there are any questions on placement.
CAUTION: Do not use boats that tip easily for installation, such as a canoe, and follow all boating safety rules and
regulations, including wearing a PFD. (Personal Flotation Device)
1. It is recommended to place a buoy for each diffuser to mark the area that it is to be placed.
2. Unroll the SureSink™ Aeration Tubing on shore to remove any twists or knots. The performance will
decrease if the tube is not properly uncoiled.
3. If you anticipate running out of tubing (each tube is 100’) before reaching the buoy, connect any additional
tubes according to the SureSink™ Tube instructions. Make sure to unroll these tubes as you did with the
first tube. If you are unsure how many rolls of tubes will be needed to reach the diffuser location, you can
load the unconnected diffuser assemblies and tubing kits into the boat and connect as needed while making
your way to the marked buoy. You can also connect an ample number of 100’ lengths together and have
someone assist feeding it from shore. The excess tubing can be cut off at shore before connecting to the
compressor lead.
4. Tie off shore end of the SureSink™ Tubing by the compressor cabinet. Make sure you have a few extra feet
of tubing to work with so that the tube will reach the cabinet after trenching the tube between the shore and
the compressor.
5. Assembled Diffuser(s) can be loaded onto the boat. Possible additional tubing kits and assembly tools
should be loaded on the boat if not already connected.
6. Make sure the boat is in reverse to avoid damaging the boat prop and slowly make your way to the marking
buoy pulling the tubing as you go.
