Turning the knob clockwise increases the air flow and counter-clockwise reduces the air flow. Proper air flow control reduces harmful back pressure and lengthens the service life of the pump. Q.5 and Q1 air pumps are not equipped with flow control; in which case an air control valve can be used to regulate air output (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8em; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; animation: 0.7s ease-in-out 0s 1 normal none running fadeInScale;\"\u003eIn order to achieve correct airflow, a balance between the valve setting and the pump output is necessary. The ideal setting is obtained by minimum back pressure or non restriction of flow of air. Never physically restrict the output of the pump. Restriction causes damage to the diaphragm (see BACK PRESSURE section for more information). Adjust air valve output as required. To regulate air volume using an air control valve with multiple outlets, it is recommended to have the last valve available to release excess air pressure build up (see BACK PRESSURE section for more information). In regulating the air pressure, it is best to work from the valve farthest from the input of the air valve. Remember to have the last valve completely closed so as not to lose any air pressure. Proceed to make adjustments on the remaining valves. Once the adjustments are complete, slowly open the last valve to the point where no loss of air output is noticed from the items controlled by the other valves. To achieve and maintain an equal balance of air pressure to the accessories in the aquarium, further adjustments of the air valve may be required depending on the items powered by the air pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8em; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; animation: 0.7s ease-in-out 0s 1 normal none running fadeInScale;\"\u003eNote: If the first valve on the air control assembly is fully opened, air volume to the remaining outlets will\u003cbr\u003ebe reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8em; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; animation: 0.7s ease-in-out 0s 1 normal none running fadeInScale;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: bold; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit;\"\u003eTo alleviate excess air pressure or overproduction of air, it is recommended to open the last valve every 2 weeks or when required.

This occurs when excess air is produced by the air pump, or when the air channels are inadvertently blocked. Back pressure over time resulting from clogged air stones or other air system blockages and restrictions will cause the diaphragm to expand or rupture. An expanded diaphragm leads to a loss of air volume while a rupture results in the total loss of air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8em; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; animation: 0.7s ease-in-out 0s 1 normal none running fadeInScale;\"\u003eTwo complete sets of air stones alternately changed each month will extend the life of the air stones and help keep back pressure to a minimum. Clogged air stones and air-driven aquarium ornaments will lead to low air pressure output and also reduce the life of the diaphragms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FLUVAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44044327387224,"sku":"FDSF","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/8557\/1672\/files\/fluval-q-5-air-pump-37-190l-aquatic-supplies-australia-14044650635311_2048x_2a3d18f6-5536-43a8-84c1-ae709f4dc631.jpg?v=1779081929","url":"https:\/\/bespokeaquariums.com.au\/products\/fluval-q5-air-pump-37-190l-single-outlet-126lh","provider":"Bespoke Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
