Connect Air Tubing and Unreel

What happens here

Connect the non-weighted air tubing to the aeration pump system using a press-fit connection. Make sure to create a 'drip loop' to prevent water from tracking directly into the pump system. If necessary, a hose clamp can be added for extra security. Unreel the non-weighted tubing along the edge of the pond. Then, connect the non-weighted tubing to the weighted air tubing using a barbed connector and secure it with two stainless steel hose clamps tightened with a screwdriver. Emphasize that this is not a high-pressure system, so extreme tightening is not required, just enough to prevent separation.

Goal: Establish air flow from the pump to the aerator and position the tubing.
