HIBLOW XP60 Low Wattage Air Pump

HIBLOW XP60 Low Wattage Air Pump

Energy efficient HIBLOW XP air pump for koi ponds and biological filters

HIBLOW XP60 Low Wattage Air Pump is a 60 LPM low wattage linear diaphragm air pump designed for pond aeration, koi pond oxygenation, air stones, diffuser discs and aerated filter chambers. The XP range is a useful choice where you want the reliability of a HIBLOW air pump but with lower power consumption than a traditional equivalent output model.

Good pond aeration is not only about adding bubbles to the water. A correctly sized air pump helps increase dissolved oxygen, supports biological filter bacteria, keeps moving bed media active and gives fish extra support during warm weather, heavy feeding or periods of poor water quality. This makes the XP60 suitable for pond keepers who want dependable continuous airflow without unnecessary running costs.

The XP60 uses HIBLOW’s proven diaphragm pump design, giving clean, oil-free airflow with low vibration and quiet operation. It is well suited to garden ponds, koi ponds, biological filters, septic style aeration duties and general oxygenation applications, provided the pump is installed correctly and matched to the depth and number of diffusers being used.

Installation and sizing guidance

For best results, place the air pump in a dry, well ventilated and weather protected location. It is normally better to position the pump above the pond water level. If the pump is lower than the water level, fit suitable non-return valves to reduce the risk of water running back down the airline and damaging the pump.

• Use the correct diameter airline for the airflow being produced.
• Use an air manifold if the pump is feeding more than one diffuser.
• Avoid excessive back pressure from blocked stones, restricted airline or deep installations.
• Check and clean inlet filters as part of routine maintenance.
• Do not allow the pump to sit where it can flood, overheat or draw in dirt.

As a general guide, larger diffuser discs and deeper ponds need more airflow and pressure than shallow air stones. If several outlets are being used, balance the airflow through a manifold rather than forcing all of the output through one small stone.
