How to repair an air pump or aeration system for a sewage treatment plant or pond?

These air pumps make it possible to increase the level of oxygen present in the water and to improve the work of bacteria in a pond. You also eliminate anaerobic bacteria.

There are three types of air pump on the market:

• Cast air pumps (not possible to repair them).
• Diaphragm air pumps (the best known are the SECOH).
• Piston air pumps (the best known are the NITTO).

How to easily repair an air pump?

There are plenty of manufacturer videos on youtube to repair your air pump yourself. The easiest to repair are diaphragm pumps.

Your membrane is torn? Your valve no longer works? We advise you to replace all the membranes and valves of the pump because in general, the first tearing of a part is the sign of wear of the pump. At the risk of damaging the magnet (the most expensive part), we advise you to carry out the maintenance of your air pump or the repair.

For piston pumps, it's the same principle but you will have to be more careful when replacing the piston (very expensive part) not to damage it. Are you hesitating? Contact us to receive the video to repair your NITTO or SECOH air pump yourself.
