AIRFLOW RECOMMENDATIONS

Single 9" head (MDB11) handles airflow 0.9 - 4.2 cfm / 25 - 120 lpm. Recommended for 25 lpm - 80 lpm air pumps.

Double 9" head (MDB12 or MDB22) handles airflow 2.1 - 8.4 cfm / 60 - 240 lpm. Recommended for 100 lpm - 200 lpm air pumps. This configuration will give a slightly smaller bubble size for a more gentle roll at the surface of pond.

Customer Question:

How do I fill the Base with sand or gravel?

Matala Answer:

You need to unscrew the diffuser. Unplug the black plug covering the hole.


Customer Question:

Shouldn't this come with a check valve in the hose fitting?

I didn't receive one...

Matala Answer:

Sorry, there is a check valve built into the disc itself. It isn’t accessible, so some customers don’t know it is there.We don’t have numbers on how effective the built in check valve is, but we haven’t had any issues with customers burning up pumps due to water in the tubing.
