Aeration Systems

The air diffuser provides great aeration without blocking views!
The
following are several
different diffused aeration kits. Diffused aeration systems are the best way to
aerate, destratify and create circulation on ponds over 6' deep. Each system has
three basic parts.
-
an air compressor
-
an air hose
-
an air diffuser
The air compressor sits on shore
and pumps air out through the hose to the air diffuser located on the bottom of
the pond. The result is thousands of tiny bubbles rushing out of the diffuser to
the pond surface, creating circulation and providing aeration.
There are several advantages to
using diffused aeration kits instead of surface aerator:
-
Electric motor is on shore,
not in the water
-
Air diffusers lay on the
bottom, ensuring aeration of entire pond from bottom to top, regardless of
depth size
-
With proper sizing, tubing
lengths up to 2000' can be achieved for ponds without electricity nearby
All motors are designed for
continuous duty operation and are oil-less for low maintenance. Periodic
cleaning of air filter and replacement of diaphragm and gasket every few years
is all that is necessary. We can build much larger systems or alter these
kits to fit you specific needs. Please call for assistance. Kits include
everything needed for installation and operation except for tubing weights.
Tubing is buoyant and requires a five pound weight every 6'-8' to sink or use optional
self-weighted tubing.
Fountains vs. Diffused
Aeration - Which is Better?
 Fountains are a popular choice when decorative aerator is desired. Fountains
splash the surface of the pond and help control surface algae and duckweed, but
do not aerate down to the bottom of deep ponds.
Diffused aeration is the best way to aerate deep ponds. Because the air
diffuser lays on the bottom you achieve total pond aeration from top to bottom
regardless of depth.
Air Compressor Kits
1/20 HP DIAPHRAGM AIR COMPRESSOR KIT
for small ponds. This small, continuous duty pump is ideal for aeration of smaller, shallower ponds. 1/20 HP compressor will operate to a depth of 12'. Compressor draws 1.5 amps electricity and pumps .7 CFM of air.

It is crucial to the life of any of our air compressors that
they be protected from the weather as well as dust and dirt. These factors
will significantly reduce the operating life of the compressor. We offer
several covers for outdoor use, or
compressors can be housed in barns, garages or other structures. |

* The deeper an air diffuser is located, the more boiling action
it will create and a larger area will be aerated.
* Because ponds come in all sizes and shapes, one of our standard kits shown
here may not work for your application. Please call with your needs and we can
design a system tailored to your pond.
ROTARY VANE KITS
These rotary vane air compressor kits pump considerably more air than the pumps above. Rotary vane pumps do not operate as deep as the diaphragm and piston pumps — maximum operating depth is 18'. A 3/4 HP high pressure model is available which operates to a depth of 27'. The 1/4 HP model pumps 4.2 CFM of air compared to 1.5 CFM with the 1/4 HP
piston compressor. This larger volume of air will increase circulation
and oxygen levels for faster cleaning of the pond's bottom. The 1/4 HP
rotary vane kit is recommended for ponds from 1 to 2 acres, but often is
used in ponds less than 1 acre if high fish population, exceptionally
poor water conditions or heavy nutrient buildup exists. The 3/4 HP models are recommended for ponds 2 to 4 acres while the 1 HP is used in ponds larger than 3 acres.
1/4 HP HIGH VOLUME ROTARY VANE COMPRESSOR KIT
for ponds 1 acre or larger OR two smaller ponds. Produces 4.2 CFM of air
and draws 5 amps (@115v).
The PA50W replaces the poly tubing with 200' of weighted tubing.
Available in 115v or 230v, so please specify when ordering. All
units shipped 115v unless 230v is requested.

HIGH PRESSURE POND AERATOR
This
rocking piston compressor kit is similar to the 1/4 HP rotary vane kit above (PA50), only this unit is capable of much greater operating depth. While the rotary vane unit above will operate to a depth of 18', this compressor will pump air over 40' deep!
Ideal for deep water aeration. Motors are 115v and have 6'
power cords.
