Know before you buy
The Bubble Pro Max is highly depth-dependent. It covers approximately 3/4 of an acre in shallower water between 5 and 8 feet deep, but its efficiency increases significantly in deeper water, reaching up to 3 acres in depths of 13 to 16 feet.
No, the system is designed for year-round use. In addition to providing oxygenation during the summer, it functions as an ice eater during the winter to prevent ice buildup and maintain open water.
The compressor is shore-mounted, which makes routine maintenance much easier since you do not need to enter the water to service the unit. While it is designed for outdoor use, it should be placed in a well-ventilated, dry area protected from direct elements.
The 300 feet of QuickSink weighted tubing is designed to stay securely on the pond floor without the need for additional anchoring. This keeps the lines organized and prevents them from floating to the surface or interfering with boat traffic.
Yes, the system is designed for a straightforward installation. Since the compressor stays on the shore and the tubing is weighted, you can typically set up the system without professional assistance, provided you have access to a standard power source.
