Know before you buy

No, this is a surface aerator. It is designed to float on the surface of the water to effectively circulate and oxygenate the top layers of your pond.
This aerator is highly efficient, capable of transferring up to 3 pounds of oxygen per horsepower per hour, which significantly improves overall water quality and reduces odors.
This unit operates on 208-240V single-phase power. Ensure your power source is compatible with these specifications and that you have selected the appropriate cord length for your pond's distance from the outlet.
Maintenance is straightforward due to the unit's durable, high-quality construction. Periodic inspections of the stainless steel components and ensuring the intake remains clear of debris are typically all that is required to maintain performance.
The unit typically requires a float and a screen for proper operation. We recommend confirming that your chosen package includes these, or purchasing them separately if you are buying the motor unit alone.
