Know before you buy
When the system detects a blockage caused by ice, an automatic control valve triggers the injection of alcohol into the aeration line. This alcohol effectively melts the ice, allowing the system to resume normal airflow.
No, the process is fully automated. Once the ice blockage is cleared, the control valve closes on its own and the windmill aeration system returns to its normal operation without any manual intervention.
It is specifically designed for windmills positioned away from the pond's edge, where longer air lines are more susceptible to freezing. If your windmill is located close to the water, you may not require this level of freeze protection.
You will need to monitor the alcohol reservoir to ensure it remains filled throughout the winter months. Aside from keeping the system supplied with alcohol, the unit is designed for simple, reliable operation.
Yes, it is engineered to maintain continuous aeration performance even in harsh winter conditions. By preventing line freezing, it ensures your pond remains oxygenated regardless of how cold the ambient temperature drops.
