Pond depth and pond shape are two primary factors in selecting the proper aeration system for your pond. In general, the deeper the pond, the less air diffusers that are needed, and the more uniform the shape (ex: round) the less diffusers needed. For example, an irregular shaped pond or a long, narrow pond might require two or more air diffusers whereas a round pond might only need one diffuser.
All models expect the PA34-2 are able to aerate a pond up to 1 acre in size, and operate at depths of up to 50 feet. These systems will aerate a 1/4 acre pond at 5-8' deep, a 1/2 acre pond at 8-12' deep, or a 1 acre pond at 12-16' deep. The PA34-2 includes 2 diffusers and is able to aerate ponds up to 2 acres. It is able to aerate a 1/2 acre pond at a depth of 5-8', a 1 acre pond at a depth of 8-12', or a 2 acre pond at a depth of 12-16'. By adding oxygen and circulating water, every system improves pond health, which helps water plants, fish and other aquatic life.
These EasyPro aeration systems feature Stratus SRC25 1/4 HP rocking piston compressors with a 2-year warranty, while the tubing and diffuser(s) are backed by a 5-year warranty. The energy-efficient compressors operate at a low approximate cost of $0.40 per 24 hours at $0.09 per kilowatt-hour.
Each Basic system includes an air outlet with pressure relief valve, fittings and clamps.
Please Note: The PA34 has poly air tubing (non-weighted). The other models have weighted air tubing.
