This unit can aerate ponds up to 1 1⁄2 acres as long as you have adequate depths. The recommendations are based on the chart below. Please follow the chart for adequate aeration and desertification; otherwise you will not get adequate aeration. A long narrow pond may require multiple diffusers to properly aerate the entire pond. Square, circular and oval ponds can usually be aerated from one central diffuser if one acre or less in size. Please call us if you are unsure of what kit to purchase and we will be happy to assist you. The rocking piston compressors can operate up to 35' deep. Motor draws 3.1 amps and pumps 1.5 CFM of air. This unit is our best selling aerator and for good reason. It is a powerful aerator that is competitively priced and don't forget it comes with a great 1 year warranty. Also available with weighted tubing.

If you have a quartz sleeve make sure and clean it with acetone when you change your bulb to truly have a clean quartz sleeve. As a general rule of thumb, you should change your UV bulb after about 8,000 hours use. This is about once a year.
