Description
1/4 HP Sentinel Deluxe Aeration System Kit (No Diffusers)
The Sentinel Deluxe Aeration System (Model PA50DLD) is an industrial-strength aeration solution designed for ponds and lakes up to two acres. Powered by a legendary Gast rotary vane compressor, this system is built for continuous, reliable operation in deep-water applications up to 18 feet.
This specific kit includes the core power system and weighted airline but omits the diffusers. This makes it the perfect choice for users who already own diffusers or who wish to customize their setup with specific diffuser types (such as rubber membrane or air stone) to match their pond's unique substrate and oxygenation requirements.
Key Features:
-
Industrial Gast Compressor: Features the 1/4 HP Stratus RV33 Rotary Vane compressor, known for its longevity and high-volume airflow (4.5 CFM).
-
Weather-Proof Protection: The compressor comes pre-installed in a Sentinel SC22 lockable steel cabinet, complete with a cooling fan and electrical outlet.
-
Complete Airline Package: Includes 200 feet of 1/2" Quick Sink weighted tubing, ensuring your airlines stay at the bottom of the pond without the need for additional weights.
-
Deep Water Capability: Capable of aerating effectively at depths of up to 18 feet, where standard diaphragm pumps often fail.
-
Cost-Efficient Performance: Designed for 24/7 operation with a typical running cost of approximately $1.31 per day (based on $0.09 per kWh).
-
Dual-Zone Control: Includes a two-valve manifold with a pressure relief valve, allowing you to run and balance two separate diffuser stations.

Why Choose Rotary Vane? Unlike rocking piston compressors, rotary vane compressors are exceptionally quiet and produce a very consistent, high volume of air. They are often the preferred choice for larger water bodies where maintaining high dissolved oxygen levels is critical for fish health and muck reduction.

- 1 Year Warranty on Compressor
