Description
1/4 HP Kasco Teich-Aire Rocking Piston Compressor
The 1/4 HP Kasco Teich-Aire Rocking Piston Compressor is a compact yet powerful oil-free aeration pump designed for small to medium ponds and deep-water applications. Built for continuous duty, this rocking piston compressor provides the reliable air pressure needed to aerate ponds that are too deep for standard diaphragm air pumps.
Whether you need year-round oxygenation for fish health or a winter de-icing solution, the Teich-Aire series delivers consistent performance day-in and day-out. It features a specialized ramped internal valve plate that allows the unit to restart under load after power failures—an essential safeguard for remote pond management. With its quiet operation and low-maintenance design, it is a favorite for both residential and professional installations.
