Description
3/4 HP Kasco Teich-Aire Rocking Piston Compressor
The 3/4 HP Kasco Teich-Aire Rocking Piston Compressor is a professional-grade, continuous-duty aeration pump engineered specifically for large ponds and deep-water applications. Unlike standard pumps, this oil-free rocking piston design provides superior air pressure and volume, making it the ideal choice for maintaining oxygen levels and preventing winter fish kills in challenging aquatic environments.
Built for versatility, the Teich-Aire series can be operated either intermittently or continuously, year-round. It features a unique ramped internal valve plate that allows the motor to restart even while under load—a critical feature for maintaining aeration after power interruptions. Whether you are installing a new aeration system or upgrading an existing one, this compressor provides the efficiency and durability required for professional lake and pond management.
Key Features:
-
Deep Water Performance: Specifically designed to push air into deep water where standard diaphragm pumps often fail.
-
Continuous Duty Operation: Engineered for 24/7 use, providing constant oxygenation for your aquatic ecosystem.
-
Restart Under Load: Ramped internal valve plate ensures the compressor can restart immediately after a power failure without manual intervention.
-
Oil-Less Design: 100% oil-free operation ensures no harmful lubricants enter your pond water, keeping your environment safe for fish and plants.
-
Thermal Protection: Integrated thermal overload protection prevents the motor from overheating, extending the life of the unit.
-
Complete Assembly: Comes ready to install with an intake air filter, vibration mounts, and a 40 PSI pressure relief valve.
