Description
Kasco Robust-Aire System 2 (with Post-Mount Cabinet)
All-In-One Professional Aeration for Deep Water Environments
The Kasco Robust-Aire System 2 with Post-Mount Cabinet provides a comprehensive solution for pond and lake owners who need a durable, outdoor-ready aeration system. This package includes a weather-resistant, lockable cabinet designed to be mounted on a 4x4 wooden post or a similar structure. It houses a powerful rocking piston compressor that delivers air to two (2) Robust-Aire™ diffusers, creating a massive circulation of water from the pond floor to the surface.
This system is specifically engineered for deep-water applications (8 to 50 feet), where it effectively eliminates thermal stratification and boosts oxygen levels to improve overall aquatic health.
Key Features:
-
Post-Mount Cabinet: Includes a heavy-duty, powder-coated aluminum cabinet that protects the compressor from the elements, prevents tampering, and reduces operating noise.
-
Dual Robust-Aire™ Diffusers: Equipped with two high-efficiency diffusers that produce a fine-bubble curtain. The unique design is self-cleaning and prevents clogging.
-
Continuous Duty Compressor: Available in 1/4 HP or 1/2 HP models, these rocking piston compressors are designed for 24/7 operation and long-term reliability.
-
Superior Circulation: By moving oxygen-depleted water from the bottom to the surface, the system prevents fish kills, reduces muck buildup, and clears up foul odors.
-
Safety First: With no electricity required in the water, this system is the safest choice for ponds used for swimming, boating, or livestock.
-
Complete Kit: Includes the compressor, cabinet with cooling fan, manifold, and two diffusers. (Note: Weighted tubing is sold separately or in custom lengths).

The Benefits of the Post-Mount Design The post-mount configuration is ideal for sites prone to flooding or where space on the ground is limited. By elevating the compressor and cabinet, you ensure maximum airflow for cooling and keep the equipment away from ground-level moisture and debris. The integrated cooling fan and air filters within the cabinet ensure that the compressor runs at optimal temperatures, significantly extending the life of the internal components.
Installation Note: This system is designed for easy DIY installation. The cabinet comes pre-wired with a cooling fan and features mounting brackets for easy attachment to any standard post.
