Aeration Systems

Why are there so many different Pond aerators? It’s because each pond is unique and it’s not one size fits all. Click the category that best describes your pond size below for more specifics of each aeration kit. For more information about pond aeration and it's benefits, scroll past the categories or check out our Aeration 101 link.

Garden Pond and Koi Pond Aeration – This Aeration equipment is designed for aquariums, small tanks, ornamental ponds, and up to 40,000 gallon Koi ponds.

Shallow Pond Aerators – This Aeration Equipment is designed for small Back Yard ponds to 1/4 Surface Acre ponds.

Easypro Pond Aeration – This is an actual line of equipment designed for ponds ranging from 1/4 acre to 6 Acres. Very Economical and reliable. Fully customizable for irregular shaped ponds if a standard kits doesn’t fit your needs. Can aerate very deep ponds as well.

Kasco Marine Robust Aire – This is our #1 line of large pond aeration systems. It’s an actual line of equipment designed for ponds 1/4 acre to 12 acres. The major difference is the diffuser design that allows smaller compressors to do the work of a much larger systems in the industry. It's the most efficient diffused pond aerator system on the market. Fully customizable for irregular shaped ponds if standard kits doesn’t fit your needs. Can aerate very deep ponds as well

Solar Pond Aeration System – This line of pond aeration equipment does operate on the Sun’s harnessed energy. It’s a 24 volt system and has different units designed to aerate ponds from Back yard koi ponds to a 5 acre pond. This is the most effective solar system on the market. Can be customized. Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations.

Windmill Aeration Systems – This line of pond aeration equipment operates on wind power. We have different windmills designed to aerate ponds from Back yard koi ponds to a 5 acre pond. We even have an electrical and windmill combination package so that when the wind isn’t blowing you’ll continue to have aeration. Can be customized.

Diffused Aeration (also know as Bottom up aeration, Lake bed aeration, Pond bubblers,are just a few terms used to define this type of system). It works on the same principle as a fish aquarium aeration sytem; its just on a larger scale. We have from the smallest water garden aeration kit to a system that can aerate up to a 90' deep lake. Customs systems can be designed to fit any need.

There are three factors that affect the efficiency of the pond aeration diffuser – the size of the bubbles, the depth of the pond, and the placement of the air diffuser.

The Deeper a diffuser is located, the more boiling action it will create and a larger area will be affected. See the charts and graphs below to help you size the correct system for you. You can always request a Free proposal.

Example: our PA33 pond aerator would aerate only 1/8 of an acre if operated in 4' deep water, while aerating up to 1 1/2 acres if operating in 18'-20' of water.

Ponds that are irregular or odd shaped will also reduce size of aeration area... Call us for assistance no matter how large or how small a project is.

In order to aerate deeper ponds, diffused aeraton systems are the best pond aeration kits to use. The reason for this is because air diffusers or diffused aerators are laid on the bottom of the deep pond which is why they are also called lake bed aerators or bottom up aeration systems.

This maximizes the aeration of the pond because aeration starts on the bottom going upwards by means of the pond aeration tubing and a pond aerator pump, regardless of how deep the pond is. As the diffused air rises to the surface, oxygen is dissolved throughout the pond. Not only do diffused aerators totally aerate the pond , they are very economical to operate because less energy is used.

Pushing air through the air diffusers is the most effiecient way to aerate your pond. Although we personally like to use a fountain or suface aerator in waters that are 8' feet and less due to the number of diffuser it may take etc. But it can be done if you desire a more natural look for your pond. More irregular shaped ponds may need a little more planning in your placement of the diffuser so if you have question please call us.

Diffused pond aeration kits have three basic parts —the pond aeration compressor, the pond aeration tubing, and the pond aeration diffuser. The pond aeration compressor is the device that sits on the shore while it pumps air into the pond aeration tubing and out to the pond aeration diffuser located on the bottom of the pond. Air will then rush out of the aeration diffuser, which is strategically placed on the bottom of the pond.

When the air is diffused it sends air into thousands of tiny bubbles scrambling to the surface at an average speed of (1 foot) per second aerating the pond for the much needed oxygen. These bubbles don’t only transfer the water from the bottom to the top, they help circulate and de-stratify the pond.

They also replenish oxygen throughout the water so that aerobic bacteria can clean the pond of toxic gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. The bubbles also create ripples on the surface on the pond. The ripples deflect sunlight preventing it from reaching the bottom of the pond. Without sunlight, algae will not grow on the bottom of the pond. you can go to our Aeration 101 page to learn more and see illistrations.
