Diffused Pond Aeration

POND AERATION and OXYGEN

Following are several different diffused aeration kits. Diffused aeration systems are the best way to aerate, destratify and create circulation on ponds over 6' deep. Each system has three basic parts.

1.an air compressor

2.an air hose

3.an air diffuser

The air compressor sits on shore and pumps air out through the hose to the air diffuser located on the bottom of the pond. The result is thousands of tiny bubbles rushing out of the diffuser to the pond surface, creating circulation and providing aeration. There are several advantages to using diffused aeration kits instead of surface aerator:

1.Electric motor is on shore, not in the water,

2.Air diffusers lay on the bottom, ensuring aeration of entire pond from bottom to top, regardless of depth size,

3.With proper sizing, tubing lengths up to 2000' can be achieved for ponds without electricity nearby.

All motors are designed for continuous duty operation and are oil-less for low maintenance. Periodic cleaning of air filter and replacement of diaphragm and gasket every few years is all that is necessary. Air stones can be cleaned (if necessary) in muriatic acid to restore like-new performance. We can build much larger systems or alter these kits to fit you specific needs. Please call for assistance. Kits include everything needed for installation and operation except for tubing weights. Tubing is buoyant and requires a 5# weight every 6-8' sink, or use optional self-weighted tubing. Fountans vs. Diffused Aeration - Which is Better? Fountains are a popular choice when decorative aerator is desired. Fountains splash the surface of the pond and help control surface algae and duckweed, but do not aerate down to the bottom of deep ponds. Diffused aeration is the best way to aerate deep ponds. Because the air diffuser lays on the bottom you achieve total pond aeration
from top to bottom regardless of depth.

Aerators, Pond Aerator

Use a pond aerator as a choice to oxygenate your pond.  Aeration is vital to maintaining a healthy pond, lake and water garden.  You can accomplish proper aeration through the use of an aerator, creating waterfalls or fountains.  Without the use of one of these units, your pond will become stagnant & smelly.  You will also have a build up of algae.  If you have fish, they will most likely die unless it is a very large pond or lake.  In areas where there are harsh winters, use an aerator in addition to a pond de-icer that keeps an area of your pond from freezing (particularly for small backyard ponds).  This open area allows toxic gases caused from decomposing organic matter, fish wastes, sludge, leaves, etc. to escape from the pond as well as allows an entrance for fresh oxygen to enter.  Choose the best aerator suited for your ponds needs below.  In addition to a proper size aerator, every pond needs beneficial bacteria to break down organic matter within the pond such as decaying leaves, fish wastes, etc. Every established pond already has beneficial bacteria but benefits from adding more.  For large ponds use our PlanktoniX™ product and for small ponds use our Microbe Lift product.  Both products are totally natural products and are completely safe for swimming, fish, wild life, etc.  They are not chemicals but natural biological strains of good types of bacteria that are responsible for reducing algae and breaking down organic matter.  They also break down toxic ammonia from fish wastes into harmless nitrates.  You can find both of them here.  By having a proper size aerator and adding beneficial bacteria, your pond will be much healthier, clearer, oxygenated and more enjoyable to you.)

View the diagrams below showing the difference between Fountain type of aerators (referred to as water fountains) and Diffused Aeration Systems.  The fountain aerators are a popular choice when a decorative aerator is desired.  Fountains splash the surface of the pond and help control surface algae and duckweed, but do not aerate down to the bottom in deep ponds (we have a fountain aerator for ponds as shallow as 17" right here besides other fountain aerators here).   Diffused aeration is the best way to go with deep ponds because the air diffuser lays on the bottom and you achieve total pond aeration from the bottom to the top regardless of depth.  Oxygen then dissipates throughout the pond.  They are also ideal for shallow ponds (use our High Volume Surface Aerator for shallow ponds ) as once again, they provide total aeration throughout the pond and are also much more economical to run as it takes less energy to push air in a diffused aeration system than it does to push water through fountains (or pumps, for that matter).  To find the comparison in electricity between any electrical product, click here.

      Diffuser type Aerators               

We also sell the following types of air compressors:

Linear Compressors - Extremely energy efficient, silent and reliable compressors.  Low pressure capability prohibits use in deep applications, but these pumps are great for shallow (less than 6-8') ponds, tanks, aquariums and many other applications.

Diaphragm Compressor - High pressure, low volume compressors widely used for deep pond aeration and destratification.

Rotary Vane Compressors - Medium volume, medium pressure compressors ideal for aeration of larger ponds and lakes less than 18' deep.

Rocking Piston Compressors - Provide slightly higher pressure than rotary vane compressors.  Ideal for aeration of ponds/lakes up to 40' deep.

Piston Compressor - High pressure compressors for aeration, destratification and de-icing of waters up to 75' deep.

Regenerative Blowers - Super high volume, low pressure blowers for aeration of tank system and shallow ponds.




Rocking Piston Pond Aerator Kit - 1/2 to 1 Acre
This unit can aerate ponds up to 1 1⁄2  acres as long as you have adequate depths. The recommendations are based on the chart below. Please follow the chart for adequate aeration and desratification, otherwise you will not get adequate aeration. Remember the deeper you can place the diffuser in your pond, the less CFM(Cubic Feet per Minute) or air that is required to adequately aerate your pond. A long narrow pond may require multiple diffusers to properly aerate the entire pond. Square, circular and oval ponds can usually be aerated from one central diffuser if one acre or less in size. Please call us if you are unsure of what kit to purchase and we will be happy to assist you. The rocking piston compressors can operate up to 35' deep. Motor draws 3.1 amps and pumps 1.5 CFM of air. This unit is our best selling aerator and for good reason. It is a powerful aerator that is competitively priced and don't forget it comes with a great 1 year warranty.

pond aerator diffuser and poly tubing for windmill aerator

Windmill Pond Aerators
Operation – Aerates without electricity in as little as 3-5 mph winds.  One system is designed to aerate ponds that are up to 2-3 acres in size.  For larger ponds, additional systems can be utilized.  When working with wider/shallower ponds, one system is effective, but we recommend the use of multiple airstones to disperse the oxygen more efficiently.  The OWS Selector valves allow you to regulate the oxygen to each airstone.  The windmill can be placed up to 1000’ from the pond for effective aeration. 

“BalCam” Technology -  Patent pending technology that increases the amount of air produced with a single diaphragm utilizing the new balanced camshaft system.  This innovative new design uses a straight camshaft to balance the workload on three internally mounted sealed bearing’s giving you much longer bearing life.

Manufacturing – Manufactured in the USA with top quality 18 gauge galvanized steel to our newly engineered design specs.  Each piece is cut to order and the system assembled in the Outdoor Water Solutions facility.
 
Assembly – Windmill designed for easy assembly with oval holes for quick alignment and rounded corners for improved safety when working with steel. 

Angle Cut Blades - Engineered to capture and operate even with a limited amount of wind speed. Longer than many competitors on the market to catch more wind.  Total head width is 73”, which is the largest head on the market!

One Piece Hub Assembly - Reduces the amount of parts to improve assembly time and improve on long term maintenance of the windmill.  The one piece hub uses two locking collars and a through bolt at the end of the compressor shaft.  You can install the head on the shaft in 5 minutes and it will stay put.  Other companies use squeeze clamps that take over an hour to install and can loosen over time.

Larger Compressor 1/2" Piston Stroke and 10” Diaphragm - Engineered for most efficient air production and maximum compressor life.  Can run up to 3 different diffusers aerating ponds and lakes from ¼ acre up to 3 acres in size.

Self-governing Heat and Tail fin design  - This uniquely designed tail fin captures the maximum air and is designed to turn out of excessive winds to prevent damage to windmill. 

3 Sided Tower Design – The three sided tower allows for ease in lowering and raising the windmill for maintenance and repair and allows for the need of only three ground mounting locations.  Available in 12’, 16’ and 20’ heights. 
Secure Locking Mechanism - Allows the windmill head to attach securely to the shaft.

5 Year Warranty – Covering all major mechanical defects inside the compressor for a full five years from the date of purchase.  Other windmill parts are covered for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase against defects in workmanship or materials.

Why Buy an Outdoor Water Solutions Aeration Windmill?

To keep ponds clean and healthy, water requires oxygen.  Without it, water turns unhealthy, resulting in fish kills and bacteria growth.  You can prevent this by adding oxygen to the water with an Outdoor Water Solutions Aeration Windmill.  An added benefit of aeration is it helps prevent freezing water through water circulation beneath the surface of the pond. 

Benefits of Aeration:

  • Reduces algae, bacteria and odor
  • Adds oxygen
  • Circulates stagnant water
  • Improves water for fish, livestock, recreational sites, golf courses and wildlife
  • Minimizes pond freezing
  • Hinders West Nile Virus
