This
unit can effectively aerate ¾ acre
to 2 ½ acre ponds depending on
depths(see chart below). This system is the best kit we know of for
ponds under
18’. We highly recommend the rotary vane compressors
because
they are low
maintenance and tend to have longer life spans than many piston type
compressors. Typically, we will only recommend the 1/3 HP piston
compressor over the rotary vane in ponds that are very deep, otherwise
this unit is your best option. Produces 4.2 CFM of air, draws 5 amps.
Motor available in 115v
and 230v.

* Please note when selecting your aerator that the greater the depth of
your pond, the less CFM(Cubic Feet per Minute) of air required to
adequately aerate the pond.
