  • Lake & Pond Diffused Aerators

Pond and lake aeration is vital to the maintenance of ponds and lakes that are 6 feet or deeper. You can either choose from a surface aerator system or a diffused aeration system. Diffused aerators release air from the bottom of the lake, which can make the aeration more effective even in large ponds or lakes. By adding an aerator system to your pond or lake, you’ll be able to keep it healthy for your ecosystem and aesthetically pleasing.

Here at ProPond & Lakes, we offer leading brands in diffused aerator systems including AirMax, Otterbine, and Kasco. For any questions you have about our available diffused aerator systems, give us a call today at 800-305-3277 to receive a free estimate.

Benefits of a Diffused Aeration System for Lakes & Ponds

Kasco Marine Robust Aire System

Aeration is the act of pumping air into your pond or lake. This is achieved through the interaction of the diffused aerator systems three parts: the air compressor, air hose, and air diffuser. The air compressor sits on shore, pumping air through the hose down to the air diffuser placed on the bottom of the pond or lake. The air diffuser then releases air, causing hundreds of air bubbles to form, circulating and aerating the pond or lake water.

Diffused aerators can be used with shallow or deeper ponds depending on the aerator model.

Each system must also have a dedicated power supply near the pond or lake. You may want to invest in a diffused aerator system for the reasons of:

  • In general, diffused aerators are more effective because they aerate from the bottom of the pond.
  • Provides an energy-efficient solution for shallow ponds.
  • Easy to install and maintain because the motor is located on shore.
  • Various price points—for maximum water movement of ponds of various sizes and depths.
  • Provides a non-obtrusive, out-of-sight solution for pond and lake aeration.

DIFFUSED AERATOR SYSTEMS AVAILABLE AT PROPOND & LAKES

As leaders in pond and lake management, we can offer you a variety of diffused aeration systems perfect for your pond or lake.

Airmax PondSeries

AirMax PondSeries™ Aeration Systems are powerful enough to aerate ponds up to 8 acres and can be adapted to fit uniquely shaped ponds for maximum aeration. Diverse PondSeries™ systems handle aeration without making a ruckus, and without breaking a sweat. The single plate PS10 system is excellent for smaller or regularly shaped ponds, while the 8 plate PS80 tackles larger water bodies up to 8 acres. It can even fit ponds with an irregular shape that require precision plate placement for well-distributed circulation.

All PondSeries™ Systems are designed to aerate pond up to 21′ deep, but can aerate up to 50′ deep when a Deep Water Kit (sold separately) is added.

Airmax Shallow Water

The Airmax Shallow Water Series™ Aeration Systems are an elegant solution to aeration needs for shallow ponds. They provide a multiple plate solution—offering evenly distributed aeration— without forcing you to buy large, costly aeration units. Designed specifically for shallow water at 6’ deep, the Shallow Water system covers up to ½ surface acre.

The core of the Shallow Water system is the SilentAir™ LR Series Linear Diaphragm Compressor. It’s impressively strong, yet energy efficient, costing a minimal amount in electricity per month, even while running 24/7. Each compressor comes with a 2-year warranty.

Aqua-Air Ultra

If you have a pond or lake with unique circumstances, the custom-built AquaAir® Ultra Diffused Aeration System is for you. It provides superior aeration, circulation, and de-stratification. De-stratification is a strategy where you disturb the tendency for lakes to separate into distinct water layers separated by temperature. System sizes range from ⅓ to 1HP, and operate with 1 to 12 diffusers. AquaAir® Ultra is backed by a 3 year warranty on compressors and comes custom-made—make sure to fill out our contact form, or call us.

Additional benefits of the Aqua-Air Diffusers:

  • Large base for soft bottom sediment
  • Self-cleaning, and low maintenance
  • Micro-bubble technology
  • Hollow base design for sand or gravel weighting
  • Each membrane has a non-stick coating to prevent biofilm and calcium build-up
