Description
This is a complete aeration system for ponds up to one acre that we have upgraded by providing two larger diffuser pads mounted on metal platforms. The larger diffuser pads provide more bubbles and will stay on the bottom until you decide to move them. The 1/2 hp compressor is energy efficient and produced by Matala who has a reputation for high quality aeration products.
Included:
- One weatherproof locking cabinet with a 120-volt cooling fan
- One 120v 1/2 hp. rocking piston compressor with air filter
- One oil filled pressure gauge.
- One two-way manifold with a pressure relief valve
- 300ft of weighted 3/8″ ID PVC hose
- Three upgraded 10-inch diffuser pad with metal mounting platforms and fittings
- One plastic ground tray to help keep the cabinet out of the mud.
When locating the cabinet consider keeping it above the pond level or above a potential flood area. If the source of electricity is not close to the pond it is possible to bury a section of plastic conduit in a trench and push air from the compressor to the pond. At our farm we push air through a conduit more than 1500 feet, the compressor cabinet is placed next to one of our barns and works just fine. ALWAYS remember to plug the electric cord into a GFI circuit for safety purposes.
