Airmax PondSeries Aeration System, PS40, Outdoor Pond & Lake Aerator Pump, 3 Diffuser Plate, 115v 

If your pond is not properly aerated, it could suffer from low oxygen levels. Aerators for ponds increase water circulation and saturate your pond with life-giving oxygen, providing long-term benefits and reducing overall maintenance. With increased oxygen and added beneficial bacteria, excess nutrients in the pond or lake are metabolized, resulting in cleaner water and less muck. Aeration is a key step in the Airmax Ecosystem, a simple 3-step approach to pond and lake management that will revitalize your waterbody, creating a clean, clear, and thriving pond or lake. Without aeration, your pond becomes layered with varying temperatures, known as thermal stratification. In the winter, the water flow created by the aerator maintains a vent hole in the ice to release toxic gases, eliminating thermal stratification and stopping winter fish kills. The PS40 with 3 diffuser plates feature a highly efficient, whisper-quiet 115-volt compressor with rubber mounts that reduce noise and vibrations to ensure silent operation. This motor can push up to 5.6 CFMs of oxygen to your pond. Diffusers feature low-maintenance, membrane diffuser sticks that release tiny bubbles into the water. Diffusers are mounted on an innovative, maintenance-free sled design that keeps them submerged and upright on the ground at the pond's bottom. Airmax PondSeries PS40 Aeration System with 3 plates has 300 feet of 3/8" Self-Weighted Airline tubing. Each cabinet comes equipped with a high-density air intake filter that protects against contaminants. 

FAQ

• How loud are Airmax pond aerators when they are running? 
• The Airmax aeration systems have a range of decibel ratings depending on the size of the compressor. These systems are generally no louder than or equal to the sound of a window AC unit.
• How much electricity does the unit use?
• The Airmax PondSeries PS40 only draws 4.3 amps of electricity. The PS40 is 115v and can be plugged into a standard outdoor GFCI outlet. The compressor can push up to 5.6 CFMs of oxygen to your pond.
• Can I bury the airline?
• We do not recommend burying the included airline. Instead, use 5/8” direct burial airline (sold separately) when trenching the line. You can connect to the included weighted airline once you’re at the pond’s edge.. 
• What is the maximum water depth at which the diffuser will operate?
•  Fifty feet of water is the maximum working depth of all PondSeries Aeration systems. Depth matters. Diffusers placed in deeper depths are more efficient at aerating ponds, so understanding your pond depth is vital to ensure you correctly size an aeration system.
