Product Accessories
Complete Aerator Kit contains 25' of 1/8" tubing for each airstone!
Every process that happens in the pond is dependent on oxygen.
This is especially important at night when plants are not converting CO2 into oxygen.
Dissolved oxygen levels are also generally lower in warmer water temperatures.
Pond aerators oxygenate your pond, helping all biological processes and creating a more stable environment, resulting in healthier fish and plants.
Aeration is also very important during winter months in colder climates, as aeration helps to keep a small hole open in the surface of the pond to aid in degassing.
Pond Air 2 should handle a pond up to 800 gallons.
The Pond Air 4 should handle a pond up to 2,000 gallons

PRO Tip: Remember to not place the air diffusers on the bottom of the pond during the winter, which may disrupt the natural thermocline found in the deeper portions of the pond where the fish are overwintering. Instead, place the air diffusers about 1 to 1.5 ft. below the surface of the water.

Pro Tip: The pump should be placed in an indoor location, which is dry and free from airborne dust and debris.
If you notice that your pump is losing air pressure or simply doesn't work as well as when you purchased it, a simple, inexpensive renew kit is available.
After installing the renew kit your pond air pump should be as good as new.
Customer Question:
I don't have rocks or pebbles in my pond to hold these disks down. Using an old timer brick that has a mfg hole in it. It stands up so there is no weight on the hose to hinder air flow. Every day or so a fish knocks it over. Do you know of what kind on weight I can get to thread it on the hose to rest near the disc's
Aquascape Tech Answer:
You can use most anything that sinks..... Old
coffee mugs that you got for White Elephant.... some people have used non lead
fishing weights.....ceramic flower pots.....

You could use the cheap lead weights, just make sure and wash your hands after
handling.... Research has shown more a toxicity problem to shore birds vs fish
from lead weights (birds eat them with the gravel for their gizzards)
Good luck. :) It will take a bit of experimenting to figure out how many they
will need.... Heck a little sandbag would work (like a ziplock with a some sand)
could use some hot glue and make a little pouch from underlayment and stick the
weighted ziplock in......
