Professional Deep Water Aeration Power

Atlantic's Replacement Gast Compressors deliver high-pressure performance for deep pond and lake aeration from 8 to 35 feet. Engineered with Gast's legendary rocking piston technology, these compressors combine industrial-grade durability with quiet, efficient operation for long-term installations.

Gast Rocking Piston Reliability

Dual aluminum pistons with hard-coated cylinders and replaceable piston seals deliver consistent high-pressure output year after year. The fully rebuildable construction means you can service wear items rather than replacing the entire unit. The replaceable air filter keeps contaminants out, extending compressor life and maintaining optimal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know which model I need?
A: Match the compressor to your existing Atlantic system. TPD72R6 (3/4 HP) is for TPD300C/TPD400C systems, while TPD87R6 (1/2 HP) is for TPD100C/TPD200C systems.

Q: What is the difference between the two models?
A: The TPD72R6 has a 3/4 HP motor and weighs 26 lbs (for TPD300C/TPD400C). The TPD87R6 has a 1/2 HP motor and weighs 22.7 lbs (for TPD100C/TPD200C). Both deliver 30 PSI and handle depths up to 35 feet.

Q: Can these compressors be used deeper than 35 feet?
A: These compressors are rated for a maximum depth of 35 feet. Using them beyond this depth may reduce performance and strain the motor.

Q: How often do these compressors require maintenance?
A: Regular maintenance includes replacing the air filter periodically and inspecting for wear. The rebuildable design allows for piston seal replacement when needed. Consult the owner's manual for specific schedules.

Q: Are these compressors loud?
A: No, these compressors feature rubber mounting feet and damped operation designed to minimize noise and vibration.

Q: Can I rebuild these compressors myself?
A: Yes, these compressors are designed with accessible components for maintenance. Replacement parts like piston seals and filters are available. Basic mechanical skills are required.

Q: What is included with the compressor?
A: Each compressor includes the Gast rocking piston unit, 6-foot power cord, intake air filter, and rubber mounting feet.

Q: Where should I install the compressor?
A: Install in a dry, ventilated location protected from weather. A ventilated enclosure, shed, or covered area is ideal with adequate airflow for cooling.
