Atlantic Professional Aeration Kit
High-Output Aeration for Larger Ponds and Koi Systems
Atlantic's Professional Aeration Kits deliver high-output oxygen delivery for larger water gardens and koi ponds with greater oxygen demands. Engineered with high-efficiency non-clogging diffuser tubing and circular diffuser design, these complete kits maximize upwelling, water circulation, and gas exchange while ensuring long pump life.
Superior Diffuser Technology
Unlike traditional stones or rubber diaphragms that restrict airflow and clog over time, Atlantic's diffuser tubing is less restrictive, delivering greater flows and extending pump life. The circular diffuser design maximizes upwelling and water circulation, creating optimal gas exchange at the pond bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which kit do I need for my pond?
A: The TADKIT1800 (single diffuser) is suitable for ponds up to 6,000 gallons and 7 feet deep. The TADKIT3600 (dual diffuser) handles ponds up to 12,000 gallons and 11 feet deep.
Q: How do I fill the diffusers?
A: The diffusers come unweighted. Fill them with sand or gravel to provide weight for proper bottom placement.
Q: What is the advantage of diffuser tubing over airstones?
A: Diffuser tubing is less restrictive than stones or rubber diaphragms, allowing greater airflow with less back pressure. This reduces strain on the pump and extends pump life.
Q: Can I run the aeration system year-round?
A: Yes, these kits are designed for continuous operation. Winter aeration prevents ice-over and maintains oxygen levels for fish.
Q: Where should I place the diffusers?
A: Place diffusers at the deepest point of your pond for maximum circulation. For dual diffuser kits, space diffusers to cover different zones.
Q: What are the check valves for?
A: In-line check valves prevent water from flowing back into the air pump if power is lost, protecting the pump from water damage.
Q: How often does the pump require maintenance?
A: Check and clean the air filter periodically (monthly during heavy use). The non-clogging diffuser design minimizes maintenance compared to traditional airstones.
Q: Where should I install the air pump?
A: Install the pump in a dry, ventilated location above water level, such as a shed, garage, or weatherproof enclosure.
