Atlantic TPS Shallow Water Aeration System
Complete Aeration Solutions for Shallow Ponds and Lakes
The Atlantic TPS Shallow Water Aeration System delivers professional-grade oxygen transfer for ponds and lakes up to 7 feet deep and half an acre in surface area. Engineered as a complete, ready-to-install solution, each system includes a pre-assembled aeration cabinet with all internal components installed, shallow water diffusers optimized for depths up to 7 feet, weighted airline tubing, and all necessary fittings.
This turnkey approach eliminates the guesswork of component selection and compatibility, providing everything you need for effective year-round aeration in a single package. Whether you're managing a residential pond, farm lake, or commercial water feature, the TPS system delivers the oxygen transfer capacity essential for healthy aquatic ecosystems.
Pre-Assembled Cabinet for Simplified Installation
Each TPS system features a weather-resistant aeration cabinet assembly with all internal components pre-installed and tested at the factory. This plug-and-play design dramatically reduces installation time and eliminates the complexity of assembling individual components in the field. Simply position the cabinet, connect the weighted tubing to the diffusers, place the diffusers in your pond, and power on the system.
The cabinet houses a professional-grade compressor, manifold, and all necessary controls in a durable, weather-resistant enclosure designed for years of outdoor service. Ventilation ensures proper cooling, while the secure design protects components from the elements.
Shallow Water Diffuser Technology
The included shallow water diffusers are specifically engineered for optimal performance in ponds and lakes up to 7 feet deep. Unlike deep-water diffusers that require significant depth to function efficiently, these diffusers create effective upwelling and oxygen transfer in shallower environments where most residential and small commercial ponds operate.
Weighted airline tubing ensures the diffusers remain properly positioned on the pond bottom, while the tubing's weighted design prevents floating and maintains consistent placement even in current or during water level fluctuations.
Available System Configurations
Two Diffuser System (TPS200S) - SKU: 73970

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between the two-diffuser and four-diffuser systems?
A: The two-diffuser system (TPS200S) covers up to 0.25 acres and 6 feet deep, while the four-diffuser system (TPS400S) covers up to 0.50 acres and 7 feet deep. The four-diffuser system includes a larger cabinet assembly with greater compressor capacity.
Q: Can I use these systems in deeper ponds?
A: These systems are optimized for shallow water applications up to 7 feet deep. For deeper ponds, consider deep-water aeration systems designed for greater depths and pressures.
Q: How do I determine which system size I need?
A: Base your selection on both surface area and depth. For ponds up to 0.25 acres and 6 feet deep, choose the two-diffuser system. For ponds up to 0.50 acres and 7 feet deep, select the four-diffuser system. Consult with a pond professional for irregularly shaped ponds or unique conditions.
Q: Where should I place the diffusers?
A: Position diffusers in the deepest areas of your pond for maximum circulation. For multiple diffusers, distribute them to provide even coverage across the pond. Avoid placing directly beneath docks or high-traffic areas.
Q: Can I run the system year-round?
A: Yes. The TPS systems are designed for continuous year-round operation, including winter aeration to prevent fish kills and maintain gas exchange through ice.
Q: How much electricity does the system use?
A: Power consumption varies by system size and operating conditions. The cabinet assembly includes energy-efficient compressor technology. Consult product specifications for detailed electrical requirements.
Q: Is the cabinet weatherproof?
A: The cabinet is weather-resistant and designed for outdoor installation. However, positioning under a roof overhang or in a ventilated enclosure can extend component life and reduce exposure to extreme weather.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Inspect diffusers annually for clogging or wear. Check airline connections for leaks. The compressor may require periodic filter cleaning or replacement. Consult the owner's manual for specific maintenance schedules.
