FAQ
Q: Which kit should I choose?
A: Choose the PA6SWN for small to medium shallow ponds. Choose the PA8SWN for larger shallow ponds requiring greater airflow capacity. Both are designed for ponds 7 feet deep or less.
Q: Will this work in ponds deeper than 7 feet?
A: No, these linear compressor kits are specifically designed for shallow ponds 7 feet deep or less. For deeper ponds, consider rocking piston or rotary vane aeration systems.
Q: How quiet are these compressors?
A: Linear compressors are extremely quiet—whisper-quiet operation that won't disturb you or your neighbors. They're ideal for residential installations near homes or outdoor living spaces.
Q: What is quick sink tubing?
A: Quick sink tubing is weighted airline that sinks on its own without requiring additional weights. This simplifies installation and creates a cleaner appearance.
Q: Does this require oil changes?
A: No, the linear compressor is oil-free and requires no oil changes or regular maintenance. This makes it virtually maintenance-free.
Q: How much does this cost to operate?
A: Linear compressors are extremely energy-efficient. Operating costs are minimal, typically just a few dollars per month depending on your local electricity rates.
Q: Can I use this outdoors?
A: Yes, the weather-resistant enclosure can be used outdoors. For maximum longevity, provide additional protection from the elements such as placing under an overhang or in a ventilated shelter.
Q: Is this difficult to install?
A: Installation is straightforward. Place the compressor near your pond, run the quick sink airline to the pond, and position the diffuser at the desired location. The lightweight design and quick sink tubing make installation easy.
Q: Can I run this year-round?
A: Yes, these systems can run year-round in mild climates. In freezing climates, winterize by bringing the compressor indoors and draining the airline to prevent freeze damage.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Minimal maintenance includes periodic inspection of airline connections and cleaning the diffuser annually. The oil-free linear compressor requires no oil changes or regular servicing.
