FAQ
Q: Which configuration should I choose?
A: Choose the PA83W single diffuser kit for elongated or narrow ponds where one aeration point is sufficient. Choose the PA83D dual diffuser kit for wide, irregularly shaped, or larger ponds requiring multiple aeration points for better coverage.
Q: How large of a pond will this aerate?
A: This 3/4 HP system aerates ponds up to 3 acres or 25 feet deep. Actual capacity depends on pond shape, depth, fish load, and desired oxygen levels.
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: Is this difficult to install?
A: Installation requires running airline from the compressor to the pond and placing diffusers at the desired locations. While DIY installation is possible, professional installation ensures optimal diffuser placement and system performance.
Q: Can I run this year-round?
A: Yes, this system is designed for continuous year-round operation. Winter aeration prevents ice-over and maintains oxygen levels for fish.
Q: How much does this cost to operate?
A: Operating costs depend on your local electricity rates. The 3/4 HP compressor is energy-efficient, typically costing $30-60 per month to run continuously.
Q: How loud is the compressor?
A: Rocking piston compressors are relatively quiet and the included cabinet further reduces noise. Most installations place the compressor near the pond without noise concerns.
Q: Where should I place the diffusers?
A: Place diffusers in the deepest part of the pond for maximum circulation. For dual diffuser systems, space them apart to provide even coverage throughout the pond.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Minimal maintenance includes periodic inspection of airline connections, cleaning diffusers annually, and checking compressor operation. The rocking piston design is reliable and low-maintenance.
