Diffused Aeration

This complete aeration system includes all the features of a Matala compressor and it is built into a heavy duty cabinet. The locking cabinet is landscape green color and designed for outdoor extreme weather conditions. The cabinet stands on a solid support base to maintain a level installation. Within the cabinet you will find a cooling fan with cross flow ventilation. The compressor plugs into a built in outlet. The heat protection hose leads externally and all you have to do is connect your air hose. Very simple to install and operate. The cabinet should be located above pond water level and flood zone and within 50 feet of the shore. Do not bury.

• Compressor with manifold system
• Full locking metal cabinet, landscape green color.
• Support base.
• Built in GFI outlet.
• Cross flow ventilation fan.
• Easy install and operation.
• Heavy weather resistant.

Adding a sub-surface aeration system is the perfect way to increase your pond's or lake's water quality and oxygen levels while maintaining its natural appearance. Sub-surface aerators utilize diffuser modules that sit at the bottom of your pond and are connected by weighted tubing to an air compressor on shore. The compressor pumps much-needed air to the very bottom of the pond to de-stratify the water column and infuse oxygen into the water. The membrane on the diffuser breaks the air into tiny bubbles, which are released into the pond. As these bubbles rise to the surface, they carry the low-oxygen bottom water upwards, where it mixes with the oxygen-rich surface water. The constant mixing causes the water column to de-stratify, allowing harmful gases to be released into the atmosphere.

Designed for easy installation. They're great as pond de-icers too!

For ponds and lakes to thrive, they need to breathe or problems can develop. The solution to organic sludge and excessive weed growth, low oxgen and stratification is aeration. The keys to sizing are depth and shape. The deeper the lake, the more water a single large diffuser can circulate. The shallower the lake, the more complex its shape, the more small diffusers will be required.

MOVE & AERATE LARGE VOLUMES OF WATER

Robust-Aire systems are quiet, move the most water, and provide great aeration benefits for applications 8 ft. or deeper. By pumping compressed air from a shore-mounted compressor, air is pushed through self-weighted lines to a diffuser on the pond, lake or tank bottom. The diffuser then continuously releases micro-bubbles that rise to the surface carrying large volumes of water. This induces oxygen-transfer as well as beneficial water movement and mixing. Kasco’s Robust-Aire has been independently tested to be up to 44% more efficient than any other system, meaning you can use less energy, spend less money, and get better results.

• Packages include diffuser assembly, compressor, and compressor mounting option
• The stainless steel diffuser assembly includes built-in strain relief and lands right side up every time
• Large air filters allow for less frequent maintenance
• Visual maintenance indicators quickly alerts when air filters need attention
• Eliminates thermal and chemical stratification 
• No electricity in the water 
• Creates open water to prevent ice damage to docks and boats 

Multiple Mounting Options: Base Mount Cabinet, Post Mount Cabinet, or No Cabinet

DOUBLE-PISTON SYSTEMS - These systems use 1/2 HP double-piston compressors for more air flow to each diffuser

Bottom aeration plays an important role in creating a healthy pond with clean and clear water. This low pressure, high-volume process infuses pond water with oxygen while providing constant water movement to prevent the buildup of algae and muck, reduces mosquitos, and creates a healthy habitat for fish and plant life. It also helps break up thermocline that can develop over time in a static pond. 

• Increases oxygen levels making it easier for fish to thrive in the hot summers
• Promotes growth of algae controlling beneficial bacteria
• Lowers levels of dissolved toxic gasses and ammonia
• Reduces sludge build up on the pond bottom
• Keeps the water moving and prevents thermal stratification

AERATION SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Air Compressor: The air compressor is the primary piece of the aeration system, it is the pump that produces the compressed air that is delivered to the bottom of the pond. Compressors should be housed in a compressor cabinet near a power source.

Weighted Tubing: Weighted tubing carries the air produced by the compressor down to the diffuser(s) at the bottom of the pond. The weight of the tubing keeps it at the bottom of the lake.

Diffuser(s): Depending on the size of the pond you can have one to multiple diffusers throughout the pond. Diffusers receive the air from the compressor and “diffuse” it into tiny bubbles that aerate the entire water column from the bottom to the surface. 

Air Compressor Enclosure (optional): Air compressor enclosures conceal and protect you air compressor. If air compressors get wet or too hot, they will quit working. Compressor cabinets not only protect your pump from the elements, they also contain an air manifold, cooling fan and connecting airlines.

The air compressor is the primary piece of an aeration system that delivers compressed air to the diffusers at the bottom of a pond. The air compressor is placed on shore. With additional tubing, it can be placed up to 300 feet away without having to increase air compressor size.

The EasyPro Stratus RV Series rotary vane compressors are specifically designed for the demanding job of 24 hour operation. They offer less depth capabilities than diaphragm or rocking piston compressors but produce considerably more air. These medium pressure, oil free compressors are excellent for pond and lake aeration and de-icing. Carbon vanes self adjust to maintain maximum efficiency and can be easily replaced when worn out. Available in 1/4, 3/4 and 1 HP, 115v and 230v.

• Quieter operation than similar compressors
• Thermal overload protection
• Low maintenance with easy to service vane and filters
