Adding a subsurface aeration system is a great way to increase water quality and oxygen levels while maintaining the natural appearance of your pond. This style of aerator has one diffuser module that sits at the bottom of the pond, connected by weighted tubing, which is in turn connected to an onshore air compressor. The compressor pumps much-needed air to the bottom of your pond, ensuring adequate oxygen levels during the hot summer months.
Air is pumped from the compressor through the weighted airline to the diffuser at the pond bottom. When the air reaches the diffuser, several thousand small bubbles are created. These bubbles rise to the surface and produce an upward current. Water at the pond bottom is lifted to the surface, where oxygen is replenished by the atmosphere.
Designed for easy installation, all Bubble Pro models come with a two-year warranty and are available in 115 or 230 V options.
The Bubble Pro Mini comes complete with one diffuser; one 100-foot length of 3/8-inch quick-sink weighted tubing; a ¼-hp rocking-piston compressor; a valved air outlet assembly with individual controls for each hose and a pressure relief valve; and all required fittings and clamps.
The Bubble Pro Mini also works well as a de-icer during the winter months and in frigid climates.
