Description
Can-Air Diffused Aeration System for Ponds, Lakes and Dugouts
Can-Air Pond & Lake bottom diffused aeration is a biologist deisgned system that works to reduce algae & vegetation growth, reduce sludge and water odour and improve overall water quality.
- Durable Stainless Steel Base
- No gravel needed in the base to sink it - just lower into the water
- Easy to assemble and install
- Made in North America
- No electricity in the water. This can be especially important where swimming is allowed.
- No floating equipment at the surface. Boating is not hindered and the natural view of the lake can be enjoyed.
- Can-Air Aeration will improve water quality by moving water slowly over the bottom substrate of the pond. Phosphates are reduced by up to 95% in many cases.
- Can-Air systems can aerate for as little as is cost effective to purchase and operate for larger surface areas. These systems can effectively de-stratify and aerate deep lakes with much lower equipment costs and energy consumption. Can-Air systems are the most efficient on the market.
- Low maintenance. Most maintenance and inspection may be conducted onshore. Rocking piston compressors do not require internal maintenance as often as other compressors.
**NOTE** For warranty to be valid, all systems sold with no cabinet must be:
A) out of the elements (snow, wind, dust)
B) be kept off the ground (on a shelf or post)
C) have a cooling fan blowing hot air AWAY from compressor (any little 12v barn fan will work)
Advantages Of Using A Can-Air Aeration System
- Energy-efficient tech-aire piston compressor with air inlet filter. One year standard warranty two year warranty when purchased with cabinet.
- Pond Pro weighted tubing
- Can-Air diffuser Assemblies with weighted base.
- All fittings and clamps necessary to assemble your system.
- Multiple diffuser systems include a manifold with valves to control air flow to each diffuser.
- 38% more diffuser area than most systems out there.
Our compressors and the associated cooling fans are available in 120 or 240 volt
If there is no aeration currently in your fish pond, the diffuser should be lowered roughly half the depth, and then slowly lowered all the way to the bottom over the next few weeks at a rate of 2 feet every other week until it is at the pond bottom
If the diffuser is lowered to the bottom right away you risk stirring up toxic gases that could kill your fish. Lowering it slowly over time will eliminate this risk.
