Robust-Aire Diffused Aeration System

Diffused aeration releases air at the pond bottom, gently lifting low-oxygen water upward and allowing it to mix with oxygen-rich surface water, which reduces harmful stratification. This slow, continuous circulation spreads dissolved oxygen more evenly throughout the water column, improving overall water quality and supporting fish health.

Each diffuser can effectively aerate about 1 to 1.5 acres of water up to 50 feet deep. Larger systems with multiple diffusers are needed for larger or irregularly shaped ponds.

Yes. The compressor is placed onshore and can be placed up to one mile away from the shoreline using a manifold and trenching pvc tubing back to the compressor.

The compressor is housed in a weatherproof, sound-reducing cabinet. It operates quietly and is suitable for use near homes and cabins

Yes. Robust-Aire is ideal for winter use. It helps keep a hole open in the ice, preventing fish kills by maintaining oxygen levels under the surface.

Not if positioned correctly. The system is engineered to gently circulate upward through your entire water column.

No. It’s designed to run 24/7 for maximum benefit. You can add a timer if desired, but continuous operation supports consistent water quality.

Minimal. Clean or replace the air filter on the compressor annually and check diffusers if you notice reduced bubble output. The sure-sink tubing boasts a 15-year warranty and the diffuser boasts a lifetime warranty.

Yes. The weighted tubing allows you to reposition diffusers if needed, though it’s best to determine optimal placement ahead of time for consistent circulation.

Yes. The diffusers help keep algae under control by moving water and adding oxygen throughout the pond. When the water is always circulating, there are fewer still or stagnant areas where algae can grow. Circulation also keeps nutrients from sitting at the surface, where sunlight helps algae spread quickly.
