Surface Aerator
Surface Aerator
Surface aerators work at the top of your pond, helping to circulate the water, introduce oxygen, and break up algae and film that can build up on the surface. Each type of aerator uses a pump to expel water into the air, allowing it to come into contact with oxygen (and other gases), which is then carried back into the pond.
In addition to these most common types of surface aerators, we also carry pond fountains, pond diffusers and pond circulators. Not sure which type of aerator you need? Call our knowledgeable experts at 1-763-551-1441 for suggestions and advice tailored to your specific project.

Buying Considerations for Irrigation Pumps
When selecting an irrigation pump, consider several key factors to ensure you choose the right model for your needs. Evaluate the pump's flow rate (gallons per minute) and pressure (PSI) to match your irrigation system's requirements. Think about the distance and elevation water needs to be moved, as this impacts pump performance. Also, consider the water source – whether it's a shallow pond or a deeper lake – to determine if you need a self-priming or submersible pump.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of irrigation pump is best for a lake?
For drawing water from a lake, a powerful centrifugal pump or a submersible pump is often recommended. Centrifugal pumps are excellent for high flow rates, while submersible pumps are ideal for deeper water sources and quieter operation.
How do I determine the right pump size for my property?
To determine the correct pump size, you need to calculate the total dynamic head (TDH) and the required flow rate for your irrigation system. This involves considering factors like elevation, friction loss in pipes, and the water volume needed for your sprinklers or drip lines.
Can these pumps be used for agricultural irrigation?
Yes, many of our irrigation pumps are suitable for agricultural use, capable of handling larger volumes of water for crops and fields. Look for models with higher GPM ratings and durable construction for demanding agricultural applications.
