Airmax

Airmax — natural pond solutions backed by real field research

Airmax was founded with a straightforward mission: improve how pond owners care for their ponds using solutions that are safe, natural, and simple to use. That focus has made Airmax one of the most recognized brands among pond and lake owners, built on a decade of real-world testing and field studies rather than marketing claims.

Where most pond equipment companies focus purely on hardware, Airmax takes an ecosystem approach — pairing their aeration and fountain systems with natural water treatments designed to work together. The result is a more complete pond management system rather than individual products that don't consider each other.

Your Pond Pros is an authorized Airmax dealer. We carry their full lineup of fountains, aeration systems, surface aerators, circulators, and water treatments.

The Airmax lineup

Fountain Aeration

Airmax builds four fountain series covering ponds from small residential water features up to large commercial lakes — each designed to provide both visual display and meaningful surface aeration simultaneously.

EcoSeries — Airmax's entry-level aerating fountain, designed for smaller ponds and water gardens. Practical, reliable, and straightforward to install. A solid starting point for pond owners adding their first fountain.

PondSeries — The most popular Airmax fountain for residential backyard ponds. Balances display quality with aeration performance and comes in multiple horsepower options to match different pond sizes. The PondSeries is the fountain we recommend most often for standard residential applications.

SolarSeries — Solar-powered aerating fountains for ponds without convenient power access. No wiring, no electrician, no ongoing electricity cost. The right choice for farm ponds, remote properties, and any situation where running power to the water's edge isn't practical.

All Airmax fountain series are compatible with their LED light kits for nighttime display.

Diffused Aeration

Airmax diffused aeration systems push air to weighted diffuser plates on the pond floor, creating rising bubbles that circulate the full water column from bottom to top. This is the most effective approach for deeper ponds where surface aeration alone doesn't reach the lower water layers where oxygen depletion and muck accumulation occur.

Both electric and solar diffused aeration systems are available, covering ponds from small residential scale up to multi-acre lakes. The solar diffused aeration option is particularly well-suited to remote ponds where continuous bottom-up circulation is needed without electrical infrastructure.

Surface Aeration — PowerHouse

The Airmax PowerHouse surface aerator is their high-volume water movement system — designed for commercial applications where maximum oxygen transfer and circulation across a large surface area is the primary goal. The PowerHouse line is built for retention ponds, water treatment applications, aquaculture, and larger residential lakes where visual display is secondary to water quality performance.

Circulators — Ice Eater

The Airmax PowerHouse Ice Eater is a winter circulator designed to keep an ice-free area around docks and waterfront structures by drawing warmer water up from below the surface. It's one of the most widely used dock de-icing solutions available — practical, energy-efficient, and designed for continuous winter operation.

Water Treatments

Airmax's natural water treatment line is what sets them apart from most pond equipment brands. Their treatments are the result of over a decade of research and field testing, formulated to work alongside their aeration systems as part of a complete pond ecosystem approach.

Their PRO Solutions line includes treatments for professional pond managers and serious pond owners dealing with persistent water quality challenges. Their DIY Solutions line covers the most common residential pond treatment needs — algae control, muck reduction, water clarification, and pond dye.

Airmax also owns CrystalClear, which has been the market leader in water garden treatments for over 20 years — the first choice among pond owners for biological treatments and EPA registered algaecides.

LED Light Kits

Airmax LED light kits are designed to pair with their fountain and surface aerator lineup, turning daytime water features into nighttime focal points. Available in multiple configurations for different fountain sizes and display preferences.

What makes Airmax different

Field-tested, not just marketed — Airmax backs their product claims with actual field studies. Their research includes documented studies on aeration effectiveness, muck reduction, midge fly reduction, and water clarity improvement — results measured in real ponds under real conditions, not laboratory settings. You can read their field studies on airmaxeco.com.

Ecosystem approach — Airmax designs their products to work together. Their aeration systems are developed alongside their water treatments so each enhances the other's effectiveness. Most pond equipment brands sell hardware and leave you to figure out the chemistry separately. Airmax integrates both.

Natural and safe — Every Airmax product is developed with the goal of providing effective results without harsh chemicals. Their treatments use beneficial bacteria, natural enzymes, and EPA registered solutions where necessary — not the kind of aggressive chemical treatments that harm fish, plants, or the surrounding environment.

Pond owners first — Airmax's design philosophy prioritizes ease of use for the pond owner, not just technical performance. Their systems are built to be installed and maintained by the people who own the ponds, not professional service technicians.
