A 1 HP bottom-diffused aeration system that brings oxygen to ponds up to 6 acres and 50 feet deep — cleaner, clearer water in as little as 90 days.
The Airmax PS60 works from the bottom up, adding oxygen right where muck and organic debris settle. A shore-mounted compressor pushes air through multiple weighted diffusers on the pond floor, creating rising bubble columns that circulate the entire water column and prevent thermal stratification. With more dissolved oxygen and active natural bacteria, excess nutrients get metabolized instead of building up — leaving you with cleaner, clearer water and noticeably less muck, often within 90 days.
Coverage scales with diffuser count and pond depth — see the sizing details below.
Whisper-quiet 1 HP rocking piston compressor with SmartStart Technology for safe pressurized restarts.
Faux-rock composite cabinet blends into the landscape while protecting internal components — 10-year warranty.
Install at the water's edge or up to 1/4 mile away — no electrician required with Airmax EasySet airline.
Runs 24/7 for as little as $51.90 per month in electricity.
Most ponds show visibly cleaner, clearer water within the first three months of continuous operation.
With the base 5-diffuser configuration, the deeper your pond, the more surface area the PS60 can effectively aerate. Selecting the 6-diffuser configuration extends maximum coverage up to 6 acres:
| Pond Depth | Aeration Coverage (5 Diffusers) |
|---|---|
| 6' – 9' deep | Up to 2.5 acres |
| 9' – 12' deep | Up to 3.5 acres |
| Over 12' deep | Up to 5 acres |

The heart of the system is a set of whisper-quiet SilentAir rocking piston compressors built with SmartStart Technology to protect against pressurized restarts after a power interruption. Each highly efficient 115V or 230V compressor uses rubber mounts to reduce noise and vibration for silent operation. Backed by a 3-year warranty.
An ETL-certified composite cabinet with a faux-rock finish blends into any landscape while protecting the compressor and electrical components. An elevated base guards against flood water, and a ventilation fan with rain shroud keeps things cool and dry. Backed by a 10-year warranty.
Airmax simplifies airflow management to each diffuser plate with dual 4-port manifolds featuring nickel-plated ball valves, braided hose sleeves that protect internal airlines from wear, and quick disconnects for fast, secure connections and easy removal for storage. This system is set up for 5/8" airline only.
High-efficiency membrane diffusers release fine oxygen bubbles into the water column without the maintenance headaches of traditional air stones. An integrated check valve prevents backpressure on the compressor, and the weighted sled keeps each diffuser upright and submerged during installation. Backed by a 5-year warranty.
If your PS60's compressor has failed, the genuine Airmax T100 (RP100) 1 HP replacement motor is a direct fit.

The base configuration with 5 diffusers covers up to 5 acres in deep water. Selecting the 6-diffuser configuration extends maximum coverage to 6 acres.
Can the cabinet be installed far from the pond?
Yes — the compressor cabinet can sit at the water's edge or up to 1/4 mile away, connected by airline, so you're not limited to running power right to the shoreline.
Do I need an electrician to install this?
No special wiring is required at the pond itself — Airmax EasySet airline delivers oxygen to the water while the compressor plugs into a standard outlet at the cabinet location.
What airline size does this system need?
The PS60 is set up for 5/8" airline only. You can add 500 or 600 ft rolls at checkout, or purchase airline separately.
How long until I see results?
Most pond owners notice visibly cleaner, clearer water within about 90 days of continuous operation.
What's covered under warranty?
The ProAir diffusers and EasySet airline are covered for 5 years, the compressor and electrical components for 3 years, and the composite cabinet for 10 years.
My compressor stopped working — can I buy just that part?
Yes — the T100 (RP100) 1 HP replacement compressor is sold separately and is a direct fit for the PS60.
