Why Aerate a Shallow Pond?

Shallow ponds and irregularly shaped water bodies present a unique aeration challenge — less depth means each diffuser covers less area, so many systems end up oversized and overpriced. The SW20 solves this with two dedicated diffuser plates that spread coverage across separate areas of your pond, reaching bends and shallow zones a single large diffuser can't. The result is reduced algae growth, fewer foul odors, and healthier, better-oxygenated water for your fish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a shallow pond need two diffusers instead of one bigger one?

Less water depth means each diffuser covers a smaller area, so spreading two plates across separate zones gives more even coverage than a single large diffuser would in shallow or irregularly shaped ponds.

How far can the cabinet be from the pond?

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'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 LR25 (SW20) replacement compressor is sold separately and is a direct fit for the SW20.
