What pond size is this built for?
The base system is designed to serve ponds up to 1 acre and 30 ft deep. Adding a Small or Medium Pond Accessory Kit expands airline and diffuser coverage toward that limit.
Do I need an accessory kit?
Not necessarily — the base kit's single diffuser covers smaller ponds on its own. The Small and Medium kits add extra airline, diffuser capacity, and decoy markers for larger areas.
How much wind does it need to run?
It operates effectively starting in winds as low as 3–5 mph.
Do I need electricity to run this?
No — it's a fully mechanical, wind-powered system with no electrical hookup required.
What if my pond is larger than 1 acre?
Take a look at the OWS Deluxe Windmill, which is built with a dual-diffuser system for ponds up to 3 acres.
What's the warranty?
The compressor is backed by a 5-year warranty.
