EasyPro's best-selling Stratus SRC "Gen 2" rocking piston compressor, now with Sound Shield™ technology — the quietest compressor in its class, built for 24-hour pond aeration.
Stratus SRC "Gen 2" compressors are already EasyPro's best-selling line — Sound Shield™ technology adds a game-changing reduction in perceived loudness compared to competing compressors, all while staying built for the demanding job of running 24 hours a day. The oil-free rocking piston design keeps electricity out of the water and is safe for koi, fish, and other aquatic life. The compressor stays on shore and pushes air through tubing to a bottom-mounted diffuser (tubing and diffuser sold separately), oxygenating your pond and improving water quality and clarity.
A significant reduction in perceived loudness compared to standard compressors — runs under 70 dB.
No oil to leak into your water, with reliable, efficient compression built for continuous operation.
Designed specifically for the demanding job of round-the-clock pond aeration.
Stays on shore with no electricity entering the water — safe for koi, other fish, and aquatic plants.
Stratus SRC compressors and Sound Shield™ technology are assembled in the USA.
