A reliable, oil-less rocking piston compressor built for the demanding job of 24-hour pond aeration — ideal for summer aeration and winter de-icing alike.
Stratus SRC "Gen 2" compressors are purpose-built for continuous-duty pond and lake aeration — great for summertime aeration and winter de-icing alike. The oil-free design keeps electricity out of the water, and the shore-mounted compressor pushes air through tubing to a bottom-mounted diffuser (tubing and diffuser sold separately) for safe, effective aeration.
No oil to leak into your water, with permanently lubricated bearings for long service life.
Starts reliably under load, even after a power interruption.
Available in 115V or 230V to match your existing electrical setup.
Die-cast components and a hard-coated cylinder for overall strength and wear resistance.
Superior quality piston cup material built for increased reliability over time.
Backed by a 2-year limited warranty.

Does this include tubing and a diffuser?
No — tubing and a diffuser are sold separately, so you can size them to your specific pond setup.
Can this run continuously?
Yes — it's specifically built for the demanding job of 24/7 operation, including winter de-icing use.
Is this safe for my fish and plants?
Yes — the compressor stays on shore and pushes air through tubing to a diffuser in the water, so no electricity ever enters the pond.
What's the warranty?
This compressor is backed by a 2-year limited warranty.
