Scott Aerator Bubble Pro Max XL Sub-Surface Aerator

Installing a sub-surface aeration system is a beneficial method for improving both water quality and oxygen levels while preserving the natural look of your pond. This particular type of aerator has four diffuser modules placed on the pond floor, connected by weighted tubing to an onshore air compressor. The compressor supplies essential air to the pond's base, ensuring sufficient oxygen levels during warm summer months.

Air is pushed from the compressor through a weighted airline to the diffusers located at the bottom of the pond. As the air reaches the diffuser, it creates thousands of small bubbles that rise to the surface, creating a current. This current lifts water from the bottom of the pond to the surface, where it is replenished with oxygen from the atmosphere.

The Bubble Pro Max XL includes four diffusers, four 100-foot lengths of 3/8" Quick Sink weighted tubing, a 3/4-hp rocking-piston compressor, a valved air outlet assembly with individual hose controls and a pressure relief valve, as well as all necessary fittings and clamps. This aerator is designed for simple installation and includes a two-year warranty. It is also offered in a 230-volt power option.

The Bubble Pro Max XL works as a pond de-icer too!

Coverage area:

1 acre at 5 to 8-foot pond depth

2 acres at 9 to 12-foot pond depth

4 acres at 13 to 16-foot pond depth
