The Compressor

Not only are these rugged rocking piston compressors are designed and built to meet the demanding needs of 24/7 year round aeration for your pond, they are fully serviceable with readily available replacement parts, unlike many cheap compressors.

For over 100 years, Gast Manufacturing, Inc. has been a leader in the design and manufacturing of quality air-moving products. They specialize in offering cost effective solutions for a wide variety of industries including industrial manufacturing, healthcare, and aquaculture and environmental cleanup applications.

These oil-less piston compressors are designed for intermittent or continuous duty, include an intake air filter assembly, rubber mounting feet and brass hose fitting for easy implementation into your existing system. Each compressor has a 5’ power cord. These Gast compressors are distributed by EasyPro Ponds Products as Stratus SRC25 rocking piston compressors.

This 1/4 HP compressor is perfect for aerating ponds up to 1 acre with 1 diffuser in water up to 50 feet deep.

The Diffuser:

These 2-Stick Diffusers are designed to provide maximum circulation in your pond, leading to increased oxygen levels and a healthy pond environment. The diffuser is self weighted, so it automatically sinks to the bottom of the pond, making installation easy. The diffuser sticks are made form PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) which is a non-stick material, have the same effect as air stones but are virtually maintenance free. Each 2-stick diffuser plate also comes with a check valve to prevent back pressure to your compressor.

The Weighted Airline Tubing:

The airline tubing included in this aeration system is self weighted, so it automatically sinks to the bottom of the pond without the need for bricks or blocks to anchor it down, making installation a breeze. Our airline tubing is manufactured from high quality PVC, and will retain its flexibility and integrity for many years. Plus it is made in Canada!
