Small Aeration System (SAS)

SAS means 'Small Aeration System'. These simple units are often sufficient for many homeowners with shallow ponds. We often describe these ponds as water gardens or decorative ponds. These homeowners often already have water pumps and waterfalls to help circulate the water, though these are not enough to give the water the level of aeration it truly needs 24/7.

SAS will also be excellent for providing an emergency or supplemental aeration system, or for making an oxygen refuge in the shallow bay of a larger pond to help reduce sediment build-up. In winter, if the compressor is placed in a heated shelter, the system can be left on to provide venting in ponds where organic matter is slowly decomposing, thus avoiding spring kill conditions for fish.

If your pond is deeper than 10 ft (3m), please look for systems with higher pressure compressors: the Mini-Air or the CanadianAir.

NOTES :

- The diffusers must be installed at a maximum water depth of 4' (10ft Maximum for the XL options) to avoid damaging the compressor diaphragm.

- If you require a longer length of air supply hose than the one included in the kit, please contact us to order and make sure that you do not experience any pressure drop.

- The compressor must be installed safely away from the elements, moisture and dust. We can provide a cabinet if necessary.

Warranty:

• Compressor: 1 year warranty

• Torpedo self-sinking air supply hose: 3 years warranty

• Piccolo diffuser - 1 year warranty
