The Aquascape 2-Outlet Pond Aeration Kit supplies air through two separate diffuser discs to support oxygenation and water movement in ponds up to 2,000 gallons. Its compact 6-watt compressor makes it a practical choice for warm-weather oxygen support, overnight aeration and properly configured winter gas exchange.
The complete kit includes two 25-foot airlines with pre-installed check valves and two round, weighted aeration discs. Spreading the discs apart helps circulate more of the pond instead of concentrating both bubble columns in one location.
Do not leave the aeration discs on the pond bottom during winter. Move them to approximately 12–18 inches below the surface so circulation does not disturb the deeper, warmer water where fish overwinter.
In regions with prolonged extreme cold, Aquascape recommends considering a pond de-icer in combination with aeration. Browse Blue Thumb’s seasonal pond-care products for available de-icer options.
It is rated for ponds up to 2,000 gallons, with a maximum recommended pond depth of 8.5 feet.
The kit includes the two-outlet compressor, two 4-inch aeration discs and two 25-foot silicone airlines with pre-installed check valves.
No. The second product image illustrates a possible pond layout. The skimmer, waterfall box, pond pump and other pond components shown are not part of this aeration kit.
The compressor must be kept in a dry indoor location protected from weather, dust and debris. It should be positioned above the pond water level and must never be submerged.
During normal warm-season operation, place the discs on the pond bottom and separate them to improve circulation. Small rocks or gravel may be used to conceal the tubing or help secure the discs without blocking airflow.
Yes. For winter operation, move the discs to approximately 12–18 inches below the water surface rather than leaving them on the bottom. The resulting surface movement can help maintain a small opening for gas exchange. A de-icer may also be appropriate during extended periods of extreme cold.
Unplug the compressor, then check that the airlines are not kinked or restricted and that the check valves face the correct airflow direction. Continued pressure loss may indicate that the replaceable diaphragm cartridge is worn. Individual replacement aeration discs are also available.
No. Aquascape instructs users not to use an extension cord. Connect the compressor to a properly grounded, GFCI-protected receptacle and follow all applicable electrical codes.
