Shallow Lake Aeration System

Product Diagram

Our shallow lake systems are recommended when the majority of the lake is 4 to 8 feet deep.

These Great Lakes shallow lake systems feature:

• Sweetwater oil less rotary vane compressors that include a muffler, inlet check valve, control valves, 0-30 psi liquid-filled pressure gauge and pressure relief valve. Compressors come factory wired for either 115V (standard) or 230V single-phase. Three-phase models, not wired, are also available.
• 4 diffuser manifold(s)
• Locking steel cabinet for the compressor

To complete the system, tubing, clamps and couplings will be required. We recommend polyethylene unweighted tubing on land and weighted tubing underwater. Choose either a 100' or 400' roll of unweighted tubing on land. If used in the lake, the unweighted tubing requires tie wraps and three-hole bricks (purchased locally) placed every 5-8' to weigh it down. Self-weighted tubing requires no weights, so it takes much less time to install. Both types of tubing can be connected using couplings and clamps (use 1/2" clamps for unweighted tubing and 3/4" clamps for weighted tubing). One coupling and two clamps per connection will be needed.

If you are unsure of your specific needs, we offer free sizing and estimates for these units to help ensure you receive the best system for your specific pond or lake needs. Minimum information requirements we need to size a system is:

• pond size (acres)
• pond depth
• location of power supply (distance from pond)
• type of power available (115V or 230V)
• rough pond sketch

Maintenance kits also available and include four sacrificial carbon vanes, gasket and two inlet filter elements.
