An aeration set with a diffuser (Jecod air pump + diffuser + hose + hose clamp + hose connector + pipe elbow) helps prevent pond stall and still water, reduces algae growth, and creates a blissful environment for fish growth. In the winter, the aeration set helps prevent oxygen depletion in the pond. The set keeps part of the pond ice-free, allowing gas exchange and oxygen replenishment.
Jecod series membrane air pumps are cost-effective. They have high efficiency, durability, and low energy consumption. We recommend to choose the air compressor based on the pond area:
- up to 300 m²: PA-35 (20 W)
- 300 – 600 m²: PA-45 (25 W)
- 600 – 900 m²: PA-60 (38 W)
- 900 – 1200 m²: PA-80 (55 W)
- 1200 – 1500 m²: PA-100 (65 W)
- 1500+ m²: PA-200 (210 W)
- For keeping a swimming spot open in the winter, we recommend models PA-60 (38 W) or above.
The aeration set has a membrane diffuser (EPDM or silicone). Thanks to the smooth surface of the membrane, it does not get clogged over time. The “holes” on the membranes are designed for maximum aeration. Generally, silicone membrane has a longer lifespan and higher temperature tolerance compared to EPDM.
The set also includes a 20 m triple-layer reinforced hose, 2 x stainless steel clamps 12 – 22 mm, and a pipe elbow, but the quantity can be adjusted in the drop-down menu.
All components are pre-assembled – just install the set in a suitable location such as a dock, pond edge, or sauna terrace. The aerator must operate above water level. Do not place the air pump on ice! If the air pump falls into the water, it may cause short circuits and damage.
The diffuser should be placed 1 – 1.5 m below the water surface. Attach a weight (e.g. a stone, not included) to the elbow connector with a string to keep it submerged.
Aerator Maintenance
To prevent moisture damage, cover the compressor with a protective box. Clean the air filter at least once per season. Replace the membranes every 2 – 3 years for optimal performance.
