Aquascape 75000 Pond Air 2 (Double Outlet Aeration Kit)

I wanted an air pump and air stones for my pond.My pond consists of a partially buried 350 gallon stock tank, with a 20 gallon lined whiskey barrel waterfall, and a 55 gallon bio-filter.I mounted the air pump up high under my elevated deck, which is behind my pond. I made a shelf for the pump, drilled holes in that shelf for the electrical cord and tubing to route downwards. I also drilled additional holes under the pump for added ventilation. I placed a plastic shoe storage box upside down over the pump. I used four screws as "legs" to give the pump an added gap for ventilation while still giving it optimum protection from the elements.The hoses that are included are very nice quality. I ran these two hoses inside of 1/2" drip irrigation line and routed that parallel to the intake and outlet pipes for the bio-filter and buried all of the pipes. Running the air hoses inside of the drip irrigation line keeps the air hoses from getting pinched. For my specific need I then attached this drip irrigation line to a barbed fitting and that attached to 1/2" PVC pipe. I ran that pipe through the side of the stock tank through a 1/2" uniseal. The result is that the tubing is nice and safe inside of the drip irrigation line. It is buried. It is all HIDDEN.The pump is pretty quiet. It's not noticeable where I have it placed up under my deck. It's about 6 feet above the ground. The waterfall and my other water feature in the yard drown out any air pump sound.The pump puts out a decent amount of bubbles. My stock tank pond is two feet deep and the air stones are resting on the bottom. It's a good amount of aeration for this size of pond.I don't think that I would be impressed with this pump for a larger pond. This is really a large aquarium air pump. It's not going to do much for a large pond. For my purposes, which is about 375-400 gallons of total water volume, it is a perfect pump.If you have a BIG pond, you probably would be disappointed in this pump's performance. I doubt that it would produce much air if the air stones were in water more than two feet deep.Oh yeah, I thought I should mention that I ran this pump and air stones as a test BEFORE I installed it. There is NO difference in airflow after I installed it in the drip irrigation line and buried it. I thought some of you might think the performance was affected by my installation. It was not affected at all.To sum up: I am happy. I have a small pond. If you have a pond of 600+ gallons you would probably want to go with a more powerful set up. If your pond is in the thousands of gallons range then this pump would be very inadequate.I am 100% satisfied with this pump for MY size pond. When the pump dies I might replace it with this same one. We shall see. So far, so good...

I bought the Aquascape Pond Air 2 kit last October. It recently stopped working, so I reached out under warranty expecting maybe a small part or some troubleshooting advice. To my surprise, they sent me a whole new kit — no hassle, no back and forth. That kind of support is rare these days.The system itself works great, and now I have peace of mind knowing Aquascape stands behind their products. I’ll be sticking with them for all my pond needs going forward.

I bought this aerator for our pond for winter time. We live in Indiana and the last winter was brutal with a lot of snow and frigid temperatures. I read a lot of reviews and ultimately decided to purchase this aerator because it comes with everything you need (back flow valve already installed, unlike other models -- who wants to have to make another purchase to make previous purchase usable?) and ample sized air stones. In some reviews people complained about the air stones flipping or not sinking, despite being weighted. My pond is only about 3 feet deep, and mine sank fine, I did have to watch them to make sure they didn't flip (and if they did they're easy to put them right side up) but I didn't have to add additional weight to them to keep them right side up, maybe that's because my pond isn't very deep, I don't know. I waited to write my review because I wanted to let my aerator run for several weeks to see how it would do. Like other reviews, I think it's silly it's not an "outdoor" aerator and has to be covered, but I set the pump on two bricks and used a small sterilite storage container with rocks on top, to cover it and keep it out of the elements. It's been running perfectly since the moment I plugged it in, and puts out ample air for my fish. We just had 6 inches of snow fall last night, and the pond has started to freeze and my aerator is still doing great. It was super easy to install by myself too, and the directions were very clear and tell you how to use the aerator specifically in winter time -- i.e., move the air stones from the bottom of your pond to half the depth of your pond. I'll update my review in the spring though to let you know how it did over our winter. I have been very impressed with the ease of use with this aerator, it's basically fool proof.
