Kasco 8400AF Pond Aerator
The Kasco 8400AF pond aerator is a powerful tool to help increase circulation and oxygenation in a pond of 2 acres or less. Due to it's aggressive bubbling action, it has a very high transfer rate of oxygen into the water.
The 2 HP motor draws 9.0 amps on a 240v power supply. Minimum operational depth is 20" making it a great tool for even very shallow ponds.
Like all the Kasco aerator packages, this one includes a float and two 50′ braided nylon mooring ropes and it's available with a 50′, 100′, 150′, or 200′ SJTOW underwater rated electrical power cord.
All Kasco pond aerators are self-contained, lightweight units that float at the surface with a single power cord returning to shore and two or three mooring lines anchoring the unit. The units are easily installed and maintained by a single person and have proven to be an excellent choice for both continuous duty pond or lake aeration and supplemental aeration for unique applications.
