Steel Windmill Pond Aerator | 4-Leg Tower | Deluxe Kit
Product Description + Steel Windmill Pond Aerator | 4-Leg Tower | Deluxe Kit The AWS0181 Deluxe Steel Windmill Pond Aerator is a fully off-grid aeration system designed for ponds up to 2–3 acres and depths up to 30 feet. Powered entirely by wind, it increases dissolved oxygen, reduces algae growth, and improves fish health—without electricity or monthly utility costs. Built with our BalCam II compressor technology, this 4-leg galvanized steel tower system produces up to 4.5 CFM of airflow while using fewer moving parts for lower maintenance and longer lifespan. Ideal for remote properties, ranches, subdivisions, and locations where electric power is unavailable or impractical. Key Features & Benefits + 100% Wind Powered Operates in wind speeds as low as 3–5 MPH with zero electricity required—perfect for remote ponds and off-grid properties. BalCam II Compressor Technology Single-diaphragm system pumps more air with fewer moving parts, reducing wear, maintenance, and long-term servicing costs. Deluxe Dual Diffuser System Includes two airstone diffusers with backflow protection and weighted airline for improved bottom-water circulation and oxygen transfer. Heavy-Duty 4-Leg Tower 18-gauge galvanized steel tower (20’ or 24’) maximizes wind capture and provides superior stability compared to lighter 3-leg designs. Self-Governing Head Protection 73" galvanized head automatically protects itself in high wind conditions, preventing overspin damage. Complete Installation Kit Includes tower hinges, airline, dual diffuser buckets, check valves, duck decoy markers, and all required aeration components.

Frequently Asked Questions + Q: How much pond can this windmill aerator handle? A: The Deluxe 4-Leg Windmill System is designed for ponds up to approximately 2–3 acres and depths up to 30 feet, depending on wind exposure and layout. Q: Does this system require electricity? A: No. It is completely wind-powered and operates in wind speeds as low as 3–5 MPH, making it ideal for remote or off-grid locations. Q: Is windmill aeration enough on its own? A: Windmill aeration is highly effective for supplemental and remote aeration. However, because wind is inconsistent, electric systems may provide more reliable 24-hour coverage in heavily stocked or high-risk ponds.
