The Boilermaker is a pond aerator designed to provide oxygen transfer and high-volume water circulation for medium residential ponds. Its low-profile design produces a powerful white-boil effect of highly aerated water without creating a tall spray pattern.
This 1½ hp, 230-volt configuration moves 600 gallons of water per minute. It is intended for ponds greater than ¼ acre and requires a minimum water depth of 38 inches.
The unit uses a stainless-steel, oil-free submersible motor and is designed for continuous operation in fresh water and salt water. It can also remain installed during winter and function as a pond de-icer.
