Windmill aeration is particularly effective in scenarios where:
- Remote or Off-Grid Locations: Areas without easy access to electricity can benefit immensely from wind-powered aeration.
- Cost-Effective Aeration: Windmill aerators are an economical choice, reducing energy bills and maintenance costs.
- Eco-Friendly Solutions: For those seeking sustainable and environmentally friendly options, windmill aerators offer a green alternative to eliminate or reduce power consumption.
- Supplemental Aeration: In larger lakes, windmill aeration can complement electric systems, ensuring efficient oxygen distribution.
- Aesthetic Appeal: For those who enjoy a farmhouse and traditional style, windmill aeration systems are the perfect choice to beautify your water feature.
Applications
- Farm ponds and dugouts
- Waste water and Sewage lagoons
Maximizing Efficiency
Windmill Height
When selecting your windmill height consider the wind conditions in your area, and the surroundings. Ideally locate your windmill in an area free from obstructions. However If there are tall trees you might want to consider a lower tower or contrary for lower trees consider a tall tower. Moreover if the windmill will be located in a valley the tower needs to be tall. Typically the taller the windmill the more wind it can access, providing more airflow.
Single and Dual Diaphragm Windmill Aerator sizes: 12’, 16’,20’ and 24’.
Windmill Positioning
The efficiency of a windmill aerator is directly influenced by its height, positioning and wind availability. By placing the windmill in a higher location and optimizing its actual height, you will increase its exposure to wind. This results in enhanced wind capture and a more effective aeration process.

My Irrigation Pond
Clark has a 10-acre farm and uses his pond for irrigation. He has a Koenders 12ft Windmill and uses Nature's Pond Conditioner Ultra Concentrate. He is very proud of his pond and you can see why. See the before and after pictures below.

Sue's Happy With the Campgrounds Lagoon
We have been using the Koenders Aeration Windmill and their Nature’s Pond Blend on our campground lagoon for less than a year and it is making a huge difference in the clarity of the lagoon water at our campground.
Even this early in the season, I am able to see down almost 4 feet compared to no visibility last year at all. I haven’t measured our total suspended solids yet this year but have a filter installation planned for our pumps to address this. I will keep you posted!
The first photo was before and the next was just a few weeks after installing the windmill and putting in the Nature’s Pond Blend late in the fall. You can see it started to work right away.

Impressed with How Well it Works!
We have been using Nature’s Pond Conditioner for several years now to treat our large pond with great results and have since added one of the Koenders Aeration Windmills to add the additional aeration we felt our pond was missing.
We are impressed how well it works to provide sufficient air to all 3 diffusers.
