The Koenders Single Diaphragm Windmill Aeration System uses nothing but the wind to keep your pond healthy. As the windmill turns, it drives a bottom-mounted air compressor that pushes oxygen to the bottom of your pond through a submerged airstone. This bottom-up aeration circulates the entire water column, prevents stratification and stagnant water, and helps stop pond turnover and winter fish kills, all with no electricity and no chemicals.
The single diaphragm system is ideal for smaller ponds up to about 1 acre and depths up to 25 feet. It runs a single airstone diffuser and begins producing air in winds as low as 3 to 5 mph.

Choosing your tower height
Taller towers reach cleaner, steadier wind, so choose based on your site. Open, exposed sites can use a shorter tower, while sites with trees, buildings or rolling terrain benefit from a taller tower to clear the turbulence. If you are unsure, contact our team and we will help you size the right system.
