The Shallow Water Series SW20 aeration system is designed for shallow ponds where efficient oxygen delivery and quiet operation are essential. By supplying air to bottom-mounted diffusers, the system creates rising bubble columns that circulate water and help prevent stagnant areas.
Higher oxygen levels support beneficial bacteria that naturally break down excess nutrients and organic waste. This process helps reduce muck buildup, improve water clarity, and lower long-term maintenance, with noticeable improvements often seen within the first season.
Why Choose the Shallow Water Series SW20?
-
Shallow Pond Optimized: Designed specifically for ponds up to 6 feet deep.
-
Energy Efficient: Linear diaphragm compressor delivers up to 2.5 CFM with very low operating cost.
-
Quiet Operation: Rubber-mounted compressor minimizes vibration and noise.
-
Flexible Installation: Can be installed at the shoreline or up to 1/4 mile away with no power required at the water.
-
Durable Cabinet: Faux rock composite cabinet protects components while blending into the landscape.
-
Low Maintenance Diffusers: Self-weighted membrane diffusers resist clogging and stay upright on the pond bottom.
System Components

PRO TIP
For best coverage in shallow ponds, place diffusers evenly apart rather than clustering them. Balanced spacing improves circulation and helps prevent low-oxygen zones.
