This weatherproof water garden air pump increases oxygen in the summer months and helps prevent pond freezing during the winter. It also aids in circulating your pond. Fish and pond life require oxygen-rich water to remain strong and healthy, and beneficial bacteria in filtration systems need oxygen to flourish and keep your pond free from toxic waste. Aeration is crucial in warmer months when water holds less oxygen, as oxygenating plants use oxygen at night. This kit comes complete with an air stone and airline and includes a 3-year warranty.

FAQs
How often should I clean the air stone?
The frequency depends on pond conditions. Check and clean the air stone every few weeks or when bubble production decreases.
Where should I place the air pump?
Place the air pump in a sheltered, dry location near the pond, protected from rain and direct sunlight.
What size pond is this oxygenator suitable for?
The Blagdon Pond Oxygenator Kit - Standard is designed for ponds up to 2000 litres.
Does the oxygenator use a lot of electricity?
The energy consumption of the pump is relatively low, making it an energy-efficient way to aerate your pond.
What should I do if the air pump stops working?
Check the power supply, cord, and connections. If the issue persists, consult the warranty information.
How often should I replace the air stone?
The air stone should be replaced when it becomes clogged and cleaning does not restore its performance. The lifespan of an air stone varies.
Can I use this oxygenator with a fountain?
This kit is designed primarily for aeration and may not be suitable for use with a fountain. The primary goal is to oxygenate the water, not to create a water feature.
Troubleshooting
Air pump not working
Check the power supply and ensure the pump is plugged in correctly. Inspect the power cord for damage. Check the air pump's filter for blockages.
Air stone not producing bubbles
Check for kinks or blockages in the airline. Clean the air stone to remove debris. Ensure the air pump is working correctly.
Pond freezing in winter
Ensure the air pump and air stone are operating correctly. The oxygenator helps prevent the entire pond from freezing, but extremely cold temperatures may still cause some surface freezing.
Reduced water circulation
Check the air pump's output. Make sure that the airline is not blocked or kinked. Ensure that the air stone is free of debris and functioning properly.
