Pond Equipment
Electrical Aerators
We are proud to be the Ontario distributors of Otterbine
Barebo aerators. Water quality management
is a matter
of pride at Otterbine Barebo. Otterbine has set the industry
standards for aeration for more than 50 years. Their goal
is to develop the most natural energy-efficient, versatile,
technologically advanced and easy to use methods for treating
water quality problems. Their dedicated team of engineers
is continually seeking to improve and refine their existing
products and exolore new possibilities in aeration. With
over 100,000 Otterbine aerators in use today their return
rate is less than 2%.
Otterbine Aerators provide natural solutions for your
water quality problems by assisting in the biological breakdown
of excessive nutrients in your pond or lake. By inducing
oxygen into the water column Otterbine aerators support
aerobic bacteria in consuming waste, fertilizer and other
nutrient run-off that lead to algae blooms, foul odours
and fish kills. Otterbine offers aeration and fountain
systems from 1/6 HP to 25 HP in both surface and sub-surface
configurations.

Aerators come in many sizes and shapes. Fitting
an aerator to a pond is akin to fitting shoes to
your feet - you don't want them to be too small or
too big. The following is some of the more popular
aerators that we distribute. They are all manufactured
by Otterbine Barebo Inc. with the best warranty in
the market place. All of these aerators are easy
to set up - just plug them
in! Most of these aerators are easy to set up.

Little Titan Aerator
The Little Titan aerator is ideal for ponds that
are 1/4 acre in size. This 1/6 Hp aerator
moves 120 gpm yet costs only about 25 ¢ a
day to run (at current Hydro One rates). The spray
height is 0.3 m (1 ft) and the spray diameter is
0.9 m (3 ft). They are equipped with 15 m (50 ft)
of SJOOW underwater cable but additional cord lengths
are available. While the 115 volt model is by far
the most popular model but a 230 volt model is
also available. Contact us for further info or
visit www.otterbine.com.

Starburst Aerator
The Starburst aerator is similar to the Little
Titan in that it is a 1/6 Hp motor. However the
Starburst sprays higher at 0.6 m (2 ft) and wider
at 2.2 m (8 ft). The Starburst moves 99 GPM and
is significantly quieter than the Little Titan.
Cable length, operating costs, etc. are the same
as for the Little Titan. Contact Silver Creek for
further info or visit www.otterbine.com

AquaSeries Aerator
This newest addition to the Otterbine line was
launched in 2004 and has proven to be quite popular.
It is the next step up from the Little Titan and
Starburst with a 1/4 Hp or 1/2 Hp motor. They are
excellent aerators for ponds from ½ to 1
acre. They have two interchangable patterns - the
AquaGem shown on the left and the AquaBlast in
the inset. Most pond owners prefer the AqauGem
setting. The spray height of a 1/4 Hp Aquagem is
0.9 m (3 ft) while the spray diameter is 2.1 m
(7 ft). A two light set is also available. Lights
are very useful feature as they attract a great
number of insects. The insects are knocked down
by the cascading water and become a source of food
for your fish. It sounds unlikely, but the fish
actually gravitate toward the fountain one the
lights are on, knowing that food will soon be there!
The 1/4 Hp comes with a 15m (50 ft) cord, while
the 1/2 Hp has a 30 m (100 ft) cord.

Windmills:
Koenders windmills provide ponds with a reliable
air supply when there is a wind blowing. They are
a low maintenance aeration option particularly suitable
where hydro
is inaccessible.
12, 16 or 20 foot windmills are available. 2 water
pumping features are available, deep well and shallow
pond. Koenders Windmills provide an alternative aeration
solution.

Koenders Windmill is often all the maintenance
you need to achieve quality water for a wide variety
of applications from livestock, irrigation, spraying,
gardening, fish farming, golf courses, Park Management,
recreational use, Wastewater Management, even household
use.
You can also significantly reduce the risk of
West Nile Virus.
Preventative measures for the spread of West
Nile begin with aeration of any stagnant water
bodies. Koenders Aeration systems are a perfect
fit for the job. Help save Human and Animal lives
from this deadly disease whether on the Golf Course,
or in your back yard pond.
- Constant water circulation, will help disrupt
the maturation cycle of the Mosquito
- Safe, natural alternative for keeping our Mosquito
population down
The Koenders Windmill's continuous production
of air/oxygen is constantly fed to stagnant, unhealthy
water - even during winter. This perpetual oxygen
circulation ensures the entire body of water is
maintained, healthy and won't deteriorate during
any season.
