A floating pond fountain that operates all year is your best defense against the aforementioned problems.

With that we proudly introduce our Air Max™ Aeration unit
Effective aeration is not a factor of how many gallons per hour that is moved, but rather how the movement effects the total volume of your pond. Other units and pond treatments and pond chemicals fail to be effective by only churning water on the surface, and they can be extremely noisy. In comparison, the Air-Max’ intake is located deep below the surface, which provides quiet operation, and aids in the break up of thermal stratification in your pond. This increased circulation helps release the toxic gases, while increasing the disolved oxygen level in the water.

The difference is truly amazing.

Our 1/2 horsepower Air Max™ operating 24/7 will cost you less in annual electric charges, when compared to the larger motors required to achieve the same result on other units. Utility charges alone will be many times that of our Air Max™. It is painfully obvious for competitors that our Air Max™ aeration unit is far superior to any unit they currently produce. Custom Fountains has been selling the Air Max™ floating aerator unit for over two DECADES. With that much time and experience, we are proud to provide you with a product of quality, innovation, and energy efficiency.

The Air-Max™ Floating Aerator easily converts to a Sub-Surface Aerator

For the ultimate in aeration efficiency the Air Max/S™ is used. Homogenized air and water under pressure create opposing air entrained currents and is the superior choice in pond aeration. The Chart below indicates how different our Air Max/S™ is in relation to a typical noisy, and inefficient on shore compressor unit using a diffuser plate.

Above: The Air-Max/S™, shows its intake located near the bottom of your pond. The colder, oxygen starved water is sucked in, mixed with air, then the entrained air is expelled in opposing currents. These streams create a current, which goes out 40+ feet and is then pulled back toward the bottom of the pond by the intake system. This large volume of water provides very effective turnover rates in your body of water.
Below: The noisy shore mounted compressor, pumps air to the diffuser, which then generates an air and water current toward the surface . These noisy units can provide added aeration in the water, but may take a long time before you see any results.

You should never use a bottom diffuser system in an emergency situation.

Now that we have covered some aeration basics, let us look at some of the additional benefits of the Air-Max™ pond aeration system. Should you choose to purchase our Air Max™ with lights, it will become a fish feeder by attracting insects to the lights, where the spray pattern knocks them to the waters surface. This will keep those summer evenings next to the pond more visually pleasing, and pleasant for all to enjoy.
Finally, you have the option of a fountain with the above surface spray pattern, or the Air-Max/S™ with the subsurface aeration nozzle. The “Dual Air-Max™” is available in a 1HP model which not only has an above surface fountain spray, but also has the below surface aeration nozzle, operating at the same time. No need to physically change the nozzles. The Dual Air Max is truly a masterpiece of innovation, and practicality in the concept of aeration.

Year Round Operation

The Air-Max Pond Aerator is available in several cable lengths and includes a FIVE YEAR limited warranty. User installed options include, interchangeable nozzles and lighting. The optional light system uses dual fixtures. The Air-Max is available in 1/2 HP and 1 HP models.

The Air-Max/S is designed for locations where aeration and circulation are desirable, but a water pattern above the surface is not. The balanced discharge jets simplify anchoring and help too maintain an ice free area in winter. The unit accepts a variety of interchangeable Air-Max™ nozzles for quick conversion to above surface operation. This allows seasonal changes for aesthetic or evaporation needs.

The Dual Air-Max™ provides a complete solution for those who are concerned with sub-surface aeration and fountain effect. The unit comes with control valves, which allows you to regulate the two different nozzles to the desired height or aeration. The Dual Air-Max™ is available in both vertical and horizontal configurations. With the optional horizontal mounting the unit can be operated in as little as 30" of water. As with all of the Air-Max units it comes with a Franklin stainless steel motor and stainless steel pump end for long life.

The Dual Air-Max™ is a great addition to your pond or lake in the winter months. You can valve off the fountain nozzle and continue to provide circulation and aeration for your pond. This can keep an opening in the ice for dissipation of toxic gasses. While moving water freezes at a lower temperature, if it’s cold enough, long enough, your pond could still freeze over. The Air-Max™ with its rugged fiberglass float body can remain in the pond under icing conditions.

The Air-Max™ Advantage

The Air-Max™ is a complete fountain system with features developed from over two decades of practical experience with fountain and aerator designs as well as installation and service. Built from quality components, the Air-Max™ is competitively priced with other manufacturers products that have little to none of its design advantages.
