A good aeration system is designed to operate 24 hours a day,

365 days a year.

Older established ponds can have excessive amounts of decaying organic material that release toxic gases. These gases are detrimental to the health of your pond and fish by depleting the oxygen level in the water. These gases also produce an environment of oxygen starved water that insects and algae can thrive in. These gases can also be a problem during the winter as your pond freezes over the gases become trapped under the ice, therefore starving the water of oxygen. A floating pond fountain that operates all year is your best defense against the aforementioned problems.
With that we proudly introduce the Air Max™ Pond Aerator 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 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 deep water circulation helps release the toxic gases, while increasing the oxygen level in the water of your pond.

The difference is truly amazing.

The Air-Max™ Pond Aerator depicted above has a standard nozzle, and a 1/2 HP motor. This produces a 45 ft diameter spray pattern, and pulls water from deep below the surface,
allowing for proper aeration and circulation throughout your pond.
Other units, depicted below that pull their water from the top 1 or 2 feet, and having an 8 to 10 ft diameter spray pattern, do not provide proper circulation and aeration to your pond. It's all about DISPERSMENT, not VOLUME and HORSEPOWER... that's what makes our aerator very different from the rest: DISPERSMENT
Providing you with the best value for your dollar is our concern as well as yours. The effectiveness of our Air Max with the standard nozzle and 1/2 horse power motor, will provide better aeration and circulation, and is more energy efficient than most other systems using 2, 3, or even 5 horsepower motors. The energy savings alone, puts the Air-Max™ Pond Aeration unit in a class above the competitions unit.

Our 1/2 horsepower Air Max™ operating 24/7 is much more efficient than any of our competitors.  When compared to the operating cost of larger motors used 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™ unit is far superior to any unit they currently produce. Mr. Mom's has been manufacturing the Air Max™ for over two DECADES. With that much time and experience, we are proud to provide you with a product of quality, innovation, and energy efficient.

The Air-Max™ 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™ 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 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 manufacturing, 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. The Air-Max™ pictured below is one of eight units installed in a city reservoir producing better results at a cheaper cost than some competitor's solar or powered units.
