Power House 1/2 HP Surface Aerator - F500

PowerHouse F500 1/2 HP Surface Aerator by Bearon Aquatics The Power House, Inc’s Surface Aerators are unique in design, superior in construction, and outlast competitor’s models.Units are suitable for continuous operation and take just a few minutes to install right out of the box. As water flows through the bottom of the shroud and four additional holes, the propeller mixes and forces the water above the surface through our patented unique design. The high pumping volume degasses the water of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide while raising dissolved oxygen levels.  Degassing gets rid of nutrients that cause algae and weeds, resulting in both clearer water and decreased odor.  Aeration also mixes the water, minimizing anaerobic zones in bottom water and bottom sediment surface.  This stimulates the conversion of potentially toxic ammonia to nitrite (also toxic), and finally non-toxic nitrate. The Power House, Inc.’s units are shipped complete with mooring lines and power cord.  Each surface aerator is comprised of a sealed, submersible electric motor, mounted by support brackets in a PVC shroud, which sits on a custom-designed float collar.  Attached to the motor shaft is a nylon axial propeller which propels the water at a high volume. MODEL F500 Don’t let the size of our 1/2-hp surface aerator fool you…our F500 packs a powerful punch. Although small in stature, The Power House, Inc’s F500 gets a 884 GPM rating. In addition, it’s only running at 5 Amps at 115V. While easily providing up to 1/2-acre of pond aeration, this aerator is for smaller ponds and tanks as well.
