The BEST budget Pond Aerator!- VEVOR Pond aerator

In this video I show you the pond aerator that I installed in my 1/2 acre pond. It has made a huge difference in the water quality in my pond. I highly recommend installing an aerator in your pond. It is the foundation to all healthy ponds. It will surprise you how much I paid for it. Stick around and find out! Thanks for watching!

I bought two of these. One failed within the 1 yr Vevor warranty and they replaced it. I can't find out what the maintenance kit is for this unit (the replacement piston cups, O rings and gaskets). Those wear out after prolonged use (24 hrs a day). The info that comes with the pump is minimal, that's my only complaint. It's just a picture with a few lines of text. No model number or maintenance kit info. The first one I bought lasted 2 years. Once the underwater diffusor and hose are in place, you don't need to replace those. The replacement pump alone was only $169 on sale. Probably won't find it that cheap again, but that's inflation. I'm happy with it other than the lack of instruction manual and model info for a maintenance kit. Also, you have to attach the wiring yourself which isn't that hard. I'm a grandma and I managed it.

Great video, I’m about to order one myself - thanks for creating!

[@TripleTAcres]

Absolutely! Mine has been running non stop for over a month. Make sure you check out the DIY cabinet I made for it to.

[@BUCKNERBUCK2]

@@TripleTAcres I was browsing your channel and saw that! Very best option, luckily I put in a cheap storage box from Costco for my 220V irrigation project last year and crammed it all to one side so I have a sheltered spot ready to go. All the best with your pond and thanks again!

[@TripleTAcres]

@@BUCKNERBUCK2 right on pal!!

[@Heavensmyhomenow]

Thank you for the video There are air pumps that are crazy expensive even more than a water pump for a pond. Crazy.

[@TripleTAcres]

No problem. I hope it helped. I researched a lot and all I could find was pumps that were so expensive. This one was in the reasonable range and it’s been working flawlessly.

[@MrMarkAMartin]

good stuff thanks for your work in putting this together! I had a DIY system I built in 1996 using a continuous duty graphics art pump, it was 10x the hassle and 5x the cost back then, just ordered this kit, love the diffusion especially

[@TripleTAcres]

Absolutely pal! Glad I could help! Good luck. Let me know how it goes!

[@IndyFarmLife]

You are certainly on the right path with air and dye. That 'silencer' you mention is actually the air filter. The outer end of that cap is threaded and you can open it to replace the filter. Lookin good!

[@TripleTAcres]

Hey Adam! Thanks buddy. I just saw you change yours in your last video. I had no idea. I appreciate the comment and love your channel pal!

[@maddog45auto66]

I'm needing 2 get 1 of them air raiders, but just don't know which 12 try out. Thanks for sharing your video. I'll keep it in mind of this Brand

[@TripleTAcres]

I’ve had it running non stop since I installed it early July. It’s working good so far.

[@ryanhansen8312]

Great video! Cool channel you got here

[@TripleTAcres]

Thanks brother!

[@bobv7753]

Hi Mike, I see from an earlier post that after a couple month's all is going well with your aerator. I was reading many unfavorable Amazon reviews. I really like the system & of coures the price but would like to hear back from you & followers that your still happy with it. Appreciate your review & content. Thank you.

[@TripleTAcres]

So far I’m happy with it. It has been working flawlessly since July 2023. I’ve ran it nonstop since. Time will tell. If something happens to it I will for sure share with my viewers.

[@bobv7753]

@@TripleTAcres Thanks for the quick response Mike. It's starting to warm up & I really need this for my pond to keep the alge & muck down. Going to order today.

[@TripleTAcres]

@bobv7753 great idea! It made a world of difference in my pond. Don’t forget about beneficial bacteria. Check out my most recent video. I go over all the things I did to make my pond look much better.

[@lukeswain98]

Just bought one hope it works as well as yours😊

[@TripleTAcres]

Heck yeah! I'm on 9 months of constant use and it is still chugging away. My pond looks better than it ever has.

[@imnewtothistuff]

You would be better off Moving The aerator as close to the pond as possible Because the shorter the air hose the less restriction And the more air is delivered and the diaphragms will last much longer and the pump won't run as loud. All you have to do is run underground power. Less restriction on the hose side will keep the relief valve from Popping. Another suggestion is to make a larger filter box out of an old plastic coffee can, Stuff it with fiberglass insulation. It will breathe much easier.

[@TripleTAcres]

Great points!

[@crispaker]

Very informative video, thank you. Im late , its out of stock. Wondering how much it was so i can compare the specs and price with other brands. Thank you

[@TripleTAcres]

Hey buddy, thanks! I paid around $276 for this pump.

[@jodynorth2983]

Hello there from Ontario Canada! We followed your awesome video and got our pond all set up today. We built a housing box out of a plastic bin with a small ventilation fan and air vents, all of it just like yours, but we noticed it is so hot inside there! The air hose is super hot as is the pump itself. Do you find yours is really hot?

[@TripleTAcres]

Hello! It should be pretty warm but not really hot. Mine was really hot until I installed the cooling fan. Maybe your fan isn’t moving enough air? Do you have the fan sucking cool air in and blowing across the top of the pump or do you have the fan sucking hot air and blowing it out. I’m not sure if it makes a difference but I have my fan sucking the air in and blowing it through. If you put your hand in front of your vents, does it feel like good air flow?

[@jodynorth2983]

Thanks for your fast reply! Our 3" fan is sucking air in and blowing it across. We can feel hot air blowing out the other side. Even the air hose is crazy hot. Maybe we will try a bigger fan or even drill some venting holes near the top of the sides of the bin.

[@nighthiker8872]

What about a year-round pump for a big pond. To suck the water on a concrete structure .

[@nighthiker8872]

But a floating aeration would work. something solid.

[@TripleTAcres]

Are you talking about a fountain? A fountain is better than nothing, but it is no match to a subsurface aerator. Subsurface aerators move way more water and brake water stratification. They also add more dissolved oxygen in the water.

[@justadbeer]

Nice video. Just curious as to how big your pond is. I have a 1/4 acre pond and wonder if I should buy the 3/4 hp unit with two diffusers or just stick with a single 1/2 hp. Your pond looks great by the way!

[@TripleTAcres]

Thanks for you kind words! My pond is 1/2 acre and this is more than enough. I would just make sure it’s in the deepest part of the pond for maximum effectiveness. My algae issues have significantly improved and my fish appear to be more active.

[@christophergohn5234]

How is it running still? Looking to purchase one for my pond

[@TripleTAcres]

Still running strong!!

[@mariocuellar3209]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. How expensive is to run the aerator? have you noticed and increase in the power bill?

[@TripleTAcres]

Thank you! It cost me a little over $1 a day to run non stop. Obviously it all depends on how much your electric company charges per kilowatt.

[@julioponce6613]

Temo has it for less than two hundred bucks

[@fredvanburen5999]

Just checking on how long that vevor aerator last?

[@TripleTAcres]

It’s been a year so far. I have ran it nonstop ever since I installed it.

[@69kaveman]

Great video, I just bought one. Is yours still working?

[@TripleTAcres]

Thanks! Yes, it is. It’s been running non stop.

[@69kaveman]

Thank you!@@TripleTAcres

[@69kaveman]

My diffuser is 16 years old. It is a diffuser stone and not the type of diffuser sold with that pump. I wonder if that could be it there is no blockage in the hose. The pond is aerating but the relief valve just vents all the time. 0:19

[@TripleTAcres]

I bet that is your issue. These pumps flow quite a bit of air.

[@jamysondansby8691]

How many hours a day do you run this? How many days per week do you run it? Has is had a minor effect of your electric bill?

[@TripleTAcres]

I run it 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. It cost about $1 a day to run.

[@aryanzien2565]

Great video! Im looking to buy one after watching but our property is lakefront that gets alot of algae and a mucky bottom and only 2-3 foot water depth, wondering if u think this unit would be OK? Oh and we don’t have power to propety, think I could run this off marine batteries? Any insight b great.. Thanks

[@TripleTAcres]

Thanks! Let me try and answer your question. There are a lot of variables to consider. How big is the lake? If it’s larger, your one aerator won’t make that much difference. That depth is pretty shallow too. The bubbles won’t travel very far to move that much water and create a current. An aeration system works best when it’s sized right for the body of water, there is beneficial bacteria present, and knowing what is feeding the body of water for fertilization. There is way more to it than just that, and contacting your local pond specialist would be able to go more into detail about what specific needs you have. As far as your power source. You for sure could use a deep cycle battery. You would also need to add a solar panel, a solar charge controller to regulate the power flow, and an inverter to convert the DC energy to AC energy. I hope this helps. Sorry if I didn’t completely answer your question. Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@aryanzien2565]

@@TripleTAcres Thanks for the quick reply..great info. It’s a 3acre bay but we wanna keep the algae n muck away as much as possible. Was thinking a fountain but came across ur video n now contemplating both. Inverter into AC great idea w solar. Yeah it’s pretty shallow. Finishing up 50’+ dock today n then deciding between bubbles or fountain. Thanks again

[@lukeswain98]

How's the pump going

[@TripleTAcres]

Still going strong!

[@producedrabbit1]

Still going strong? 24/7

[@TripleTAcres]

It’s been running non stop 24/7 for an entire year. I’ve only turned it off to blow out the filter.

[@producedrabbit1]

Nice, thanks for the quick response

[@TripleTAcres]

@producedrabbit1 my pleasure!

[@69kaveman]

I just installed mine and the pressure relief valve is continuously venting. Is that normal? Is the pressure relief valve adjustable?

[@TripleTAcres]

What model do you have?

[@69kaveman]

I have the three-quarter horsepower version

[@69kaveman]

OLF400D-140BS-A@@TripleTAcres

[@TripleTAcres]

Mine doesn’t have that relief valve. I did read that it may do that if you have a blockage or kink in the line. It supposed to keep it from damaging the pump.

[@skolcityblues2132]

Any updates on the system 2 months in ?

[@TripleTAcres]

It’s working awesome! It’s been running non stop. I couldn’t be happier. My pond has never looked better. I’ll do a video on it soon.

[@fosno1]

Did you add a relief valve to it?

[@TripleTAcres]

I did not.

[@didiswissman]

if it runs 24 ouers 12 months the kost is around 670 dolar wooowww

[@TripleTAcres]

This simply isn’t true. It cost no where near that for me.
