Power House® Aerators and Fountains from Bearon® Aquatics (now part of the Hydrasearch® company) are ideal for keeping your pond clean while also protecting the vulnerable ecosystem within it.
These are customer-friendly and energy-efficient and are custom designed to agitate high volumes of water (GPM) at the surface producing large, even goblets of water and can operate in as little as 14″ to 18″ of water.
Low oxygen levels result in costly and devastating fish kills. These High Oxygen Transfer Surface Aerator offers the most reliable, energy efficient and cost-saving aeration solution to prevent these catastrophic losses. Our aerators are specially designed for portability and ease of installation.
Surface aerators provide the mechanical destratification of water to elevate oxygen transfer rates and sustain the level of dissolved oxygen to maximize aquatic life.
Water is naturally able to hold great quantities of dissolved oxygen and nutrients. However, temperature, sunlight, run-off, and stocking densities can have a detrimental effect on the water’s self-replenishment abilities. In many cases, artificial aeration and flow generation can not only replenish the levels of dissolved molecules in water, but can also raise these levels higher than what is naturally available.
Low dissolved oxygen levels and poor water quality can mean lower yields, reduced growth rate, and increased susceptibility to fish and plant stress and disease.
The Surface Aerators by BEARON are energy efficient and produce some of the highest oxygen transfer rates per horsepower/hour available. Also these units help to maintain cleaner water, provide gentle circulation, and prevent thermal stratification. Additional benefits include the ability to use the units a s flow generators and to prevent winter fish kills. These units are also used to keep wildlife and livestock ponds open during freezing weather.
Surface aerators available in three different HP sizes and the ultra-efficient dual prop versions of the 3/4 HP and 1 HP that provide extreme circulation and oxygenation. All units include float, power cord, mooring ropes, and rugged motor unit suspended under float. 24 month manufacturers warranty.

Bearon Surface Aerators are unique in design and superior in construction and performance. They are suitable for continuous operation in both salt and fresh water.
Our units are shipped complete with mooring/positioning lines and power cords. They can be taken straight from the shipping box and, after insertion into the float, be attached in place and plugged in.
The Aerator motor is filled and sealed with a special non-toxic dielectric fluid and does not need lubrication.
When storing your unit, clean it thoroughly and place it prop side down in a flat, cool place. Storing prop side down will keep the seals lubricated.
Heavy weed or plant locations may need to have the screen and prop cleaned occasionally. Before removing or cleaning the unit, unplug or disconnect the unit from the power source. Scrub with a stiff, nylon bristle brush. The unit will not be damaged by cleaners; however, these products could leave a residue that may damage plants and animals when the unit is put back in service. If cleaners are used, flush and rinse thoroughly with fresh, clean water.
Occasionally inspect the prop, internal brackets and shaft for accumulation of weeds, vines or string. These objects can damage the seals, prop and shaft. Keep the shaft and prop clear of debris. Inspect the brackets and prop for chips and cracks. Broken or damaged brackets or prop can be replaced easily in the field with factory parts.
