Windmill Aeration - No electric neededThe windmill is a direct drive system without gears and few moving parts. It is efficient and easy to maintain. Twelve galvanized or powder coated steel blades catch the wind from a twelve foot tower, turning the crankshaft which is attached to the diaphragm. This acts like a piston, forcing air out on the downstroke. When paired with an aeration system (consisting of weighted tubing and diffuser stones) this particular model is ideal for small fish and garden ponds. The windmill makes an aesthetically pleasing addition to your yard while at the same time providing much needed oxygen to your pond, helping to prevent fish kill and the growth of algae and pond weeds.The windmill package consists of a 12' tower and turbine with 12 blades.
