{"product_id":"bubble-pro-mini-subsurface-aerators","title":"Scott Aerator Bubble Pro Mini Subsurface Aerators","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bubble Pro Mini is the smallest system in Scott Aerator's subsurface aeration line, intended for modest ponds where the owner wants better water quality without hardware sitting out on the surface. Rather than spraying water into the air the way a fountain does, the Mini sets a single diffuser module on the pond floor and runs a weighted airline back to a compressor placed on shore. From the bank, the only sign the system is working is a patch of rising bubbles, which leaves the pond looking untouched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir leaves the shore-mounted quarter-horsepower rocking-piston compressor, travels down the airline, and exits the bottom diffuser as a fine bubble stream. Those bubbles pull oxygen-starved water up from the bottom as they climb, and once that water reaches the surface it vents built-up gases and takes on oxygen before sinking back down. Turning over the whole water column this way spreads dissolved oxygen from the bed to the surface instead of letting the deeper layers sit stagnant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow much pond a single diffuser can handle depends on depth, because a deeper pond gives each bubble a longer climb and a wider circulation pattern. Scott Aerator rates the Mini at roughly a quarter acre in water 5 to 8 feet deep, half an acre between 9 and 12 feet, and a full acre from 13 to 16 feet. That is why the identical hardware is credited with four times the surface area at the deep end of the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mini is also listed as a de-icer. Running it through the cold season keeps the water moving beneath the diffuser, which holds an opening in the ice and gives trapped gases a route out instead of letting them collect under a sealed surface. The compressor can be ordered bare or paired with an enclosure — a weatherproof cabinet, a steel cabinet fitted with a cooling fan and ground base, or a lockable deluxe steel cabinet — depending on how exposed the shoreline spot is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne bottom-mounted diffuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 100-foot length of 3\/8-inch quick-sink weighted airline tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarter-horsepower rocking-piston air compressor in either 115 V or 230 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValved air outlet assembly with individual hose control and a pressure relief valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll fittings and clamps required for assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressor cabinets are separate options and are not part of the base system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Scott Aerator","offers":[{"title":"115 volts","offer_id":67834117718207,"sku":"44050","price":879.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"230 volts","offer_id":67834117750975,"sku":"44050.23","price":899.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/1967\/6351\/files\/bubble-pro-1-mini-feature.jpg?v=1793483694","url":"https:\/\/adventuremotion.com\/products\/bubble-pro-mini-subsurface-aerators","provider":"Adventure Motion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
