Details
The Koenders Single Diaphragm Windmill Aeration System uses nothing but the wind to keep your pond healthy. As the windmill turns, it drives a bottom-mounted air compressor that pushes oxygen to the bottom of your pond through a submerged airstone. This bottom-up aeration circulates the entire water column, prevents stratification and stagnant water, and helps stop pond turnover and winter fish kills, all with no electricity and no chemicals.
The single diaphragm system is ideal for smaller ponds up to about 1 acre and depths up to 25 feet. It runs a single airstone diffuser and begins producing air in winds as low as 3 to 5 mph.

What is included
Every Single Diaphragm system includes the windmill head with a 24 inch blade and tail box, a single diaphragm air compressor, an airstone diffuser, a foot valve, and 100 feet of 3/8 inch polytubing airline. Taller towers add stacking tower box sections:
- 12 ft: 8 ft and 12 ft tower boxes

Choosing your tower height
Taller towers reach cleaner, steadier wind, so choose based on your site. Open, exposed sites can use a shorter tower, while sites with trees, buildings or rolling terrain benefit from a taller tower to clear the turbulence. If you are unsure, contact our team and we will help you size the right system.

How it compares
Bottom-up aeration vs surface aeration
Surface fountains move water at the top of the pond and leave the deeper water untouched. This windmill drives oxygen to the bottom, so the whole water column circulates.
The common approach
Surface fountains and electric aerators
- Aerate mainly the top layer, leaving deeper water stagnant
- Depend on electricity and ongoing energy costs
- Do little to prevent stratification or pond turnover
This system
Single Diaphragm Windmill Aeration System
- Pushes oxygen to the bottom of the pond through a submerged airstone
- Runs on wind alone, with no electricity or energy costs
- Circulates the entire water column to help prevent turnover and fish kills
Why windmill aeration
Chemical-free pond health, powered by the wind
The Koenders Single Diaphragm Windmill Aeration System uses nothing but the wind to keep smaller ponds healthy, circulating water from the bottom up without electricity or chemicals.
Powered by wind alone
As the windmill turns, it drives a bottom-mounted air compressor. There is no electricity to run and no ongoing energy costs, and it begins producing air in winds as low as 3 to 5 mph.
Bottom-up aeration
Oxygen is pushed to the bottom of your pond through a submerged airstone. This circulates the entire water column and is far more effective than surface aeration.
Prevents turnover and fish kills
Continuous circulation prevents stratification and stagnant water, helping stop pond turnover and winter fish kills.
No chemicals needed
The system keeps your pond healthy without algaecides or additives, relying on oxygen and circulation instead of chemical treatment.
Built for the outdoors
The galvanized tower and components are built to stand up to harsh outdoor conditions season after season.
Sized for smaller ponds
Ideal for ponds up to about 1 acre and depths up to 25 feet, running a single airstone diffuser.
