A Note Before You Order

Choose the correct 115V or 230V configuration for your installation. The compressor is installed on shore and sends air through weighted tubing to the bottom-mounted diffusers, so there are no electrical components placed in the water. Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and use appropriate electrical protection for the installation.

Scott Aerator Bubble Pro Max Subsurface Aerator

The Bubble Pro Max is a bottom-diffused pond aeration system designed to improve water circulation and oxygen transfer while keeping the equipment and visible activity below the water's surface. A shore-mounted compressor sends air through weighted tubing to three diffuser stations positioned on the pond bottom. As the air rises through the water column, it creates an upward current that moves lower-oxygen water toward the surface for reoxygenation.

The Bubble Pro Max uses a 1/2 HP rocking-piston compressor and includes three double diffusers, three 100-foot lengths of 3/8-inch quick-sink weighted tubing, a triple valve assembly, pressure relief protection, fittings, and clamps. The system is available in 115V and 230V configurations and can also be used as a pond de-icing system in cold-weather conditions.

Coverage & Sizing Guide

5 to 8 Feet Pond Depth

The Bubble Pro Max is rated to cover approximately 3/4 acre when operating in ponds with water depths from 5 to 8 feet.

9 to 12 Feet Pond Depth

At pond depths from 9 to 12 feet, the Bubble Pro Max is rated to cover approximately 1-1/2 acres.

13 to 16 Feet Pond Depth

At pond depths from 13 to 16 feet, the Bubble Pro Max is rated to cover approximately 3 acres.

Sizing Consideration

Actual aeration requirements depend on pond depth, shape, water conditions, and the location of the diffuser stations. The coverage figures above are manufacturer-listed guidelines for the Bubble Pro Max system.

Installation & Assembly

Compressor Installation

The compressor is installed on shore in a suitable location and connected to the diffuser system through the supplied weighted airline tubing. The system is designed so that no electrical equipment is placed in the pond.

Diffuser Assembly

Each diffuser assembly uses a self-weighted base, diffuser membranes, a barbed check valve fitting, hose clamp, and padded hose clamp. The supplied components are assembled before the diffuser stations are positioned on the pond bottom.

Tubing Connection

The three weighted tubing sections connect the individual diffuser stations to the triple valve assembly at the compressor. The valves allow airflow to each diffuser to be adjusted independently.

Placement

The diffuser assemblies are lowered to the pond bottom using the base and should not be lifted by the diffuser membranes. Refer to the included Specs & Assembly instructions for the complete installation procedure.

Operation & Winter Use

Subsurface Aeration

The diffuser membranes release fine air bubbles from the pond bottom. As the bubbles rise, they create upward water movement that brings lower-oxygen water toward the surface for natural oxygen exchange.

Continuous Operation

The rocking-piston compressor is designed for demanding continuous-duty operation. Consistent aeration helps maintain circulation and oxygen movement throughout the water column.

Winter De-Icing

The Bubble Pro Max can also be used for pond de-icing. Air movement from the bottom diffusers helps circulate water and can maintain an open area during cold-weather conditions.

Initial Operation

When introducing diffused aeration to an established pond, gradual startup is recommended to allow the pond ecosystem to adjust to increased circulation. Follow the manufacturer's guidance for initial operating time and increase operation progressively toward continuous use.

Included Components

Compressor

One 1/2 HP rocking-piston compressor is included with the Bubble Pro Max system.

Diffusers

Three self-weighted diffuser bases with six diffuser membranes provide three separate aeration stations.

Weighted Tubing

Three 100-foot lengths of 3/8-inch quick-sink weighted airline are supplied for connecting the diffuser stations to the compressor.

Valves, Fittings & Clamps

The system includes a triple valve assembly, three barbed check valve fittings, six hose clamps, three padded hose clamps, and the required fittings for assembly.

Warranty

2-Year Warranty

The Bubble Pro Max is backed by a 2-year warranty. Refer to the manufacturer's current warranty terms for coverage details and conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question	Answer
What does the Bubble Pro Max do?	It is a subsurface aeration system that uses bottom-mounted diffusers to circulate water and transfer oxygen throughout the pond.
How many diffusers are included?	The Bubble Pro Max includes three double diffuser stations with six diffuser membranes in total.
How large of a pond can it aerate?	Coverage depends on pond depth. The listed coverage is 3/4 acre at 5 to 8 feet, 1-1/2 acres at 9 to 12 feet, and up to 3 acres at 13 to 16 feet.
What voltage options are available?	The Bubble Pro Max is available in both 115V and 230V configurations.
Does electricity enter the pond?	No. The compressor remains on shore and delivers air through weighted tubing to the diffuser stations on the pond bottom.
Can it operate continuously?	Yes. The rocking-piston compressor is designed for continuous-duty operation.
Can the Bubble Pro Max be used as a de-icer?	Yes. The Bubble Pro series can also be used for pond de-icing during cold-weather conditions.
How much weighted tubing is included?	The system includes three 100-foot sections of 3/8-inch quick-sink weighted tubing, for 300 feet total.
Can the airflow be adjusted?	Yes. The triple valve assembly provides individual airflow control for each diffuser hose.
Is the compressor oil-free?	Yes. The Bubble Pro Max uses an oil-free rocking-piston compressor.
What warranty is included?	The Bubble Pro Max comes with a 2-year warranty.
