In stock, ready to ship
- Wind powered
- No electricity needed
- Chemical free
- Galvanized tower
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
- 16 ft: 8, 12 and 16 ft tower boxes
- 20 ft: 8, 12, 16 and 20 ft tower boxes
- 24 ft: 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 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 windmill aeration vs surface aeration
Surface systems move the top of the water, while a windmill drives oxygen to the pond bottom to circulate the entire water column.
Common approach
Surface aeration
- Treats only the top layer of the pond
- Leaves the bottom prone to stratification and stagnant water
- Does little to circulate the full depth of the pond
This system
Single diaphragm windmill
- Pushes oxygen to the bottom through a submerged airstone
- Circulates the full water column to prevent stratification
- Runs on wind alone with no electricity or ongoing energy costs
Why choose it
Wind-powered aeration that keeps your pond healthy
The Single Diaphragm Windmill Aeration System uses the wind to drive a bottom-mounted air compressor, pushing oxygen to the pond bottom through a submerged airstone.
Powered by wind alone
As the windmill turns, it drives a bottom-mounted air compressor with no electricity and no ongoing energy costs. It begins producing air in winds as low as 3 to 5 mph.
Bottom-up aeration
Oxygen is pushed to the bottom of the pond through a submerged airstone, circulating the entire water column. This is far more effective than surface aeration.
Chemical-free pond care
The system helps prevent stagnant water, pond turnover and fish kills without adding any chemicals to your water.
Built for harsh conditions
A 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.
Complete system included
Every system includes the windmill head, single diaphragm air compressor, airstone diffuser, foot valve, and 100 feet of 3/8 inch polytubing airline.
