EasyPro Rocking Piston Compressors
Choosing the Right EasyPro Stratus SRC Compressor
EasyPro rocking piston compressors are the industry standard for deep water applications (up to 50 feet deep). Unlike shallow-water diaphragm pumps, these units utilize a durable piston design to push high volumes of air against high head pressures. They are available in several sizes to match your specific pond aeration needs:
- SRC25 (1/4 HP): Ideal for small to medium deep ponds requiring efficient air circulation. Available in 115V or 230V.
- SRC50 (1/2 HP): The workhorse for mid-sized ponds, offering the perfect balance of airflow and energy efficiency. Available in 115V or 230V.
- SRC75 (3/4 HP): Designed for large pond and small lake setups operating multiple air diffusers. Available in 115V or 230V.
- SRC2002 (2 HP): A commercial-grade, high-output 230V compressor built for expansive lake aeration networks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep can an EasyPro rocking piston compressor operate?
The Stratus SRC series is specifically engineered for deep-water environments and can efficiently operate at depths up to 50 feet. This makes them significantly more powerful than standard diaphragm pumps, which typically struggle past 8 to 10 feet of depth.
Are these compressors oil-free?
Yes. All EasyPro Stratus SRC compressors feature an oil-free design. This guarantees that no harmful oils or lubricants can leak into your pond, keeping your fish, plants, and water ecosystem completely safe.
How often should I maintain my EasyPro SRC compressor?
To maximize the lifespan of your unit, air filter elements should be checked regularly and replaced every 3 to 6 months depending on environmental dust. If you notice a drop in air output after a few years of continuous operation, installing an EasyPro SRC repair kit (re-building the piston stroke elements) will quickly restore the compressor to full factory pressure.
