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 wind power vs. surface aeration
Aeration method matters. Here is how a single diaphragm windmill compares with the common surface approach.
The common approach
Surface aeration
- Treats the top of the water while the bottom stays low in oxygen
- Leaves the water column stratified, with stagnant water near the bottom
- Depends on electricity and ongoing energy costs
- Does little to prevent pond turnover and winter fish kills
This system
Single diaphragm windmill
- Pushes oxygen to the pond bottom through a submerged airstone
- Circulates the entire water column to prevent stratification
- Runs on wind alone, with no electricity or energy costs
- Helps prevent stagnant water, pond turnover, and fish kills
Why choose it
Chemical-free aeration powered by the wind
The Koenders Single Diaphragm Windmill Aeration System uses nothing but the wind to keep smaller ponds healthy from the bottom up.
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. The system begins producing air in winds as low as 3 to 5 mph.
Bottom-up aeration
Air 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
By keeping the water moving and oxygenated, the system prevents stratification and stagnant water, and helps stop pond turnover and winter fish kills.
No chemicals
Keep your pond healthy without algaecides or additives. Aeration does the work using only oxygen and circulation.
Sized for smaller ponds
Ideal for ponds up to about 1 acre and depths up to 25 feet, running a single airstone diffuser.
Built for the outdoors
A galvanized tower and components are built to stand up to harsh outdoor conditions season after season.
