Complete package is safety tested, approved and listed with ETL and ETL-C. Products for the European Union are also safety tested, approved and carry a 3rd party, independent CE mark.

Basic Installation Guidelines:

  • Unit Assembly: U.S.A. and Canada receive the unit assembled, while international shipments will receive the unit with float detached from motor unit with minor assembly required. All hardware is provided.
  • PCC Installation: Qualified electrician will need to be on-site to install power control center (PCC is standard for all domestic/60Hz applications.)
  • Power Cable:  Power cable should be buried or trenched in conduit per local codes, and run at least 3ft or 1m out into the pond/basin.
  • Anchor/Mooring Unit in Water: Float unit into the water and either anchor or moor it in to place with nylon rope. For ponds that experience fluctuating water levels we recommend that you moor the unit into its location. Mooring the unit can often be done from the shoreline, while a boat is typically required when anchoring.

Anchor Installation Mooring Installation
  

Installation is fairly simple, but will require the services of a certified electrician. Tools and materials required can include: a shovel (to bury/trench cable,) conduit, nylon rope, cinder blocks (when anchoring), boat (when anchoring,) rebar or duckbill anchors (when mooring). International shipments will require additional tools to assemble unit. Complete installation instructions will be found within the High Volume owner’s manual which will be provided with the delivery of the product.

Warranty:

Industrial Aerators carry an inclusive 3 year warranty. This warranty extends to the complete package including the unit, cable and power control center.

Warranty can be performed by more than 100 factory trained and certified Otterbine Service Centers found worldwide, or by Otterbine directly. A copy of the warranty statement for this product can be found within the owner’s manual.


Maintenance:

Once a year: Disconnect the unit from the power source and physically inspect the aerator and underwater cable for any cuts, cracks or breaks as these may cause oil leaks or electrical shorts. Inspect and clean the pumping chamber components and screen.

After Every 3 Running Seasons: Perform a simple oil change. Otterbine oil must be used for this oil change for environmental and heat dissipation purposes. This can be purchased through Otterbine distribution.


Winterization:

If you live in a region that experiences cold winters and frozen waters you will want to run your system 24-hours per day to keep the unit from freezing in.
