Installation
The High Volume arrives partially assembled and installation can be performed in just a few steps.
-
1
Install Power Control Center: Power control center is mounted onshore; a certified electrician is recommended to perform this step.
-
2
Lay Power Cable: Bury/trench power in conduit to pond edge, connect plug to unit.

Maintenance & Winterization
Maintenance
Otterbine High Volume units require minimal maintenance, to insure years of dependable service we recommend the following:
-
1
Once a year: Disconnect unit from power and physically inspect aerator, float and electrical cable.
-
3
Every three years: An oil change is suggested to keep your aerator running smoothly.
Winterization
These units can remain in the water during the winter but need to run 24 hours per day to keep the unit from freezing in.
