Which compressor do I need?
It follows from the diffuser count and depth, not from pond size alone. The KM-60 is 1/4 HP, the KM-120C is 1/2 HP and the KM-200 is 3/4 HP.
If you are replacing a compressor in an existing system, match what came out - the cabinet, manifold and tubing were sized around it. Send us the system model and we will confirm.
Should I rebuild or replace?
Rebuild first, in most cases. Kasco sells rebuild kits for the KM-60, KM-120 and KM-200, and a piston compressor that has lost pressure is usually worn rather than dead.
Pistons are wear items - Kasco does not cover them under the factory warranty, which tells you they expect them to be serviced rather than replaced.
How often does it need maintenance?
Change the air filter on a schedule and the compressor lasts far longer. A clogged filter makes the unit work harder and run hotter, which is what kills pistons.
Keep a spare filter element and a rebuild kit on the shelf - both are inexpensive against a mid-summer failure.
Can it run through a Canadian winter?
Yes, and on many ponds that is the point. The compressor sits on the bank in its cabinet, so nothing has to come out of the water before freeze-up.
Running through winter keeps an opening in the ice and lets trapped gases escape, which is what prevents winterkill.
How noisy is it?
It is a piston compressor running continuously, so it is audible up close. RobustAire cabinets use AireGuard noise-reducing construction to address exactly this.
On a residential shoreline, siting matters as much as the cabinet. We can advise on placement relative to the house and property line.
Do I need a cabinet, or can it sit outside?
It needs an enclosure. The cabinet protects the compressor from weather and provides the cooling airflow it depends on, and the fan is part of the design rather than an accessory.
If you are building a system from components rather than buying a complete RobustAire system, talk to us before you order - the pieces have to be matched.
