Pond Haven Vanguard Electric Bottom Shallow Water Aeration System — WG 3.2 CFM (115V)

Transform your pond into a healthier, clearer, more resilient ecosystem with the Pond Haven Vanguard Electric Bottom Aeration System (WG Series). Designed for shallow water ponds up to 6–7 ft deep, the Vanguard uses proven Hiblow electric air pumps to deliver powerful bottom-up circulation, raising oxygen-rich water to the surface while destratifying temperature layers. The result: reduced algae and harmful gases, healthier fish, thriving beneficial bacteria, and year-round stability.

This plug-in 115V system is whisper-quiet, oil-free and energy efficient — air does the heavy lifting, moving massive volumes of water with minimal electricity. Ideal for residential ponds, small lakes, water features and fishery applications, the Vanguard WG package includes everything needed for reliable bottom aeration: protective stone enclosure, equipment pad, 100 ft weighted airline, diffuser, and a 50 ft power cable — all backed by a 3-year warranty.

Whether you’re preventing fish kills, improving water clarity, or preparing your pond for hot summer months, the Vanguard WG 3.2 CFM electric aerator offers a durable, low-maintenance solution that keeps your pond healthy and beautiful.

Troubleshooting quick tips

• No airflow / low bubbles: Check power connection and GFCI. Inspect tubing for blockages or leaks. Clean or replace diffuser membrane.
• Excessive noise: Ensure pump sits squarely on equipment pad inside enclosure; remove debris blocking vents.
• Weak circulation: Verify diffuser placement and consider adding a second diffuser for larger ponds.

Care & maintenance 

• Annual inspection: Inspect pump enclosure, fittings and tubing for wear or damage once per year.
• Diffuser check: Inspect diffusers every 6–12 months. Replace diffuser membranes if bubble pattern becomes weak or uneven.
• Pump ventilation: Keep the pump enclosure free from debris; ensure inlet vents are unobstructed for cooling.
• Tubing: Check weighted airline for kinks or leaks; replace sections if brittle.
• Winterizing (cold climates): For freezing conditions, follow local winterizing guidance — either continue low-flow operation if pond does not fully freeze, or remove and store pump/diffuser if instructed. (Contact our support for region-specific instructions.)
• Power & safety: Use GFCI-protected outlet and follow local electrical codes. Disconnect power before servicing.
• Service: Hiblow pumps are oil-free and require minimal service; for unusual noises or loss of airflow, review quick troubleshooting or contact support.
