Elevate your pond or lake with the Vanguard Typhoon 3/4 HP Floating Display Aerator — a commercial-grade floating aerator that blends striking water displays with powerful oxygenation. Engineered for reliability, corrosion resistance, and year-round performance, the Typhoon dramatically improves water quality while creating a beautiful focal point for your landscape.

Built around a stainless-steel motor and heavy-duty floating platform, the Typhoon moves large volumes of water (up to 40,000 GPH in optimal setups, typical performance ~20,000 GPH) to increase dissolved oxygen, reduce algae, and improve clarity. It ships fully assembled with timer and mooring ropes for fast, no-hassle installation and offers optional LED lighting kits (white or color-changing) and conversion kits that let the Typhoon function as a bottom aerator or deicer.

Perfect for ponds up to one-half acre (and configurable for larger bodies of water), this dual-purpose unit is ideal for property owners, landscapers, and managers seeking both functional aeration and a dramatic water feature. Backed by a 3-year warranty, the Vanguard Typhoon is a low-maintenance, high-impact upgrade for any water feature.
