With a weighted interior ballast and a tapered 3\/8-inch fitting, the unit connects quickly to standard aeration tubing and stays in place on the pond bottom. It’s made from durable materials intended for season-after-season use and is compatible with most compressors and aeration systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this diffuser improve pond water quality?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe diffuser breaks incoming air into many small bubbles, which increases the contact area between air and water and helps transfer oxygen more efficiently.
