Customer Reviews for VEVOR Pond Aerator, for Up to 3 Acres, Pond Aeration System with 1/2 HP 4.7 CFM Compressor, 100' x 3/8" Weighted Tubing, and 10" Membrane Diffuser, for Deep Water Subsurface Aeration of Ponds

works great in the pond. would have given it 5 stars but I have to fix the on/off switch like everyone else that bought this pump.

Everything seems to be working good so far. But I don't like the timer they included. It was too complicated for my small brain. So I bought the one where you press in tabs to keep the pump on and off.

Received pump July 21, 2023. Reviewed operations, had to secure a Jon Boat to set 10” aerators to pond, That took a couple weeks. Have been running pump 24/7 for a couple weeks now. The Black Box that houses the toggle vibrates and makes more noise than the pump. I was able to dampen a bit by wedging a shim under. Bout a week ago I noticed one aerator was boiling the water which was definitely different from what it had been doing, away retrieved aerator and found that the 10” dome had broken off, I put it back figuring bubbles are aerating. This morning 8/31 drove down to pond to feed fish and pump was off. Note: The pump is plugged into an extension cord that is running to an Exterior outlet with dedicated breaker so I have not had to use the toggle switch to turn it on and off. I built a free standing roof over the platform I built to hold pump to keep pump out of the weather. Its opened on all sides for ventilation. I checked the toggle to make sure it was in the on position and when I did the pump started, ran for about thirty minutes and has now stopped again. Toggle does not feel right.

As far as the pump goes it runs great and is quiet, however, the on/off switch went out within 30 days of purchase. There is no manual for repairs on this pump. I reached out to the company and they had no solution other than purchasing another switch which did fix the problem and they have since reimbursed me for it. The suggestion I would make is to install another switch during assembly. All in all the aerator works great. The fish love it!!

Seems to be going well have one defuser in 8/10 ft of water and it pushes the surfaces up as bubbling . So far working as expected

The pump works well the switch was broken but stuck in the on position so was fine for me

The pump arrived on time and was very simple to put together & install , we have seen a difference in the quality of our pond water and the fish seem to be thriving ok in this hot Texas summer of 2023 ,

Air pump seems well built. Was easy to put together. Timer was a nice addition. Had to reset it to get it to work but now works great. Only been a couple of weeks but can see a difference already.

A lot of people review this item and say that the switch blows out pretty quickly and I found this to be true. The wires in the switch box are attached by screws and the screws work themselves loose, causing the switch to short out and melt itself. Mine took about a month to do this. It's an easy fix and the switches are fairly cheap and readily available from pretty much any electrical supply depot (go for a specialty place, not a big box), or you can order one from Amazon. If you've got one of these pumps new, the best thing is to open up the switch box before you even use it, unscrew the switch and use a bit of blue locktite to keep the screws from working loose, then reassemble and you should be good to go. They clearly need to fix QC at the assembly plant. Otherwise, now that I've fixed it myself, I've had this pump running constantly for nearly a year aerating my 30x50' pond and it works well. Throws a lot of air! It's quiet, I'd guess about 50 decibels (not much louder than a box fan), and while it gets warm to the touch, it doesn't get hot. Overall, I'm pleased with it, for the price. You just need to be a bit handy. Also, don't bother trying to get Vevor to send you a replacement part if your switch blows. I've been trying to get them to help me with a part for a different Vevor item and they're worse than useless. All they keep asking is could they please give me a partial refund and could I fix it myself? In the case of this pump, I didn't even bother asking when I'd read the reviews, I just sourced the part locally. If you buy a Vevor item with specialty, hard-to-get parts, buyer beware.

Huge difference in 2 months! Pond has been neglected. This year we are slowing do more to make it better (many projects). Currently the pond is about 35x15 and the deepest end is 7ft. We are expanding it by 10 feet on 2 sides. This aerator is kicking butt getting ur water cleaned up and the fish are far more active. It's a wild pond and about 10 years ago he just dug a constant wet area deeper. It became the one. Expanding it this summer, this aerator can do up to 3/4acre pond. It's doing great for us. Rain or eat, no issues. Great price too. I have to be about 10 to 15ft of it to even hear its slight air motor noise. Very happy with this. I would recommend! I would post pis but it keeps saying mine are too big.
