Purchasing Resources for Aerators

Aerators

Sell a varied selection of aerators to appeal to any customer
By Casey Holley Aerators give fish and other aquatic organisms the oxygen they need to thrive and stay healthy. Aerators work best when used in conjunction with a good filtration system.

When you order aeration products for your business, keep in mind that aerator ratings depend on the size of the bubbles, the depth at which they function best and the rate at which the air produces. In order to have aeration components and accessories in stock to meet any customer's needs, keep these suggestions in mind:

1. Make purchasing an aerator easy for your customers by offering complete aerator kits.

2. Appeal to customers who need a single aerator.

3. Meet the needs of customers who need accessories for an existing aerator.

Sell complete aerator kits

Fish and other aquatic organisms need oxygen. Using the right filtration or aeration systems are ways to give them this oxygen. When you are purchasing aerators for your customers, you must make sure that you have kits that are suitable for different size aquaculture operations.
Try:  Harrietta Hills has a complete line of aerators, including air compressor systems, fountains and surface aerators available at wholesale prices. Western Pond specializes in aerators for aquaculture operations. You can find premade aeration kits or mix and match systems at discount prices.

Keep individual aerators in stock

Some fish farms may need a single aerator to use in a live well or in a pond with fry. You need to stock a variety of pond aerators that are for a variety of situations in order to meet the needs of these fish farmers. Make sure that your selection includes high-speed output models and deep-water models.
Try:  Memphis Net & Twine offers aerators from six companies. Customers can combine these with almost any aquaculture filter system. You can find aerators for aquaculture projects including live well, marine and pond operations. Aquatic Eco-Systems has a good selection of aerators. This company offers aquaculture, pond and aquarium aerators.

Stock pumps, accessories and compressors for aerators

Most aerators need accessories, such as a pump or compressor, to function properly. Offering a wide range of accessories for the aerators you sell gives your customers the opportunity to find everything they need for a good aeration system in one place.
Try:  Doctors Foster and Smith offers a full line of accessories, including deep-water parts and surface bubblers, for aerators. This company offers wholesale prices and discounted shipping. Pond-O-Mania has pumps for aerators at wholesale prices. LaBrake's Garden Path and Pond has surface air stones for use with almost any aerating system.

• Consider making a simple aerators directory to help your customers buy aerators that meet their needs.
