Will the AP-20 push enough air for three 8" Hydrofarm air stone plates? The pond is 14' circular and 2' - 3'? Thanks!

My AP-20 air pump is doing a great job to keep ice open here in New England. It sits 20 ft away from my 10X30 ft pond with 2 -3 inch air disks. I'm very pleased. It should have no problem handling 3 stones.

Do you mean the circumference of your pond is 14' or the diameter? If it's the circumference I'd say yes, definitely; this pump puts out a lot of air! It was too much for my 600 gallon, so I keep it as a backup. Even if you're talking about a 14' diameter, I think you'll find it's plenty.

I believe so. I am going to get another for my pond. Currently it is running some eight pumps and three airstone devices in my tanks and I've had to put valves on my two ten-gallon tanks to keep it from blowing the water out of the tank. Great blast - I just had to learn to control it. With a pond your size I see no problem.

We are using it to run two air stones in a 15 gal. tank and it works great. It is a great pump for that. Check what they recommend for your size tank, would be the best way to know for sure.

I think just fine. My pond, and pump at bottom of pond has a 10' rise up a winding creek bed to a waterfall. Works great. Thanks for asking.

I have them in a pond with 2 Tetrapod aerators with 2 outlets each and "tees" and valves supplying 6 stones. The ones that are on the least pressure have very small bubbles. The ones that have a lot of pressure have small AND large bubbles. You should have a valve to trim the output of the aerator anyway. I don't think you will find smaller bubbles out of a stone.

My pond is about 800 gals and this unit is good for aeration not filtration. You need to also add a good volume pump and separate filter unit.

Yes, although not exactly 90, it is a bit wider. It is to be accessible through the metal wheel. I have still found it difficult to attach certain pumps to this for adding air. It is not the manufacturer's fault, but that of the designer of the system.

My pump in in the 2000 gph range, with the waterfall 3 or so feet above the pump (which worked quite well) - however, my pond is over 600 gallons. Not sure how well a pump that size will work with a smaller pond as the amount of water in the "plumbing flow" may be significant compared to the pond (depending on how yours is set up). I had a smaller (<100 gallon) water feature where I had to add water once the pump starts (to replace the volume of water in the waterfall and running down the rocks) and once the pump stops, the water then overflows the pond. As long as the water flow was constant, once filled, it ran great.

I would be more concerned with sizing the pond pump to correspond with the maiximum capability of the filter. You need to make sure that the maximum flow will not exceed the limits of the filter.

I used this: PENN PLAX Standard Airline Tubing Air Pump Accessories, 8-Feet and it works fine

I think that is how big my fish pond is and it works great. The only other recommendation I would have is to get a filter box for the pump so doesn't get stopped up with debris.

There is a chart on K&H;'s web site that you can use to fugure out what size watts you need for your pond and area.Good luck.

The pond kit may be used above ground as long as you have support around the entire outside. Otherwise, it will collapse under the weight of the water.

yes but remember all air and water power are based on head feet,,,thats how far away from the source of the power to the end of the lineit will pump at 10 feet but u may not get the power u need to operate the device ie:sponge filter,air stone and so forthif u r gonna do a 10 foot run i,d go up to the eco-plus that has at least 40 watts of power,also remember these are small compressors and do make some noise so unless it,s a hydroponic grow room u might wanna make sure u have the length u need to put it in another room hope this helped

3/8 ID and yes it can pressure a stone at 4 feeti used this pump on a air stone in my pond at 3.8 feet

I'm moving water through a koi pond about 20 foot along and probably 3 feet in overall elevation with no problem

If the debris is not too big, it would. I think it needs the water deep to create the suction. At least 2 ft deep. The pond I use it in is 2 to 3 ft deep.

If you're looking for water movement, I highly suggest an air pump, air line and air stone. This is over kill for that... if you really want it, make sure the dish is several inches thick. This pump can be adjusted but may still be too strong. I usually use these just for waterfalls in vivariums.
