Are these aerators good for shrimp farms and catfish ponds?
Yes. The manufacturer designed the STD-B24 for extensive and modified-extensive shrimp, prawn, and fish aquaculture. Paddle wheel aerators raise dissolved oxygen, reduce temperature stratification, and create the pond current shrimp and catfish farmers rely on.
Who manufactures these aerators — are you the factory?
They're made by Sagar Aquaculture, a specialist aerator manufacturer. We're Bluegrass Equipment, a Kentucky seller with 40 factory-fresh units in stock — you get manufacturer-direct bulk pricing without importing a container yourself.
What power do they run on?
Each unit is a 2 HP / 1.5 kW motor, 220V single-phase. Check the motor plate when your unit arrives and have a qualified electrician handle the hookup, as with any pond motor.
How many aerators does my pond need?
It depends on pond size and stocking density — many fish farmers run one 2 HP paddle wheel per 1–2 surface acres at moderate stocking, and more for intensive production. Call Benjamin at 606-448-5466 and he'll help you size it for your ponds.
