aerator

[poconojoe]

Hi all, I bought an aerator kit for our our 1500 gallon pond. The instructions state that the air pump has to be kept dry! Why the heck do they not seal these so they are water proof? Well anyway, I need some ideas on how to keep this thing dry. Maybe build a little tiny "shed" for it? Or enclose it in a tupperware? Any ideas?
Thanks,

You can use anyting to cover it just remember to vent what ever you make.

Tupperware is good

I bought a small tote, put it over the aerator, drilled holes in it. My smaller aerator I put a oil pan over it.

Cost.

Remember to mount it higher than the water level too.

Great.
Thanks for the quick replies. Yes, I will position it higher than the water level. I don't want the water flowing back into the air pump.
