Aerators

I wish my aerator was less noisy.
I protect the compressor from the elements with an overturned pot. The pot is raised with rocks so that air can circulate under the pot.

Looks way better than the rubbermaid tote I have mine in

This is what it looked like once the flowers began to grow!

@cas I've found setting my aerator on a foam gardening knee pad, reduces the sound and vibration. They are easily cut to size

@cas that looks great!

I hide my pump with a natural log that was rotted in the center. I cut it is half and lay it over the top of it.

Thanks for the idea @Tula! I will try that.

I love the natural log idea @RobAmy !

That's way too much for my pocketbook.
I did like Sissy...I built a little wooden house to protect my Laguna Optima aerator.
The Laguna was very economically priced. I don't recall exactly what it cost, but I'm thinking maybe $50-$60. It has a replaceable module ($13 Amazon) which makes it like new. I've had it for many years. If I were to guess, I'd say 8 or so years.
