Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Hey Ted, here's our finished product!!

I agree, heat and filter neglect is the worst enemy of these pumps. I'm not sure it makes a difference as far as the cooling, but we designed our single compressor (Thomas 2680) cabinet with the 4" fan blowing out from the inside and top (since hot air rises) through a luvre plate. Our intake is a filtered luvre plate on the opposite side and bottom (to bring cool air in and across the pump). This eliminates any concern about bringing in outside elements.
