Fish rod, I contacted the manufacturer (Anjon Mfg) and they told me that the motor is (hope I am spelling this correctly) an Asynchronous motor, meaning the start up and run are the same, 4.5 amps, doesn’t need a start up cap. I have never heard of that type of motor, wonder why they don’t use them in more applications.
After contacting Esshup, I have decided to just run the electrical to the pond and forgo running 200 ft of airline. I have to run wiring to the pond for the fountain, so I will upgrade the wiring to 10/3 gauge and hopefully save me a headache later on down the road in case I get an air leak somewhere under ground.
I really appreciate all the help here from everybody. If anybody is thinking of installing an aeration system, I HIGHLY recommend you get in contact with Esshup, he is very knowledgeable and super helpful, that’s where I will be purchasing my system. If there is anything that I am not seeing that I need to address, please let me know, I am an amateur at setting this up.
Thanks everybody
