Charles Austen BF250 Wave Maker

Charles Austen BF250 Wave Maker – Quiet, Reliable Aeration and Algae Prevention

The Charles Austen BF250 Wave Maker is a powerful and efficient solution for creating water movement and aeration in fish ponds, aquaculture systems, and large aquatic environments. Designed to generate strong water currents below the surface, it helps prevent algae build-up, improve oxygen distribution, and maintain a healthier aquatic ecosystem.

Capable of producing a flow rate of 12,960 litres per hour, the BF250 delivers exceptional performance while remaining quiet and reliable in operation. By using a high-volume air intake of 216 L/min, the wave maker ensures that oxygen is evenly distributed throughout the pond, keeping fish active, water clear, and bacteria thriving.

The unit is designed with flexibility in mind. Supplied with a 600mm air inlet, it allows you to adjust the air intake to suit the specific needs of your pond or tank. The pump can be submerged at depths between 0.3m and 1.5m, giving you full control over positioning and output.

Built with durability at its core, the BF250 Wave Maker features a ceramic shaft to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term performance in aquatic environments. Whether you’re looking to increase aeration, reduce algae growth, or create natural water movement, the BF250 is a robust, low-maintenance solution for both hobbyists and professionals.
