Maintenance & Winterisation

Otterbine High Volume units require minimal maintenance, to ensure years of dependable service we recommend the following:

These units can remain in the water during the winter but need to run 24 hours per day to keep the unit from freezing in.

Disconnect unit from power and physically inspect aerator, float and electrical cable.

An oil change is suggested to keep your aerator running smoothly.
