Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a direct replacement for my US Solar Mounts aerator?

A: Yes. This compressor is designed as a direct replacement for the original Thomas 680 compressor used in US Solar Mounts AC-series aerators and installs without requiring system modifications.

 

Q: What aerator models is this compressor compatible with?

A: This compressor is compatible with US Solar Mounts AC-LA1 and AC-LA2 aeration systems that originally used a 1/4 HP Thomas 680 compressor.

 

Q: What is included with the compressor?

A: This listing is for the compressor only. Existing mounting components and fittings from a US Solar Mounts AC aerator can be reused. Intake filters and other accessories are available separately, as needed. 

 

Q: Can I use this compressor for a new aeration installation?

A: Yes. The 1/4 HP Thomas 680 compressor is suitable for new DIY aeration installations where a continuous-duty, oil-free rocking piston compressor is required.

 

Q: Is this compressor solar powered?

A: No. This compressor is not a solar-powered aerator. It requires standard 120V AC power and includes a power cord for plug-in operation. If you are looking for a solar-powered aeration system, US Solar Mounts offers solar (SD-series) aerators designed specifically for off-grid installations.
