Question 1

Where can I purchase replacement parts

Accepted Answer

The repair kit is available through local fish stores, Tetra's web site, and https://www.amazon.com/Tetra-77878-Whisper-Repair-Pump/dp/B004PB93AI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542663068&sr=8-3&keywords=tetra+air+pump+repair+kits.

Question 2

What depth of water can this pump handle? I need to aerate at about 7 ft deep.

Accepted Answer

I converged the two outputs to one output using a “T” fitting . The output at 4 feet is excellent . I have a 500 gallon pond . I would use 2 of these for a bigger pond . 7 feet is pushing the limit . If your pond is over 1000 gallons and deep, I would get a small aerator.

Question 3

How long is the power cord. (This info should be noted in the specs.) Thank you!

Accepted Answer

The cord is 15 feet long, please let me know if I can be of further help.

Question 4

Has anyone used this to keep a cattle water tank from icing over, about a 200 gallon tank?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for inquiring about this Tetra product, F. Donia!  This would work for your application just fine as long as the air pump has a place where it can sit, protected from the weather. It does not have to be indoors, but you would want to place some type of a cover over it such as a wooden box, etc.  It comes with two air stones, but you can use either just one, or both of them.  This pump has a rating of 100 gallons per hour, and is recommended for ponds up to 5000 gallons.  It will not keep the entire surface free of ice, but will definitely keep a nice size hole in it, for gas exchange.  Depending on what part of the country you live in, I do not know if it will keep a large enough area open for several cattle to drink at once.  You may want something like our Tetra Pond Water Garden Pump 550 instead.  This is what I am using in a horse water trough this winter.  Mine is only about 12-18 inches deep, however, so this size pump keeps a good bit of water movement going across the entire surface.  Your tank is bigger so you may want the next size up.  Here is a link to the WGP pumps: https://www.amazon.com/TetraPond-Water-Garden-Pump-1000/dp/B002RBGFA4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1481573442&sr=8-3&keywords=water+garden+pump.
