The Charles Austen CP60 Air Pump Battery Back Up is a powerful and versatile aeration solution designed to provide peace of mind for pond keepers, aquaculture professionals, and wastewater treatment operators. With its robust design, long-lasting battery, and variable flow control, the CP60 ensures that oxygenation continues even during a power outage – a critical feature for protecting valuable fish stocks and maintaining water quality.
Unlike standard air pumps, the CP60 features a built-in 12V rechargeable battery that provides up to 8 hours of continuous operation. In the event of a mains power failure, the pump automatically switches from AC to DC power, keeping aeration systems running without interruption. This makes it an essential piece of equipment for koi ponds, fish transportation, aquariums, and sensitive aquatic systems where even short-term oxygen loss could have devastating consequences.
Another standout feature of the CP60 is its variable flow dial, which allows you to control the airflow rate with precision. Whether you’re oxygenating a transport vat, a koi pond, or a wastewater treatment system, you can easily adjust the flow to suit the application. This level of control not only improves efficiency but also reduces unnecessary stress on fish by tailoring oxygen delivery to their specific needs.
The CP60 is compact, portable, and user-friendly. An integrated retractable handle makes it easy to transport and reposition, while its oil-free design ensures clean, contamination-free air. A built-in LED indicator provides clear status updates, letting you know when the pump is running or requires recharging.
With a maximum flow rate of 60 litres per minute at 0.3 bar, the CP60 delivers high-pressure performance suitable for a wide variety of applications. It is exceptionally quiet at just 35dB, making it unobtrusive in both domestic and commercial environments. The unit is also low-maintenance, supported by competitively priced service kits and backed by a two-year UK warranty.
