Abstract
An aerator or destratifier used in small bodies of water is provided with a sealed flotation chamber in which a motor is completely housed. A stationary shaft runs between the top and bottom surface of the flotation chamber onto which the motor is mounted. A plurality of paddles is externally affixed to the exterior surface of the flotation chamber. A V-belt, a chain or a gearing arrangement is provided between the motor and the internal surface of the flotation chamber which will enable the flotation chamber to constantly or intermittently rotate. The plurality of paddles would then agitate the body of water and allow oxygen to be dissolved therein.
