How can I protect my windmill during strong winds?

Aermotor Windmills are designed with an off-center mast pipe and a large tail vane to turn the blades out of the wind (furl) when wind speeds get too high. An adjustable spring allows you to set the speed at which the windmill furls, turning out of the wind to protect itself, and then returning into the wind as speeds drop. Additionally, windmills come with a manual lever at the tower base, which can be used to turn the windmill out of the wind and apply a friction brake.

What details are needed to choose the right windmill size?

You can visit our “How Much Water” and “Water Pumping Capacity” pages to get a good idea. For a more precise recommendation, email us the following information, and we’ll assist you in selecting the ideal windmill size for your water needs:

  • Total depth of the well
  • Depth of static water
  • Gallons of water required per hour

Are Aermotor Windmills truly the only American made windmills?

Yes! Headquartered in San Angelo, Texas, Aermotor is the only manufacturer producing these windmills and their parts entirely in the United States.

Some companies sell windmills made in Mexico, South America, and China, claiming they are interchangeable with Aermotor products. However, nothing matches the quality of our American-made Aermotor Windmills and Aermotor Windmill Towers.
