Air® Aeration Systems
| AquaAir-1
to AquaAir-6 & The "Deep Water" Series
When
superior aeration and de-stratification is desired for water bodies that require
a more natural setting, permit safe recreational use, require non-moving or non-electrical
parts, or are very deep and/or large, AquaAir by AquaMasterฎ is the intelligent
choice. Available as factory ready aeration systems from the AquaAir 1 to the
AquaAir 6 as well as the new Deep Water series featuring large 1/2 HP piston compressors
for deep water and specialty applications.
AquaAir provides ponds and
lakes with superior aeration, circulation, and de-stratification. Dissolved oxygen
(DO) levels are increased throughout the entire water column with the use of bottom-mounted
diffusers. The diffusers employ a super fine micro-bubble technology resulting
in the highest diffuser oxygen transfer rate (OTR) available today. The micro-bubbles
draw water from the pond floor to the surface where atmospheric oxygen is absorbed
and then transferred throughout the water column. This process provides excellent
deterrence to thermal stratification (layers of different temperature within the
water). The diffusers are connected by our self-weighted Torpedo Tubing air supply
tubing to a revolutionary cylindrical design enclosure containing one of four
compressor sizes. System sizes range from 1/3 to 1 HP and operate with one to
six diffusers.

Diffusers
Diffusers ncluded with standard Aqua Air 1 through 6 packages) Large
12" diffuser discs on raised platforms ensure large volumes of water are
moved every minute Integrated check-valve prevents water from entering airline
Large coated diffuser disc resists fouling and clogging Diffusers can be
replaced with Bubble Tubing in shallow conditions or to improve ease of installation.
Sizing guide should be based on lake turnover rate of 1.5 - 2 times per day. This
is adequate to aerate most low oxygen, organic bottom sediment lakes.
Shallow lakes and canals, narrow lakes or lakes with fingers, coves or other physical
features that restrict circulation may Bubble Tubing instead of traditional diffusers.
The Aqua Air systems are ideal for use with Bubble Tubing.

Lake and Pond Benefits
Entire water column circulation - up to 4000 gallons per minute depending
on diffuser depth Elimination of thermal stratification Increased
dissolved oxygen levels that stimulate the natural aerobic digestion process thus
reducing nutrient levels and associated algal growth Elimination of oxygen
related fish kills and expansion of the oxygenated habitat and ecosystem
Reduction of mosquito and aquatic midgen infestations Elimination of foul
odors from undesirable gases Reduction of organic bottom sediment
Preservation of a healthy aquatic ecosystem and an aesthetically pleasing aquascape
to view and enjoy through improved water quality

Vertex Air-1 to
Air-6 Aeration Systems
This
picture shows the two compressors and manifold system inside the QuietAir
Cabinet of an Air-5 system. Every Vertex aerator is built to last long and to
perform well, period. Vertex offers top-of-the line aerators for any sized pond
or lake which are easy to install.
These systems come with rust-proof
aluminum cabinets that are guaranteed against rust for life. With the self-sinking
diffuser assemblies and self-sinking tubing you will spend less time and energy
installing your system and more time enjoying your pond.
If you are unsure
of the size of system would best suit your pondplease contact us. If you have
a shallow pond you may be interested in our linear
aeration for shallow ponds
using Vertex systems to run lengths of Bubble Tubing.
