Lake
and pond aerator: Air1™ |
|

|

|
The
Air 1™ aeration system circulates
up to 4,100 GPM!
• Increased
dissolved oxygen
• Stops oxygen related fish kills by raising entire water
column oxygen levels
• Reduces nutrient levels and associated algae growth
• Ends thermal stratification
• Improves fisheries by expanding oxygenated habitat
• Reduces aquatic midge and mosquito insect hatches
• Eliminates foul odors from undesirable dissolved
gases
• SAFE - no electricity in the water and
full GFI protection on all circuits
The
Vertex Air 1™ is
a super-efficient, affordable
and safe system for circulating
up to 4,100 GPM. In a
typical pond with 8 foot
depths, an Air 1™ can
aerate approximately
2 acres depending on
dissolved oxygen demand
and other factors. A
1/3 hp piston compressor,
housed in our rustproof
outdoor cabinet, feeds
a bottom mounted CoActive
AirStation™ utilizing
Vertex’s MicronBubble™ technology.
The majority of bubbles
are only 500 to 1000
microns in diameter.
As bubble size decreases,
oxygen transfer rates
increase dramatically.
The rising force of millions
of bubbles circulates
the entire water column,
entraining bottom water
up to the surface allowing
vital oxygen to be absorbed.
Oxygen levels are increased
and kept constant throughout
the entire lake, preventing
drastic O2 swings that
can lead to fish-kills.
With no electricity in
the water, Vertex’s
aeration systems are
safe for any type of
water recreation. Our
self-cleaning CoActive
AirStations™ allow
for years of high performance,
reliability, low maintenance
and are covered under
our five-year warranty.
