Lake
and pond aerator: Air3XL™ |
|
|
|

|
The
Air 3XL™ aeration system circulates
up to 24,570 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 3XL™ is
a super-efficient, affordable
and safe system for circulating
up to 24,570 GPM. In a typical
lake with 8 foot depths,
an Air 3XL™ can aerate
approximately 8 acres depending
on dissolved oxygen demand
and others factors. Two 1/3
hp piston compressors, housed
in our rustproof outdoor
cabinet, feed three bottom
mounted AirStationXL™ Diffusers
each 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 AirStationsXL™ Diffusers
allow for years of high performance,
reliability, low maintenance
and are covered under our five-year
warranty.
