Lake
and pond aerator: Air4™ |
|
|
|
The
Air 4 ™ circulates up to
16,400 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 GFCI protection on all circuits
The
Vertex Air 4™ is
a super-efficient,
affordable and safe
system for circulating
up to 16,400 GPM.
In a typical lake
with 8 foot depths,
an Air 4™ can
aerate approximately
10 acres depending
on dissolved oxygen
demand and other
factors. (2)1/3hp
piston compressors,
housed in our rustproof
outdoor cabinet,
feed four bottom
mounted CoActive
AirStations™ 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
CoActive AirStations™ allow
for years of high
performance, reliability,
low maintenance and
are covered under
our five-year warranty.
