Vertex's New AirStation™
INDEPENDENT TESTING RESULTS:
Single
CoActive AirStation™ with
MicronBubble™ Technology
Out Performs the Competition,
Circulating Up to 3510 GPM!
The
results are
in and the
Vertex CoActive
AirStation™ ,
a lake bed
airlift diffuser,
passed with
flying colors!
Independent
tests certified

University
of Missouri,
Department
of Environmental
Engineering
confirmed
the pumping
rates of
the Vertex
CoActive
AirStation™ are
indeed staggering — an
impressive
3510 GPM
at 21 feet
of depth
with just
one CFM of
air supply!

Vertex
Water Features realized that
due to “smoke & mirror” claims
made by many manufacturers, it
was vital our clients have solid,
scientific data to accurately
design and size their lake aeration
systems. To our knowledge, no
other lake aeration manufacturer
has performed independent testing
on their diffused air system's
ability to circulate water.
Such independent testing not only distances Vertex from our competition,
but also provides Vertex the means to scientifically calculate lake turnover
rates influenced by diffuser depths, lake volume, flow and other critical
criteria to insure each Vertex system is correctly sized to meet individual
site needs. Our customers can have the utmost confidence in their Vertex
designed installations! |

Maximum
Circulation Rate Comparison
Per Horsepower |
Compare
the published GPM@ HP rates
of Otterbine & Aquatic
Eco-Systems to the 1 hp Vertex
Air 6 aeration system. Vertex
aeration systems surpass the
competition in circulating
the water column, the most
important aeration specification
for increasing dissolved oxygen
levels and improving water
quality. Vertex's higher aeration
efficiency results in lowering
equipment and installation
costs dramatically for our
customers.
