AeroTube Aeration Bubble Diffuser Tubing 4' (16"Dia) 1/4" thick 600GPM USA Made

Description

NEW 4' ( 16" Diameter ) Heavy Duty 1/4" thick wall - RING Tube Diffuser tubing with ""T"" fitting 1/2"x1/2"x3/8" and 2 Gear / Worm clamps.
Tube measure 4' long when straight.
This is a very Thick Walled Diffuser tube and should be used as - 1 diffuser for any size pump 1/3hp and below or tee'd off with any pump larger than a 1/2hp and above up to 4 or 5 pieces ( would recommend a valved manifold to accomplish the correct air pressure to each diffuser )
This tubing looks similar to soaker hose, but - This is not soaker hose - this tube is made specifically
for Aeration
(air
pressure to create thousands of
bubbles)
and not for water
(similar
to a water pressure bubble drip
line)
.   Although it may look similar it is not the same thing.
This is not
self-sinking
or weighted tubing
- you will need to weigh it down for it to sink.  If attached to
self-sink
tube or PVC it normally will stay below the water but can still float - in which
case,
you will need to weight it down.
WE Also sell this with a Base + 4 LB Weight here:

THESE come with Hose clamps to hold the tubing to the TEE Fitting.

These diffusers are designed, manufactured and patented specifically for oxygen transfer and aeration efficiency.  Continuous bubble aeration tubing delivers oxygen in volumes that are unmatched by other systems, and at an energy cost that is often less than half than that of conventional systems.
The benefits of this technology include a major reduction in energy costs, significantly higher oxygen transfer rates per hour, higher dissolved oxygen (DO) levels, and an improved bottom line.
This Aeration tubing has been used successfully with a wide range of Aquaculture species and production systems.  Whether you are producing shrimp or fish, anywhere you are using traditional aeration systems to oxygenate your water, you can benefit from the efficiency and durability of this product. This Diffuser technology has numerous applications including grow out ponds, raceways, recirculating systems, hatcheries, cage culture and live-haul trucks.
In addition to aquaculture, this aeration tubing has multiple applications for all levels of wastewater management and treatment (municipal, commercial and industrial) including wastewater lagoon remediation, septic system aeration and agitation.

Subsurface aerators are a great solution for many of our customers, especially since Deep Aire subsurface aerators do not require
electricity to
be in a pond. We broke down all you need to know about one of our best pond aerators to help your pond stay clean and healthy.
Subsurface aerators, or diffused aeration systems, are designed as an alternative source of aeration, taking oxygen to a pond’s lowest depth along the bottom. Diffused air systems utilize an air compressor, located on the shore, that delivers oxygen through a hose to a special diffuser lying on the pond bottom.
A submersible aerator or large pond aerator like this one keeps the pond or lake clean and healthy without a large spray pattern. A Deep Air subsurface aeration system is perfect if you’re looking for something that requires no above surface water spray, surface obstructions, or installations that prohibit the use of electricity in the water.
PERFECT FOR
Ponds on golf courses
Ponds in public places
Any body of water that needs to regulate water aeration
Anyone wanting an aerator but not a big spray pattern
Body of water installations that prohibit the use of electricity in the water
Recreational bodies of water like lakes or swimming areas.
PERKS
No electricity required at the water’s edge. Your compressor needs electricity, but the compressor can be located wherever you desire.
No floating object on the water surface enabling you to go boating or fishing
Lower maintenance and service costs due to no moving parts in the water
Safer swimming. These systems do not require electricity to be in the pond.
Eliminates thermal stratification, making it ideal for deep-water applications
One compressor aerates one long, narrow pond, or two small ponds
Improves water quality and clarity
Low operating cost.
HOW IT WORKS
These Units are a subsurface aeration system with a piston type air compressor, air hose, and an air diffuser. Designed to improve oxygen levels and destratification in deep bodies of water.
The shore mounted rocking piston compressor produces compressed air through a air tube to a membrane diffuser located on the bottom of the pond. The compressed air is released into the water through the membrane diffuser releasing thousands of fine bubbles, which rise to the surface. As the bubbles of air rise, oxygen is transferred into the water. Simultaneously, as the bubbles rise, water is pulled upward, creating a flow of water from the bottom of the pond to the surface.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
When selecting a subsurface aeration system, consider the shape, surface area, and depth of the pond. The amount of surface area the diffused system will effectively cover is dependent on the depth of the shape of the pond. The area of coverage increases the deeper the diffuser is located in the water.
The shape of a pond also affects the number of diffusers needed. An irregular shaped pond, (i.e. kidney-shaped), rectangular, or one with an island or peninsula, will require multiple diffusers to adequately disperse the oxygen.
