    Description

    This listing is for a 100 foot length of Aeration Diffuser hose/tubing.  We will custom cut any length from 20-200 feet.
    5/8" O.D. x 1/2" I.D. NOTE* - This tube is VERY thin walled to almost eliminate any back pressure that may occur.
    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.
    We have lots of other diffuser choices but they are considerably more expensive.
    This is the least expensive option to get diffused aeration in a body of water.
    We have this same KIT with a More durable diffuser here:

    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.
    Dimensions:OD (in)/(mm)
    0.77 / 19.5
    Dimensions:ID (in)/(mm)
    1/2 / 12.7
    The manufacturer shows that this tubing will disperse from .45 cubic feet of air per foot of tubing to 1.1 cubic feet of air per foot of tubing.
    That would translate to 13 to 32 liters of air per minute per foot of tubing.
    THESE come with Hose clamps to hold the tubing to the TEE Fitting.
    GENUINE Matala Diffuser Tube
    Features and benefits:
    It is made from recycled rubber with special designed pore size and its numerous pore distributions to create maximum fine bubbles which slowly release in the water.
    Durable with low start up, maintenance and replacement cost.
    We have all supplies available as well - tubing, pumps, clamps, filters, self sink tube, diffuser's, visit our eBay store for more items.
    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.
