How Does AirLift Aeration Work?
Our
Airlift and
AirLift XL pond
and lake aeration systems are equipped with the highly reliable,
energy efficient dual piston air compressors.
Compressed air from the compressors is transported to
AirPod™ and
AirPod XL™
air diffusers using uniquely fabricated, sinking air supply tubing.
Overall, Hydro Logic Products AirPod and AirPod XL air diffusers were carefully
designed to maximize water lift rate and transfer rate of dissolved oxygen to the
surrounding lake waters. The AirPod and AirPod XL air diffusers are installed along
the lake bottom and release millions of tiny bubbles. Most of the bubbles from the
AirPod and AirPod XL air diffusers typically range in size from 500 to 1,000 microns
in diameter.
Next, these micron-sized bubbles
force deep lake waters to the surface, thereby resulting in complete lake mixing.
In addition, dissolved oxygen is readily transferred from these tiny air bubbles
to the surrounding pond or lake waters.
