The Air 2™ circulates up to 8,200 GPM in deep lakes!
|
The Vertex Air 2™ is a super-efficient, affordable and safe system for circulating up to 8,200 GPM.
(circulation rates test results) In a typical lake with 8 foot depths, an Air 2™ can aerate approximately 4 acres depending on dissolved oxygen demand and other factors. A 1/3 hp piston compressor, housed in our rustproof outdoor cabinet, feeds two 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.
