HTML clipboardThe Vertex Air 3™ pond aerator is a super-efficient,
affordable and safe system for circulating up to 11,400 GPM. In a
typical lake with 8 foot depths, an Air 3™ can aerate approximately
3-5 acres depending on dissolved oxygen demand and other factors. A 1/2
hp piston compressor, housed in our rustproof outdoor cabinet, feeds
three bottom mounted CoActive AirStations™ each utilizing Vertex’s
MicronBubble™ technology. 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 systems have an industry leading two-year warranty
plus a five-year warranty against rust and corrosion on the cabinet,
five-year warranty on the AirStations™ and a 15-year warranty on
BottomLine™ supply tubing. |

HTML clipboardBuilt for continuous 24/7 operation and equipped with proprietary Vertex
SafeStart™ technology, allowing auto restart under maximum rated
pressure without motor damage. Super-duty Brookwood™ compressors
incorporate upgraded rotors, stators, valve plates, bearings and
capacitors and are thermally protected, oil-free, and require no
lubrication; just periodic cleaning of included washable air filter.
Extended duty cycle is approximately 24 to 36 months for compressor
maintenance, about 2 to 3 times the duty cycle of ordinary piston and
rotary vane compressors.

AirStations
HTML clipboard
• Independently tested pumping rates
• Two 9" flexible membrane discs with Vertex MicronBubble™ technology
• Self-cleaning, low maintenance
• Rugged EPDM construction
• One Vacuum formed and sonic welded HDPE base unit
• Lipped edge prevents sinking into soft bottom sediments
• Five-year warranty
Each AirStation™ consists of two self-cleaning, 9" diameter flexible
membrane diffusers of EPDM compound with 100% rebound memory. Each diffuser
station is equipped with a vacuum-formed HDPE base; sonic spot-welded to provide
unit integrity. Base unit (17.25"L x 13.25"W x 3.35"D) has a
hollow chamber design for the addition of gravel ballast and a lipped design to
prevent settling into soft bottom sediments. Independently tested pumping rates
provide confidence that system design will successfully provide specified oxygen
transfer to the water body.
