growth
•
Oxidized/reduced organic bottom muck
•
Improved fisheries by expanding oxygenated habitat
•
Reduced aquatic midge and mosquito insect hatches
•
Elimination of foul odors from undesirable
dissolved
gases
•
Safe entry - no electricity in the water,
GFI
protection on all circuits
•
Extended warranties on all system components
The Vertex Air 6™ pond
aerator is a super-efficient, affordable
and safe system for circulating up to 22,600
GPM. In a typical lake with 8 foot depths,
an Air 6™ can aerate approximately
5-8 acres depending on dissolved oxygen
demand and other factors. Two 1/3 hp piston
compressors, housed in our rustproof outdoor
cabinet, feed six 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.

• Full
two-year Vertex warranty
•
Vertex SafeStart™ Compressor Technology
•
U.L., 115 volt, single phase, max 25 PSI
•
Thermal overload protection
•
(2) 1/3 hp for exceptionally low monthly electrical costs
•
8.6 amps and 8.4 CFM at typical 10 PSI operating pressure
•
2-3 year extended duty cycle between scheduled maintenance
Built 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.

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. |
| BottomLine™ Supply Tubing |
|
|
FEATURES |
|
|
|
• Over-sized
0.58” ID for high flow rates
•
Heavy duty wall thickness (0.235") for durability
•
Suitable for use with all Vertex AirStations™
•
15-year Vertex warranty
•
Self-weighted for fast & easy installation
•
Available in 100 and 500 feet increments
Self-weighted, direct burial submersible tubing
for connection from compressor to diffuser stations.
Tubing is flexible PVC composite construction for
use with standard PVC solvent weld cement and 0.5" insert
fittings. Tubing has a smooth walled, 0.58" I.D.
for extra high flow rates with minimum pressure loss
to reduce backpressure and extend compressor life.
0.235" tube wall thickness provides long-term
durability and protection against kinking and punctures.
BottomLine™ tubing remains flexible in cold
temperatures allowing for easy year round installations. |
