Diffused Aeration: Efficiencies at Depth

Able to operate in depths up to and exceeding 40ft or 12m, the Air Flo 2 is unique to the Otterbine aerators line as it uses quiet on-shore compressors that pump air to diffusers placed at pond bottom. Choose between stone diffusers or self cleaning dome diffusers, and they will then release oxygen throughout the water column creating mass circulation that mixes bottom and top water layers and breaks up thermal stratification. The result - a healthy, clean environment for aquatic habitat combined with many other benefits.

Diffused air is a simple concept which entails pumping air through a pipe or tubing and releasing this air though a diffuser below the water's surface. The Air Flo 2 system has no visible pattern allowing landscape designs to remain serene and calm.

  • Lake Management:
    The Air Flo 2 system is extremely effective in all ponds with a depth of at least 6ft (2m), and all the way up to of 40 feet (12m) depths. It breaks down thermal stratification and stimulates bottom aquatic life which feeds on algae and organic nutrients. The Air Flo 2 system is ideal for managing water quality of effluent ponds and lakes without releasing harmful particulates into the air.
  • Invisible:
    No parts of the system or a spray pattern are visible from the lake's surface. Those concerned with evaporation favor the Air Flo 2 system since no water is released into the air.
  • Safety:
    No electricity or moving parts are near the water; this makes the system entirely safe for swimming, boating, and fishing. Package electrically safety tested and listed with ETL, ETL-C. Products for European Union are also safety tested, approved and carry a 3rd party independent CE mark.
  • Cost:
    Initial cost, maintenance cost, and operational costs are all relatively inexpensive.
  • Versatile:
    One Air Flo 2 System can be used for multiple ponds by incorporating the valve box during installation.
  • Cost Effective:
    Inexpensive in terms of both capital and operation costs.
  • Flexible Options:
    Increases flexibility in water quality management programs allowing for shorter tubing requirements that offer significant cost savings; to simplified operation and ability to manage multiple ponds with one system.
  • Proven Performance:
    Otterbine is the only manufacturer to have oxygen transfer and pumping rates independently tested and published on their aeration systems.
  • Comprehensive Warranty:
    All-inclusive 2-year warranty on entire package
  • Complete Package:
    Includes compressor(s), cabinet, cabinet base, diffuser(s), valve box, valves, filter, clamps and skid.
