Our AirLift 2™ aeration system is powered by a 1/3 H.P. energy efficient, dual piston air compressor equipped with our proprietary SureStart™ and AirSaver Timer™ (optional) technologies. SureStart™ enables our compressors to start against full back pressure and prevents the motor from overheating. Our dual piston air compressor, which can deliver air under high pressures (water depths up to 60 feet), operate very quietly (55 decibels at 2 meters/6 feet).
Our AirLift 2™ aeration system contains two AirPod™ air diffusers. Each AirPod™ contains a self-cleaning 24-inch tube, EPDM flexible membrane air diffuser equipped with a triple check valve system. Our air diffuser is constructed to withstand total airflow from the compressor without damaging the EPDM membrane (unlike EPDM disc air diffusers). The base of the AirPod™ provides a large surface area between the EPDM membrane and the sediments, thereby preventing sediment disturbance during system operation. The AirPod™ is extremely easy to install. Simply fill the two ballast tubes with pea gravel or sand prior to their placement in the pond or lake.
Compressed air from our dual piston compressor is delivered to the AirPods™ using our DownUnder™ self-weighted tubing. DownUnder™ air supply tubing is constructed of a flexible PVC composite and is kink proof and puncture resistant. Our easy to install tubing comes in several different lengths and diameters to meet your installation needs.
- 1/3 HP dual piston air compressor with integral thermal motor overload protection
- Produce high airflow volumes (4.6 cfm @ 0 psi) & operate under high pressures (40 psi max.)
- Oil-less air compressor that will not contaminate the pond and is virtually maintenance free
- Liquid-filled pressure gauge
- Adjustable pressure relief valve
- Ground Fault Circuit Interupter (GFCI)
- 6’ grounded plug
- SureStart™ technology allows air compressor to restart under pressure after power outages
- High air pressure allows diffusers to be easily cleaned (unlike rotary vane compressors)
- U.L. listed motor, 120 or 240 volt (4.2 or 2.1 amps) for typical operating pressure of 8 psi
- 5-micron air filter maximizes air compressor life expectancy
- Easy field repairs – plumbing connections with push-on fittings & flexible 100 psi tubing
- Noise reduction – mounted on cylindrical vibration pads & connected with flexible tubing
- Extremely quiet operation (55 decibels @ 2 meters or 6 feet @ 20 psi)
- Two-year warranty (best in the industry)
