Airolator Aquarian Floating Aerators

Airolator Aquarian Floating Aerators

As the name suggests, floating aerators float on the water surface and use a motor driven propeller to pump large volumes of water past a diffuser into the air.  As water passes the diffuser its split into tiny micro droplets increasing the surface area of water exposed to air.  This improves gas exchange between water and air and cools the water so that when it returns to the main water body it moves down the water column dragging additional water with it in an induced flow.  The combination of pumping, induced flow and cooling create a continual turnover of the pond, lake or dam preventing stratification up to 3m deep.

Floating aerators are excellent providers of emergency aeration for preventing fish kills.  When a floating aerator is turned on, dissolved oxygen levels are increased immediately providing a refuge for fish.

Floating aerators should not be confused with floating fountains or aerating fountains.  Floating fountains are used for decoration and provide very little aeration benefit.  Although they pump water into the air in the same way as a floating aerator the volume of water is much less.  Aerating fountains are a hybrid or combination of the two.  Aerating fountains usually provide a water effect resembling an upside down cone and strike a balance between providing good levels of aeration while maintaining a decorative effect.

Airolator Aquarian floating aerators are made in the USA to high quality standards.  They use the world renowned Franklin Electric motors that have no seals or bearings to maintain, are water cooled, water lubricated, have no oil to contaminate or rob energy and are thermal overload protected. 

Propellers are high speed, foul resistant with a high shear water spraying action.  The computer designed diffuser is engineered to break up the water column for the best oxygen transfer rate. 

Airolator floats are square in shape to provide extra stability and are made of a hard polyethylene outer filled with styrene foam making sure the float will never sink even if punctured.

Airolator products are built to last.
