Aeration set EKUVA V-30

Purpose:

For aeration of water bodies in winter and summer. In winter, aeration protects the water body from freezing and fish suffocation; in summer, it improves the mineralization processes of the water body, clarifies, and improves water quality.

Set includes:

1. Membrane air pump HAILEA V-30 (24 months warranty)
2. Ring-shaped, perforated rubber air diffuser ø 200 mm - 1 pc.
3. Check valve 10/10 mm - 1 pc.
4. Stainless steel clamps AISI 10-16 mm - 2 pcs.
5. The set requires a 10 mm inner diameter hose. The hose is not included in the set price. Purchase the required hose length separately.

Technical specifications:

1. Airflow at 0.5 m depth - 21 l/min
2. Airflow at 1.0 m depth - 13 l/min
3. Airflow at 1.5 m depth - 6 l/min
4. Recommended diffuser immersion depth - 1-1.5 m
5. Maximum diffuser immersion depth - 1.5 m
6. Maximum recommended hose length - 25 m
7. Air pump motor power - 25 W
8. Noise level - 40 dB
9. Air pump warranty 24 months.

Installation and start-up of the aeration set:

1. First, select a location for the air pump. We recommend placing the air pump as close to the water body as possible. This will avoid greater air flow losses. The air pump can operate outdoors but must be protected from direct precipitation and severe cold. Install the air pump in a sealed box (metal, plastic, or wooden). The box does not need to be insulated but must have openings for air intake. If there is a gazebo, sauna, or other structure near the water body, install the air pump there. In both cases, ensure a safe and reliable power supply for the air pump.
2. Hose. Use a 10 mm inner diameter PVC or rubber pressure hose purchased from us or your own (the hose must have a cord. Do not use very soft, easily kinked hose). We recommend using a hose no longer than 25 m. Attach one end of the hose to the air pump outlet nozzle and tighten it securely with the included clamp. Attach the other end of the hose to the check valve and also tighten it well with a clamp. The check valve is already connected to the diffuser in the set. If you use the aeration set during the warm season, you can remove the check valve from the system. In this case, connect the hose directly to the air diffuser. This will avoid additional pressure losses. The system is ready.
3. Immersion of the air diffuser. We recommend immersing the diffuser as deep as possible (just do not exceed the maximum allowable immersion depth). The higher the water column above the diffuser, the better the air bubbles and the oxygen in them dissolve in the water, causing mixing of various water layers. The ring-shaped air diffuser is lighter than water. To immerse it, tie a synthetic rope at the hose connection to the diffuser, and attach a weight to the other end of the rope (recommended weight 0.5 - 1 kg). Immerse the prepared diffuser with the weight into your chosen location in the water body. The weight will rest on the bottom of the water body, and the diffuser will rise as much as the length of the rope allows. The recommended minimum rope length between the weight and the diffuser is 10-15 cm. This way, the diffuser will not stir up bottom sediments or cloud your water body while operating. By adjusting the rope length between the weight and the air diffuser, you can regulate the immersion depth of the diffuser. Other immersion methods can be found, but this is the simplest and works perfectly.
4. Connect the air pump to the power supply, and the aeration system will start working. If there is no need to aerate around the clock, purchase a timer and set the desired operating mode. The aeration system is designed to work both continuously and intermittently. Enjoy using it.
