The Air 2XL™ aeration system circulates
up to 16,380 GPM!

Increased dissolved oxygen
• Stops oxygen related fish kills by raising entire water
    column oxygen levels
• Reduces nutrient levels and associated algae growth
• Ends thermal stratification
• Improves fisheries by expanding oxygenated habitat
• Reduces aquatic midge and mosquito insect hatches
• Eliminates foul odors from undesirable dissolved
    gases
• SAFE - no electricity in the water and
   full GFI protection on all circuits

The Vertex Air 2XL™ is a super-efficient, affordable and safe system for circulating up to 16,380 GPM. In a typical lake with 8 foot depths, an Air 2XL™ can aerate approximately 4 acres depending on dissolved oxygen demand and other factors. A 1/3 hp piston compressor, housed in our rustproof outdoor cabinet, feeds two bottom mounted AirStationXL™ Diffusers each utilizing Vertex’s MicronBubble™ technology. The majority of bubbles are only 500 to 1000 microns in diameter. 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 self-cleaning AirStationXL™ Diffusers allow for years of high performance, reliability, low maintenance and are covered under our five-year warranty.
