The Air 7 ™ circulates up to 28,700 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 GFCI protection on all circuits

The Vertex Air 7™ is a super-efficient, affordable and safe system for circulating up to 28,700 GPM. In a typical lake with 8 foot depths, an Air 7™ can aerate approximately 18 acres depending on dissolved oxygen demand and other factors. (2)1/3hp piston compressors, housed in our rustproof outdoor cabinet, feed seven bottom mounted CoActive AirStations™ 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 CoActive AirStations™ allow for years of high performance, reliability, low maintenance and are covered under our five-year warranty.
