Description
Vertex Air 4 Aeration System
The Vertex Air 4 Aeration System is a super-efficient, affordable and safe system. In a typical pond, an Air 4 can aerate approximately 5-7 acres depending on shape, slope, oxygen demand and other factors. Two 1/2 hp (0.37kW) Brookwood™ SafeStart™ compressors, housed in our rustproof aluminum outdoor cabinet, feed four bottom mounted CoActive AirStations™ utilizing Vertex’s MicronBubble™ technology. 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 and poisonous gasses expelled.
Our systems have a full 3-year Vertex warranty, excluding wearable parts (air filters and compressor maintenance kits) plus a Limited Lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion on the cabinet, 5-year warranty on the AirStations™ and a 15-year warranty on BottomLine™ supply tubing.
