High-Efficiency Antimicrobial Diffuser Tubing
Great for reducing fouling – safe for fish
This low-pressure rubber/polyethylene diffuser hose is made for aquaculture. Step on it, and it springs right back. This tubing has a pressure resistance of only 12" of H2O at normal flowrates when new. Diffuser lengths of up to 20' per inlet are possible at low airflow rates. Tubing has a good oxygen transfer rate and is compatible with both regenerative blowers and linear air pumps.
More Info
The gas flowrate is an average of .1–.5 cfm/ft; higher and lower flows are possible. Tubing produces a strong volume of medium-size bubbles (approximately 3 mm). For connections, use 1/2" barb fittings with clamps. Hose ends may be heat-sealed or fitted with a plug and clamp. To counteract buoyancy, hold-downs or weights are required. For best results, the tubing should be oriented with the blue stripe on the bottom. No warranty due to individual clogging and fouling possibilities.
