Air Diffuser System
We recommend you add an air diffuser system to increase your
aeration efficiency. Attached to the diffuser unit is a built
in foot valve, the unit effectively diffuses the air at the
bottom of the pond. The air diffuser system can increase oxygen
transfer rates by more than 3 times the normal rate by breaking
the air down into smaller bubbles. It's the only true
way to harness and utilize the full power of the Turbo Jetstream's
high output compressor. With low maintenance and high performance
it forms a critical component of the Superior Windmill aeration
process.
Dual Diffuser Manifold
By adding an additional diffuser you can take advantage of the increased air output provided by Superior's Turbo Jet Stream windmill. A dual diffuser system is ideal for many situations including: long and narrow water bodies, large and shallow bodies of water, irregular shaped water bodies and regular water bodies to increase circulation thereby maximizing circulation.
The dual diffuser manifold is placed at the base of the windmill and diverts the air output from one hose into two hoses. Controllable valves are used to regulate the amount of air being sent to each diffuser. This is beneficial because if you have each diffuser at a different depth, it gives you the opportunity to balance the system by re-direct the air supply as needed. Customers are encouraged to test the manifold to optimize the output of each diffuser.
The Turbo Plus Air Diffuser comes complete with a dual diffuser manifold and fittings, 2 x 7" airstones and footvalves, 2 x 100 ft PVC 300 psi UV inhibitor air hose and pressure release valve

Fish Hatcheries
Fish Hatcheries need extra oxygen in their water to burn up additional amounts of pollution created by the large amounts of fish waste and to lower the amount of fish kill caused by the lack of oxygen.

Dugout aeration study answers
questions
by Stephen Madden, Alberta
Agriculture,
Fairview and Reynold Woelcke, PFRA, Peace River
For years there have been ongoing
debates as to the most effective methods and devices for proper dugout aeration.
To answer some of these questions, PFRA staff in Peace River
collected information that compares both different aeration
devices and the differences between aerated and non-aerated
dugouts. The three year study involved 18 dugouts located
in the Falher, Alberta area, south of Peace River.
The
main purpose of dugout aeration is to prevent the problem
of black, smelly dugout water caused by decaying
plant
matter resulting from a lack of dissolved oxygen in
the dugout water.
PFRA studies have shown that unless a dugout is properly
aerated, this problem can occur not only during winter,
but also throughout the summer months [...]
