Aquaponics & Hydroponics Air Pumps

Durable and Reliable AIR PUMPS

The Air Pump is as important as the Water Pump, because without air in the system your fish will die, and they’ll do it fast. This is because even water life needs oxygen. In fact, the water oxygen level, called dissolved oxygen, is one of the most important water quality components in an Aquaponics system; and it needs to be of sufficient quantity. The best levels of dissolved oxygen are close to 80% saturation, which translates as 6-7 parts per million–ppm (milligrams per liter). Levels below 3 ppm are a hardship on aquatic life and levels under 1 ppm are deadly.

These high levels of Dissolved Oxygen cannot be achieved by returning water, even if dropped from a height. You have to have an air pump pushing air to aerators in your tank or pond.
