AquaAir Diffused Canal Aerator

The AquAir series of Reservoir aerators - Aeration and water management for Canals at Heathland Aquatic Engineering Norfolk and throughout the UK

Reliable aeration for canals

Every managed body of water must have a reliable aeration solution in place. Superior aeration and de-stratification is essential for canals that require:

Canal aeration compressors - Canal aerators supplied and installed by Heathland Aquatic Engineering UK
  1. A more natural setting
  2. Permit safe recreational use
  3. Require non-moving parts
  4. Are very deep or large canals
  5. Require non-electrical parts in the reservoir
  6. No noise aerators
  7. Minimal surface water disturbance

AquaAir diffused aeration systems are a perfect choice for aeration in canals. These aeration units offer low power consumption compared to traditional style aerators and have no requirement for electrical components in the canal.

AquaAir single aeration canal diffuser - Aeration for Canals supplied and installed by Heathland Aquatic, Norfolk and UK Aquair dual aeration canal diffusers - Canal aerators supplied and fitted by Heathland Aquatic, Essex, Suffolk & Norfolk

Aqua Air provides canals with high end aeration, circulation and de-stratification. Using bottom fitted diffusers, dissolved oxygen (DO) levels increase throughout the entire water column in the canal. The diffusers employ a tremendous fine micro-bubble technology leading to the highest diffuser oxygen transfer rate (OTR) available today. The micro-bubbles bring water from the canal floor to the surface where atmospheric oxygen is absorbed and is then transferred throughout the water column. This process creates a circulating flow and provides fantastic deterrence for thermal stratification (layers involving different temperatures inside the water).

The diffusers are linked by self-weighted Super Sink Air Tubing to an innovative cylindrical design enclosure contain one compressor (among four sizes of compressor). (1/3 - 1HP) ranged system sizes; operate with (1 - 6) diffusers.

Key Features of AquaAir Diffused Aeration for canals

  • Overall water column circulation - up to 4000 GPM determined by diffuser depth
  • Eradicates thermal stratification in canals
  • Increased dissolved oxygen (DO) levels reduces algae growth
  • Expansion of the oxygenated habitat and ecosystem of the canal
  • Reduces mosquito and aquatic midge-fly harmful infestations
  • Eliminate foul odours in your canal
  • Reduces bottom sludge accumulation in the canal
  • Super sink air tubing is flexible and won't crack even in cold temperatures
  • Two available sizes of 100' coils
  • For quick connections super sink air T=tubing utilize PVC insert fittings
  • Three diffusers are available
