Proper placement of pond de-icers is crucial to optimum performance. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions. The de-icer should generally be placed at the edge of the pond in a shallow area.
These Air Tube Diffusers are manufactured in the USA. They are designed to be a drop in system. The rubber membrane is wrapped around a hollow PVC tube. The air holes in our tubes are a little larger than other brands so you get a medium size bubble which does not clog and puts very little back pressure on your system. This gives you a very low maintenance and effective aeration system.
You must add small stones to the inner tube to increase the weight so it stays put on the bottom of your pond or lake. A plug is included to prevent the stones from falling out.
The inlet connector is a 3/4" male pipe thread. We offer a 3/4"fpt x 5/8" barb connector so you can connect to our 5/8" sinking air hose.
To cleanthe rubber membrane, simply wipe with a rag and clean water occasionally.
Our Matala Air Discs are 9 inch diameter and are designed for the wastewater treatment industry to very high standards.
