Vertex® XL5 Aeration Systems

Free Shipping in the USA

Vertex diffused aeration systems are super-efficient, affordable and safe. The rising force of millions of bubbles transports bottom water to the surface, allowing oxygen to be absorbed and circulating the entire water column. The XL5 systems come with Co-Active Airstations that are equipped with five fine-bubble EPDM disc diffusers mounted on a weighted and reinforced base. The 5-disc configuration creates extreme pumping and lifting action, see chart below for various pumping rates at various depths of each XL5 diffuser assembly.. These High Flow aeration systems are available from 3/4 HP to 1.5 HP with from one to four XL5 Airstations included.

 

Extreme Pumping Rates for Maximum Aeration and Turnover

The chart below shows the measured pumping/lfting rates in gallons per minute of each of the Co-Active Air Stations at different depths. By harnassing the rising power of the microbubbvles of air and the large surface area of bubble releasing EPDM on the 5 disc diffusers un-rivalled energy efficiency and pumping rates can be achieved. The more volume that is moved from the bottom of the body of water to the surface, the more aeration and mixing can be provided.
 

QuietAir Cabinet

Enclosure comes equipped with barrel lock for security, fully gasketed and constructed of aluminum with gray electrostatically-bonded powder coating to provide lifetime warranty against rust. Enclosure furnished with stamped ventilation grill to insure forced air circulation and an integral cooling fan with thermal protection, producing 290 CFM to guard against excessive compressor operating temperatures. This system is equipped with Vertex SafeStart technology allowing auto restart under maximum rated pressure without motor damage. Cabinet provided with HDPE mounting pad (24" x 24" x 2"). Enclosure comes equipped with class A GFIC circuit protection for all electrical components. 230 volt systems require the purchaser to provide GFIC protection on their electrical supply circuit.

• Class "A" GFCI protection on all 115V circuits
• Powder coated aluminum for a durable & attractive finish
• Two high capacity 290 CFM cooling fans
• Quiet operation with gasketed and sealed openings
• Easy access design with oversized lid
• Equipped with a barrel lock for increased security
• Easy plug-in connection to waterside electrical service
• Heavy duty mounting pad included
• Limited lifetime cabinet warranty against rust and corrosion.

Brookwood 3/4 HP Compressors

• 3/4 Hp (0.56 kW) Vertex HighFlow Series - Systems include either one or two compressors working togeter depending on the system
• 5.6 CFM, 25 Max PSI, 115v or 230v
• Highest flow rate of any compressor in its class
• Thermal overload protection
• 2-4 year extended duty cycle between scheduled maintenance

Built for continuous 24/7 operation. Super-duty Brookwood HighFlow compressors incorporate upgraded rotors, stators, bearings and capacitors and are thermally protected, oil-free, and require no lubrication; just periodic replacement of air filter. Extended duty cycle is approximately 2 to 4 years for compressor service, about 2 to 4 times the duty cycle of ordinary piston and rotary vane compressors. All Brookwood HighFlow compressors carry a 2-year warranty.

XL5 Co-Active Airstations

Diffuser station consists of five self-cleaning, 9" diameter, flexible-membrane diffusers of EPDM compound with 100% rebound memory, each producing millions of fine 500 to 3000 micron bubbles. Includes FlowControl technology that equalizes airflow to all diffusers on uneven bottoms and StableTrak technology which stabilizes the bubble column increasing pumping velocity. Each diffuser station is equipped with a vacuum-formed HDPE base, sonic spot-welded to provide unit integrity. Base unit (28.0"L x 28.0"W x 10.5"D) has a hollow chamber design for the addition of inert pea gravel ballast and have lipped design to prevent settling into soft bottom sediments.

• Pumping capacity up to 14,300 GPM
• Huge 5.4 ft 2 lifting surface
• One XL5 AirStation with five self-cleaning, low maintenance flexible membrane discs
• StableTraktechnology stabilizes air column increasing lift velocity
• FlowControl technology equalizes airflow to all diffusers on uneven bottoms
• 5-year warranty
