INDEPENDENT TESTING RESULTS: |
Single CoActive AirStation™ with MicronBubble™ Technology Out Performs the Competition, Circulating Up to 3510 GPM!
The results are in and the Vertex CoActive AirStation™ , a lake bed airlift diffuser, passed with flying colors! Independent tests certified by Professors from the University of Missouri, Department of Environmental Engineering confirmed the pumping rates of the Vertex CoActive AirStation™ are indeed staggering — an impressive 3510 GPM at 21 feet of depth with just one CFM of air supply! |

Vertex Water Features realized that due to “smoke & mirror” claims made by many manufacturers, it was vital our clients have solid, scientific data to accurately design and size their lake aeration systems. To our knowledge, no other lake aeration manufacturer has performed independent testing on their diffused air system's ability to circulate water.
Such independent testing not only distances Vertex from our competition, but also provides Vertex the means to scientifically calculate lake turnover rates influenced by diffuser depths, lake volume, flow and other critical criteria to insure each Vertex system is correctly sized to meet individual site needs. Our customers can have the utmost confidence in their Vertex designed installations! |

Maximum Circulation Rate Comparison
Per Horsepower |
Compare the published GPM@
HP rates of Otterbine & Aquatic Eco-Systems to the 2/3 hp
Vertex Air 6 aeration system. Vertex aeration systems
surpass the competition in circulating the water column,
the most important aeration specification for increasing
dissolved oxygen levels and improving water quality.
Vertex's higher aeration efficiency results in lowering
equipment and installation costs dramatically for our
customers.
