Description
U.S. Solar Mounts DB-36 High-Efficiency Air Diffuser
The U.S. Solar Mounts DB-36 is an innovative, high-efficiency air diffuser designed for pond and lake aeration. Unlike industry-standard diffusers that use rubber membranes, the DB-36 utilizes 36 inches of extruded EPDM fine-bubble tubing. This design significantly reduces backpressure on your compressor, helping to extend its operational life while maximizing oxygen transfer.
The unit features a heavy-duty, all-stainless steel base that is self-sinking, meaning no additional weights or bricks are required to keep it at the bottom. The stainless steel construction ensures it is completely corrosion-resistant, and all surfaces are de-burred to ensure it won't snag or damage pond liners.
Key Features:
-
High Efficiency (No Membrane): Uses fine-bubble EPDM tubing instead of traditional membranes to eliminate backpressure and increase airflow.
-
Self-Sinking Stainless Base: Rugged stainless steel frame sinks on its own and resists rust and corrosion for years of service.
-
Superior Oxygenation: Produces 3mm fine bubbles for increased diffusion rates and lifts up to 600 GPM of water at 2 CFM input.
-
Safe for Liners: All sharp edges are removed to ensure the unit is "liner friendly."
-
Built-in Convenience: Includes a deployment handle, check valve, and hose strain relief for a secure connection.
-
Made in the USA: Ruggedly constructed using high-quality American-made components.
