Bubble Tubing®, Fine Bubble Linear Diffuser
Exclusive to CanadianPond.ca, Bubble Tubing® is a linear air diffuser for aeration, de-icing and bubble curtains. It is designed and manufactured in Canada under our specifications. It provides a substantial and efficient transfer of oxygen to water. Benefits Fine bubble diffusers such as our Bubble Tubing® produce many tiny air bubbles (between 1 and 3 mm). These tiny bubbles rise steadily from the depths of all manners of aquatic landscapes, from wastewater treatment basins, to waterways, canals, ponds, lakes and lagoons. These bubbles provide a substantial and efficient mass transfer of oxygen into water. This oxygen, combined with organic nutrient sources, such as sewage and sediments, allows naturally occurring bacteria to produce enzymes to help break these sources down. Available Formats (Inside Diameters) 15 mm ( ½”) : Standard kits available online to purchase. 20 mm ( ¾”) : Contact us for a quote 25 mm (1”) : Contact us for a quote 30 mm ( 1 ¼”) : Contact us for a quote High oxygen transfer rate. A full evaluation of its oxygen transfer capabilities by an independent firm is available on demand. Applications range from farm ponds to the largest industrial projects. Suitable for fresh and saltwater applications, from shallow to deep waters. Inner pressure prevents clogging; tubing is low maintenance and anti-fouling. No moving parts or electricity in the water. Highly resistant PVC (chemicals, salinity, temperature). Weighted and non-weighted formats available. Tubing can be purchased with all the necessary hardware, ready to install. Our Bubble Tubing® Products Bubble Tubing® is sold standard cut, custom per foot, or by rolls of 500′. Contact us for prices and details.It is also a component of: CanadianAir Aeration Systems Mini-Air System Thawline Bubbler Deicers OctoAir Industrial Diffuser for aeration or deicing (embedded in the stainless steel frame) SalmoAir® Diffuser for upwelling in Aquaculture Technical specifications Made using highly resistant and flexible PVC plastic, Bubble Tubing® keeps its shape and does not kink. When entering the tube, the compressed air creates an internal pressure. Precise perforations on both sides, going the entire length of the hose, allow this compressed air to be released in microscopic bubbles. Their size helps prevent the hose from fouling, a common problem seen in porous diffusers. Once released, the rising air forms a uniform bubble curtain that optimizes the transfer of oxygen. It also promotes water circulation throughout the water column, as it creates a rising current. Using Bubble Tubing® reduces pressure drops and does not require any underwater electricity. Bubble Tubing® offers a superior global aeration performance compared to other aeration devices. Bubble Tubing® reduces power consumption, installation and maintenance costs substantially. When used in de-icing, the bubbles exiting the Bubble Tubing® drag the denser, heavier and warmer water from the depths to the surface. This movement of warmer water inhibits the formation of ice. Bubble Tubing® has an excellent Standard Oxygen Transfer Efficiency (SOTE) and a great Standard Aeration Efficiency (SAE). Please note that Bubble Tubing® will float in salt water.

The tests were carried out on the ½”, ¾” Bubble tubing® and the OctoAir-10 industrial diffuser. In the summer of 2017 we gave GSEE Inc. another mandate to test the Bubble Tubing® at higher airflows and deeper depths, while also carrying out testing on our 1” Bubble tubing® and OctoAir-60 industrial diffuser. “Overall, the results obtained for the CanadianPond.ca Products Ltd. aeration systems were uniformly excellent and produced some of the highest SOTE values GSEE Inc. has observed.”Gerald L.Shell GSEE Environmental Consultants, LaVergne, TN, Sept.2011 Tech Sheet (PDF) Operations / Installation No matter the scale of operations the same basic principle applies: a compressor is connected to Bubble Tubing® through a heat hose line equipped with a check valve. We offer all the necessary products from start to finish to fully set-up a reliable and efficient aeration system for you. We can size the compressor for the application, suggest tubing layout, suggest cost effective design modifications, and offer to troubleshoot. Our experience designing aeration and de-icing systems with Bubble Tubing® is substantial, and our expertise is sought for many aeration projects. How to install Bubble Tubing (PDF) Installation Manual (PDF) Bubble Tubbing® require a compressor, costumers may choose between piston or diaphragm compressor. (Shop compressors here.) Compressor must be installed in a cabinet. This cabinet need to allow good air circulation to avoid overheating and protect de compressor from the weather. (More about cabinets here.) If the compressor is not installed in a cabinet, it is necessary that it is protected by a ventiled shelter. Once the shelter is identified, you will need to mount the compressor on its base and secure it with screws either to the wall, floor or on a shelf. Securing the base prevents the compressor from moving while it is running. It is not recommended to use an extension cord, make sure the electrical outlet is within reach of the compressor and fan wires; 1.8 m (6 feet). Schematic of a diffuser with Bubble Tubbing®; Before connecting the Bubble Tubing® to the feeder line, unroll it, making sure it is not twisted. Tubing well straighten allows a uniform dispersion of air through all its length. Let the tubing rest unrolled before the installation of the system. Bubble Tubing® is also compatible with torpedo. (More about Torpedo here.) If requested in advance, the Bubble Tubing® can already be connected to the check valve (assembly cost may apply). If installed in a large pond, Bubble Tubbing® installation can be done with a boat. Compressor must be started, unroll the pre-assembled hose to the shore and put the rest of the roll in the boat. While keeping the Torpedo feeder line in hands, go on the water and uncoil the Torpedo line until you reach the desired location for the Bubble Tubbing® diffuser. With the diffuser already connected to the Torpedo air feeder line, slowly continue lowering into the water the diffuser as it self-sinks to the bottom. With the compressor turned on, you should see bubbles and be able to use them as visual reference to make sure the tubing is diffusing through its length. If installed in a smaller pond, it is also very possible to install the system without a boat. (It is even recommended.) Start the compressor right before installing the diffuser in the water, the bubble will guide you to settle the diffuser at the desired place in the water. TUse a long rope (twice the length of the pond) and a small cord (1 to 2 feet long). Form a loop at the end of the diffuser using the small cord (loop shown in the images below). Pass the long rope through this loop, and while holding both ends of the long rope, use it to pull the diffuser into place in the water. The diffuser will sink into place at the bottom of the water. A second person should be hanging on the feeder line to help with the placement of the diffuser. Once in line with the wanted position, release one end of the long rope and pull on the other end to retrieve your rope. Do not underestimate positionning of the Bubble Tubing®, air is lazy, it will find the quickest way to go up. Place the Bubble Tubing® at the same depth keeping it as level as possible (maximum 1 foot drop). The tubing can be placed in a circle, curve, or straight line to follow a continuous bathymetric line (level curve at the bottom of the pond). Note that even if the Bubble Tubing® does not bubble evenly, you will still ensure a “vertical” water circulation in your pond. We recommend the use of a "depth finder" tool if you do not know the level curve at the bottom of the pond. If you install your unit into a body of water that is extremely stratified, use caution as you start it up. Suggested startup time for the unit for a stratified lake might be initially running for 1 hour per day during daylight hours for the first week and gradually increase operation by increment of 1 hour until running continuously. Sunny days are preferable to cloudy days because photosynthesis provides oxygen while the water circulates and mixes. For more information on the soft start procedure, click here.

EPDM Membrane Disc Diffuser
Our expertise in aeration comes from our many years of experience in the field of air diffusion technologies. EPDM membrane disc diffusers are replacement parts for vertex diffusers. Benefits EPDM discs are replacement parts for vertex diffusers. We recommend, however, that you look into the alternative of changing all your diffusers to Piccolos or Robust-Air as they are much more reliable over time. Here are the advantages seen when using bottom aeration: Circulation of the entire water column in relation to the depth of the diffuser and the volume of air injected; Elimination of thermal stratification (generally prohibited in the case of natural trout lakes); Increase in dissolved oxygen levels, which stimulates the natural aerobic digestion process, thus reducing the thickness of organic silt and the accumulation of sediment; Prevents fish kills during winter by increasing the oxygen available in their habitat; Reduces mosquito populations; Eliminates foul odors from unwanted gases; Reduces organic bottom sediments by avoiding sediment anoxia; Sequestration of phosphorus in sediments; Preservation of a healthy aquatic ecosystem. Technical Specifications Each of these durable EPDM diaphragm discs is composed of over 1,000 small perforations that release microbubbles when the compressor pressure tensions the diaphragm. The flexible membrane is automatically cleaned by the micro pulses produced by the compressor that feeds it (not included). The disc never clogs, even at the bottom of the muddiest lakes. Salty, hard, or muddy water is not a problem with this high-performance diffusion disc. Most of the fine bubbles released by this disc are no larger than 0.5 to 1.0 millimeters in diameter. The principle of fine bubbles is of paramount importance for several reasons: they offer a large air/water exchange surface for better oxygen diffusion; they rise very slowly to the surface and stay longer in the water than large bubbles and finally they produce a more intense water movement. These discs are perfect to be added to existing systems. You will be surprised how your old compressor will run more smoothly while consuming less energy for more air injected into the water. Ideal diffusion system for ponds or lakes that have very steep slopes or very deep-water bodies. Diffuser Type: 7'' or 9'' round disc, depending on the choice, working with a flexible EPDM membrane. CFM: 0.5 - 3 cfm for 7" disks, 0.5 - 6 cfm for 9" disks Bubble size: Fine Minimum pressure: 0.5 to 0.6 PSI

(***) Unit manufactured in SS316 is also available upon request. Tech Sheet OctoAir (PDF) The OctoAir-60 was designed and developed specifically for large scale aeration and industrial de-icing projects. With an air flow rate of up to 75 CFM, 300 feet of ¾” Bubble Tubing® contained in the structure of the OctoAir-60 allows for greater oxygen transfer performance. The diffuser is designed to allow for feeding air into the ¾” Bubble Tubing® from both ends. Applications that require a diffuser of industrial strength, corrosion resistance, easy manoeuvrability, and high efficiency will be well served with the OctoAir-60. Operation and Safety Compressed air is pushed through airline feeder hose to the OctoAir™ diffuser. Microbubbles are simultaneously released through the microscopic holes along the entire length of Bubble Tubing®. The constant release of fine bubbles allow for a high oxygen transfer rate in water while creating a significant ascending current that moves warmer and denser water upwards against the inner ice above. The OctoAir also modifies the water's density by introducing more air. This reduction in density, due to the regular output of bubbles, produces an optimal warm water circulation and thus helps melt the ice. In situations in which the OctoAir is already in place, it presents a reliable and efficient prevention of ice accumulation, even in the coldest of temperatures. There are no moving parts in the water, which is very efficient and cost effective.Please check with the authorities to make sure that adding de-icers is authorized in your municipality. The thin ice and open area should be well marked out with a sign to warn people of danger in winter. This is to be done with every type of de-icer and defroster.Cleaning your diffusers: OctoAirs require Bio-Purge to clean the diffuser once per year, depending on water conditions. The diffuser remains in the water for the duration of the cleaning, as the Bio-Purge is poured into the airline hose from the compressor. Maintenance has never been easier! Security Check with local authorities to ensure that the addition of de-icers is permitted in your municipality. The de-icing area should be clearly marked with a sign to warn anyone of the danger. For use with all types of de-icing systems. Click here to purchase the thin ice sign.

No electrical connection included. Please consult a qualified electrician for all electrical connections. With a cabinet: For installations with a cabinet, be sure that both the inlet vents (under the cabinet) and louvers are not blocked as fresh air is needed to keep the compressor from overheating. The cabinet can be placed directly on the ground or can be permanently attached to a concrete pad. The bottom feet of the cabinet have an insert which can be used to anchor the cabinet in place. The cabinet should be placed near the electrical panel which will provide power to the system. The adapter will already be connected to the compressor. There are no electrical outlets included in the cabinet. Make sure an electrical connection is available for each fan of the cabinet to ensure proper ventilation of the compressor and avoid overheating. For the electrical connections, consult a qualified electrician. For ease of maintenance or increased ventilation, the lid and the walls of the cabinet can be removed to expose the compressor. Four (4) bolts at the bottom of the cabinet are to be removed to release the sides. Without a cabinet: For specific installations, a version without the cabinet is available. If a manifold is used, a manifold stand is a best practice. Assembly instructions (PDF): Click Here Operation and Safety Maintenance: Check the compressor intake filter after the first 500 hours of operation. CanadianPond.ca Products Ltd. recommends checking the filter every month. Clean or replace as necessary. Failure to maintain a clean air filter will lead to premature failure and decreased performance of the compressor. Check oil regularly. For more information regarding the compressor, turn to the Busch compressor manual or contact Bush for maintenance services. Security: WARNING!- Necessary precautions must be taken when handling electric components with moving parts.- Consult a qualified electrician for electrical installation.- Lock out and tag out the electrical source before handling and performing maintenance.
