Bio-Purge, Diffuser Cleaning and Biofilm Control - NSF
If you are noticing that your diffusers are releasing fewer and fewer bubbles, then likely a biofilm is forming a coating that is restricting airflow by blocking the perforations. Benefits Bio-Purge is our leading cleaning/maintenance product for underwater air diffusion systems, including aeration discs and Bubble Tubing®. As with any aeration product, over time air diffusers and bubble tubing will benefit from a maintenance treatment to remove any calcium deposits or organic biofilm that may coat their surfaces and inhibit airflow. Technical Specifications Bio-Purge is a maintenance product designed to clean aeration lines and diffusers. Biofilm develops slowly covering the small holes designed to release micro-bubbles of air. Factors such as temperature, water quality, water hardness, pH and air pressure all effect if or when a biofilm may form, which explains why there are instances when no biofilm develops, or biofilm develops rapidly. To counter this problem use Bio-Purge which is an environmentally friendly product to eliminate the bio-film or calcium deposits that may be hindering the efficiency of your aeration system. Similar in characteristics and effectiveness as such well known products as “CLR”, Bio-Purge is designed for use in drinkable water. It is certified ANSI/NSF, and is a product currently used in municipal water treatment reservoirs and is also recommended by Health Canada and the Ministry of Environment (MDDEP). Approved for use both in the US (CFR) and Canada. Bio-Purge is safe for use in all aquatic environments. Bio-Purge replaces muriatic acid as an effective cleaner and declogger of airstones. Cleaning diffusers or cleaning airstones with diluted muriatic acid solutions is a thing of the past. Beyond cleaning diffusers and tubing, Bio-Purge is an excellent dispersant/bio-penetrant specifically formulated to control iron, scale, bio fouling, and other filter related problems in potable or industrial water systems. Bio-Purge is a non-phosphate-based product that may be used in water systems to clear away oxidized metal build up, scale deposits, and when used in conjunction with a biocide, bacterial species from filter media. We guarantee that the product has been manufactured under strict quality control standards that ensure optimal product quality. SDS (PDF) Dosage and Application DOSAGE: Bubble Tubing® ½ I.D.: 1 liter per 100 ft of tubing Bubble Tubing® ¾ I.D.: 1.5 liter per 100 ft of tubing Membrane diffuser disc: 125 ml per diffuser INSTRUCTIONS:Step 1: Disconnect the main airline(s) that leads to your diffuser disc, air stone or BubbleTubing®.Step 2: Pour in an appropriate amount of Bio-Purge liquid into the airline(s).Step 3: Re-connect the main airline and turn on the compressor briefly to distribute the liquid into all of the diffuser discs, air stones or Bubble Tubing®.Step 4: Turn off your compressor to allow the Bio-Purge to completely dissolve the biofilm.

Technical Specifications Rocking Piston Compressors Twenty years ago, it was rare to see anyone using the rocking piston compressor (also called oscillating piston compressor) for aeration of ponds and lakes. Gradually they became the heart and soul of aquatic aeration systems. Rocking piston compressors operate without oil, are economical, powerful and efficient. They are divided into 2 groups: single piston and double piston compressors. The single piston is ¼HP or ⅓HP, while the double piston is ½ HP or ¾ HP. The air pressure is 25 to 100 psi or 1.72 bar to 3.45 bar. As a general rule of thumb, the more pressure the compressor develops, the less air flow is available. The air flow rate is between 2 and 8 CFM, or 0.06m³-0.23m³ per minute. The common brands are Thomas and Gast, but they can now be found on the market under different names such as: Sweetwater, Brockwood, Matala, Stratus and Tech-Aire reciprocating compressors. They all share the same principle of operation and work perfectly with many types of diffusers.These compressors are sold in Kasco Marine's Robust-Aire systems and are also used in CanadianAir Aeration systems.Piston Compressor Data Sheet (PDF) Tech-Aire owner's manual (PDF) Warranty is void if: The compressor is not maintained properly according to the maintenance recommendations supplied in this manual.
