SalmoAir® was originally designed for the salmon farm industry but it turns out that it works exceptionally well with other species as well, such as trout or seabass in either fresh or salt water farmed cages. Its non-harming design reduces scale damage and injuries, reducing wound infection and improves overall fish health. The special Yellow Thermoplastic NSF coating improves longevity of the frame while controlling biofouling. Smooth design makes light work for sea farmers who will appreciate how easy it is to clean encrustation of barnacles or mussels. The low operating costs will pay for the SalmoAir® diffusers within months. Operating ranges are from 10 – 30 cfm per units. They require very little maintenance so that operating costs will be reduced. Other benefits are improved fish health which translates into greater profits due to reduced fish stress. Furthermore hypoxia is reduced with the aerating and upwelling capacity of SalmoAir®.
SalmoAir® come fully assembled and feature its specialized unique anti-fouling coating and corrosion resistance which will ensure years of heavy usage in the ocean. This state of the art upwelling system was developed by CanadianPond.ca Products Ltd. using its unique Bubble Tubing® technology which holds the world’s leading standard oxygen transfer efficiency (SOTE).
- Colder and rich in oxygen environment reduces fish stress and mortality.
- Cooler water is heavier and often stratified under warm lighter surface layer, the SalmoAir™ upweller system will uplift cooler water which is often already richer in dissolved oxygen.
- Operating costs considerably lower than competition.
- Competitive purchase pricing coupled with durable lifespan and amortization.
- Validated efficiency equals energy savings.
- Easily retrofit / exchange existing inefficient upwellers with SalmoAir™ .
- Non-fouling, low maintenance, reliable, easily serviced above and below the water!
- 3rd party tested at C-CORE and Fisheries and Marine Institute (Memorial University, NL, Canada).
- Product development done in actual salmon farms in real conditions for over a decade.
- Positive fish farmers feedback (deployment, maintenance and upwelling results).
- Canadian design and manufacture available for the world aquaculture.
- Patent pending.
- Full 2 years warranty.
- Operates as low as 10 up to 30 cfm. Can handle up to 100 cfm if needed.
