We recommend using ByoFix Lake Bacteria - 1Kg alongside an aerator to improve water quality by increasing and maintaining beneficial aerobic bacteria levels.
System capability based on water depth 2.4 metres or deeper. Shallower water may require the system to be upsized due to reduced efficiency.

The Robust-Aire systems are best suited to lake waters of 8ft (2.4m) depth or greater for optimal efficiency but can be used in shallower waters (at a reduced rate of efficiency). Diffused Aeration is well suited to lakes where surface water disturbance is not tolerable (i.e. using fountain style aeration) and will simply produce zones of surface bubbles with minimal evaporation issues and noise levels.
The Robust-Aire diffused aeration system is designed to be easily assembled and simple to install, with the diffuser manifolds featuring a self-weighted, stainless steel base that will always land upright when dropped into the lake and porous neoprene diffuser lines for maximum longevity. The Robust-Aire has been manufactured to incorporate a strain relief system to keep hoses and connections from being bent or deformed which would otherwise lower the efficiency of the unit. The innovative diffuser manifold is equipped with edge guards to protect from puncturing pond or lake liners.
The air compressor can be floor mounted within its cabinet. The compact, powerful 230V/50Hz Single Phase compressors produces low noise levels of around 65dB.
Water Garden Ltd offer 11 pre-packaged systems to suit virtually any lake management application. The optional Sure-Sink weighted air hose can then be selected depending on the location of the compressor to the submerged diffuser(s). For hose runs over 90 metres, we suggest the use of 5/8" Sure-Sink hose.
The Robust-Aire features market-leading diffused oxygen transfer rates and can be used to aerate feature lakes, fisheries, large ponds, golf course lakes, recreational lakes and attenuation ponds amongst other aquatic applications.
