Since 1986 Aquaconsult is the proud manufacturer of the most efficient and most long lasting fine bubble diffuser systems. Strip shaped diffuser technology was introduced in 1995 under the worldwide trade mark AEROSTRIP. Why are AEROSTRIP diffusers so efficient? Because size matters! small bubbles have a huge surface area. The large surface area and the excellent distribution improve oxygen transfer compared to conventional diffusers. Lower air flow rates are thus required for the same amount of oxygen transferred. This means power savings. What lifespan do the AEROSTRIP diffusers have? AEROSTRIP diffusers have an expected lifespan of 10-15 years.
