Fine Bubble diffuser systems disperse the diffused gas volume to transfer an equivalent amount of oxygen as a coarse bubble system. The diameter of gas bubble has a dramatic impact on surface area. Comparing 1 cubic foot of air used in fine, medium, and coarse bubble systems demonstrates why fine pore diffusers optimize the use of air and reduce energy consumption. This subsurface aeration technology introduces air into water via very small (or fine) bubbles ( The primary advantage of fine bubble technology is its high efficiency, capable of providing up to 10 lb/O2 Hp-Hr, making it 40–60% more efficient than most other aeration solutions.
