How AeroFlux Works
Unlike traditional diffuser-based aerators, AeroFlux’s self-sinking hose delivers micro-bubbles along its entire length. Its proprietary composite design, protected by a 10-patent portfolio, enables precise micro-bubble aeration technology.
The hose consists of a flexible main hose portion and up to two protective layers, made of the same base polymers. All layers are co-extruded through a precise, multi-stage process. The main hose portion contains fillers, low-temperature plasticizers, and heat stabilizers to enhance biofouling resistance, chemical durability, and flexibility in cold environments. Protective layers, added as needed, may include polyurethane for tear resistance or silicone rubber for weather and chemical protection.
Uniform micro-apertures are distributed across the hose length and layers. The hose and protective layers have shape memory, so the apertures self-close when airflow is low and open under sufficient air pressure. This mechanism ensures consistent micro-bubble distribution and precise aeration along the entire diffuser hose.
AeroFlux uses advanced material engineering to manufacture aeration diffuser hoses with tailored properties. The same extrusion technology allows us to vary base polymers to optimize performance for specific environments. Unlike conventional PVC hoses, AeroFlux hoses deliver superior durability and weather resistance, extending service life and reducing maintenance. All materials are eco-friendly, low in toxicity, and industrially recyclable, reducing environmental impact while maintaining high performance.
Core Engineering Features
Discover how AeroFlux achieves aeration efficiency, durability, and long-term performance
AeroFlux’s materials are engineered with a high specific gravity, giving the hose natural negative buoyancy. This allows it to sink and stay in place without external weights or toxic lead clips used in traditional systems, resulting in a simpler installation and safer underwater operation.
Self-closing apertures prevent debris intrusion and reduce clogging. In addition, select base polymers naturally resist biofouling or can be enhanced with fillers like copper oxide (CuO). This minimizes maintenance needs and extends service life in demanding aquatic environments.
Through precise material engineering, AeroFlux aeration hoses are able to maintain consistent internal pressure along lengths up to 1,000 m, delivering even airflow and fine micro-bubbles for optimal oxygen transfer efficiency, especially in large-scale lake and wide-ranging applications.
Unlike conventional PVC or PE aeration tubes that harden over time and easily kink after winding, AeroFlux hoses retain flexibility and strong shape memory through a specialized cooling process during manufacturing. This ensures reliable anti-kink performance, facilitating easy installation.
Scalable Aeration Hose Setup
Flexible configurations and simple installation make AeroFlux hoses suitable for any aquatic aeration need.
AeroFlux hoses can be used individually or connected into modular networks and grids, adapting to diverse aeration layouts and user requirements.
Since the hose itself acts as the diffuser, there are no submerged electrical or moving parts, reducing mechanical failures and maintenance needs.
AeroFlux hoses are compatible with a wide range of air pumps and compressors (25–500 W), suiting setups from small ponds to large industrial systems.
