Air Stone - 15cm, Rectangle

Description

The Air Stone - 15cm, Rectangle is an ideal way to add oxygen to your hydroponic growing system.

Air stones aerate the nutrient solution and improve nutrient circulation which extends the life of your nutrient solution, help keep roots healthy, and promote exceptional growth.

The performance of your air stones will depend greatly on the size of the air pump/compressor that you will employ tiny air pumps will only be able to bubble ONE small air stone and performance will depend on the length and condition of the piping between the two, as well as where the air pump is placed ( at least always higher than the top of the water that is being aerated! )

Air diffuses into water whenever water comes in contact with air. This commonly occurs when water on the surface of a nutrient reservoir touches the air in a grow room or when air bubbles rise through a column of water in a reservoir. Many growers employ the combination of an air pump and air stone to add oxygen to their fertigation solution (the mixture of water and fertilizer). This is a viable option for many growers and one that is able to increase dissolved oxygen levels fairly inexpensively. An air pump pumps air through food grade plastic tubing to the bottom of the reservoir, where it is attached to an air stone. The air stone then diffuses the air into small bubbles which rise through the water, increasing the dissolved oxygen level as they rise. This also happens to be a great method for keeping ones water and fertilizer mixed, preventing the fertilizer from settling to the bottom of the reservoir.

Please Note: Exact design of air stone may vary depending on supply.
