Improve Dissolved Oxygen in Hydroponic Reservoirs
Maintaining adequate dissolved oxygen levels is important in hydroponic growing systems, particularly where plant roots remain submerged in nutrient solution.
When connected to suitable air stones, the Hailea ACO-96 Air Pump delivers air into the water, creating bubbles that encourage gas exchange and help maintain dissolved oxygen availability.
Effective reservoir aeration can help:
- Support healthy root development
- Maintain dissolved oxygen levels in nutrient solutions
- Improve water movement within the reservoir
- Reduce stagnant areas in water tanks
- Support more consistent root-zone conditions
Adjustable Airflow for Greater Control
Each Hailea ACO-96 Series Air Pump features an adjustable airflow control, allowing you to regulate the amount of air delivered to your system.
This is particularly useful when operating different sizes of air stones or adjusting aeration to suit the requirements of your reservoir.
For multi-outlet pumps, the total available airflow is shared between the connected outlets rather than delivered in full through each individual outlet.
Super Silent Operation with Reduced Vibration
The Hailea ACO-96 Series is designed to operate quietly, making it suitable for indoor growing environments and aquarium installations.
Built-in noise-reducing components help minimise operating sound, while rubber support feet absorb vibration and reduce contact noise.
For best results, position the pump on a stable, level surface away from objects that could amplify vibration.
Energy-Efficient Aeration
Hailea ACO-96 Pumps combine strong airflow performance with low electrical consumption.
Depending on the selected model, power consumption ranges from just 2W to 15W, making the range suitable for applications where air pumps operate for extended periods.
Ideal for DWC & Multi-Pot Hydroponic Systems
The Hailea ACO-96 range is particularly well suited to Deep Water Culture (DWC) and Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC) systems.
In these systems, air pumps are commonly used to supply submerged air stones, helping maintain oxygen availability around plant roots.
Models with multiple outlets allow several air stones to be connected to one pump, reducing the need for separate units.
How to Install a Hailea ACO-96 Air Pump
- Position the air pump on a dry, stable surface above the reservoir water level where possible.
- Connect compatible air line tubing to the pump outlet or outlets.
- Attach a suitable air stone to the opposite end of each air line.
- Place the air stones inside the water or nutrient reservoir.
- Connect the pump to a suitable electrical supply.
- Adjust the airflow using the control on the pump.
- Check that air is being delivered consistently through the connected stones.
Important: These air pumps are designed to remain outside the water. Keep the pump dry and use a suitable air line non-return valve where necessary to prevent water flowing backwards into the pump when switched off.
Ideal Applications
- Deep Water Culture (DWC) hydroponics
- Recirculating Deep Water Culture (RDWC)
- Hydroponic nutrient reservoir aeration
- Single and multiple air stone installations
- Aquarium aeration
- Small water tank aeration
- Hydroponic propagation systems
- Waterfarm and Aquafarm air-driven systems where compatible
- Air curtains and aquarium diffusers
