Introducing the HIBLOW Adjustable Height Pond Diffuser


HIBLOW USA is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovation: the HIBLOW Adjustable Height Pond Diffuser.

Use HIBLOW Linear Pond aerators for Deeper Water Applications

  • Adjustable Height Options: With six height settings ranging from 11.5” to 35.5”, HIBLOW aerators can now efficiently aerate ponds up to 13’ deep, replacing the costly rocking piston technology typically used at depths beyond 8–10 feet.
  • Energy Efficiency: Most HIBLOW aerators operate at 100 watts or less, consuming less than 20% of the electricity required by a rocking piston.
  • Lower Maintenance Costs: HIBLOW aerators are easier and more affordable to repair than rocking piston alternatives.

Keeps Diffuser Sticks Out of the Muck and Vegetation

  • Prevents Clogging: Stops diffusers from clogging and adding backpressure, which extends the life of the pond aerator.
  • No Need for Slow Ramp-Up: A raised pond diffuser will not stir up anaerobic bacteria or spread it throughout the pond. Stirring the muck clouds the water, depletes oxygen, releases nutrients that potentially fuel algae growth, and produces foul odors and harmful gases.
  • Lower the Diffuser Over Time: As the muck diminishes, lower your pond diffuser to mix the entire water column.

Keeps a Hole in the Ice Without Mixing the Bottom of the Pond

  • Raise the Pond Diffuser in Winter for Ideal Fish Habitat: Raising the diffuser to 35.5” allows fish to take refuge in the warmer water near the bottom of the pond. Mixing the entire water column in winter homogenizes the water temperature, stressing the fish.
  • Prevents Toxic Gas Buildup: Toxic gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen sulfide accumulate under the ice as organic matter decomposes. Without an ice hole for ventilation, these gases become trapped, depleting oxygen and poisoning the water, often leading to fish kills.

HIBLOW Medium Bubble Pond Diffuser Advantage

  • Wide Bubble Plume: Two 12” HIBLOW medium bubble diffuser sticks extend 25.5” across to create a wide plume of bubbles.
  • Water Circulation: Adds dissolved oxygen while maximizing water circulation.
  • Self-Cleaning: Medium bubble pores self-clean with 40 LPM of continuous airflow, operating 24/7, 365 days a year.

Complete Package / Quick Assembly

  • Stable and Submerged: The 8 lb. rust-resistant stainless steel base plate provides stability, sinks easily, and keeps the pond diffuser submerged—no need to buy gravel or sand.
  • Everything You Need: The complete package includes all necessary components for quick and easy installation.

How Does a Linear Diaphragm Air Pump Work?

HIBLOW (Techno Takatsuki) engineering in the late 1960’s invented the linear diaphragm air pump.  The energy efficient, quiet, lubrication/ oil free design is still the most efficient technology for producing continuous air flow.

 

Design concept – the speaker

The HIBLOW engineer conceptualized the design while observing how a speaker produces sound.

 

 

How a speaker works: A circular permanent magnet, attached to the frame of the speaker, creates a magnetic field.  The voice coil (a cylinder wound tightly with copper coil), placed inside the permanent magnet, turns into an electromagnet as alternating current (AC) electricity cycles through the copper wire.  The AC signal changes the polarity of the electromagnetic at the rate of the frequency (Hz) causing it to move in a linear motion through the permanent magnet.  The cone (or diaphragm) attached to the voice coil vibrates creating the sound we hear.

 

Linear diaphragm air pump principles of operation:

How it works: Linear diaphragm air pumps produce air flow from a set of diaphragms that are attached to a permanent magnetic rod.  The magnetic rod moves in a linear motion as AC electricity powers electromagnets (in purple above) made from copper wire wrapped around an iron core.  The magnetic attraction and repellent forces between the permanent magnet and electromagnets oscillate the rod at the frequency of the power supply (60 Hz in the US).  Meaning the rod is shuttled back and forth 60 x’s per second as the electromagnets change polarity from the alternating current.

The blue bubbles in the simulation above show the path of the air flow.  Following the bubble on the right side of the simulation: the diaphragm as it stretches inward (to the left), creates a vacuum effect – opening the umbrella valve and pulling ambient air into the chamber.  As the diaphragm moves back to the right, it pushes air out through the second umbrella valve (at the top of the diagram).  The same is happening on the other side in opposite orientation.  The combination creates consistent air flow with minimal pulsation that merges in the lower housing of the aerator before exiting through an outlet port.

Can a linear diaphragm air pump run on DC power?

No, the technology must run on AC power.  However, it is still used in many DC applications with a power inverter because of how energy efficient the technology is.
