Dual Port Septic Air Pumps

linear air pump
HIBLOW manufactures Dual Port septic air pumps designed for aerobic treatment unit manufacturers.  The Dual port includes a timer that prompts the switch in air flow from the “MAIN” outlet port – used to aerate the main aeration chamber – to the second “SKIM” or “Backwash" port used for a secondary operation. Commonly, this secondary operation acts as an airlift or suction pump to move effluent, sludge, or scum from one section of the tank to another. Only one outlet port can operate at a time, both outlets cannot operate simultaneously.

Read more on our website!

HIBLOW manufactures two models: the DUO Series (DUO-50, DUO-60, DUO-80) and the Dual Series (HP-50W, HP-60W, HP-80W).  When purchasing a replacement air pump, it is critical for the timer settings to match that of your manufacturer’s system.  

Working with your local aerobic treatment service provider with knowledge of your system or contacting the OEM directly is essential to ensure your system has the correct timer settings and operates as it is designed.

HIBLOW Provides Linear Air Pumps for Residential and Commercial Wastewater Systems

In many onsite treatment systems, the air pump is the only moving part in the overall septic system, so it must be dependable. Working 24 hours a day and through all four seasons of the year — HIBLOW linear air pumps set the industry standard for reliability and service life. Additionally, most Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU) manufacturers supply HIBLOW linear air pumps with their onsite wastewater treatment systems.

We design, engineer, and manufacture all HIBLOW linear air pumps in our own facilities. We don’t buy pumps from other companies and re-brand them, and we don’t use contract manufacturers. Every HIBLOW linear air pump is fully tested and certified for quality in your application before it is packaged and shipped to you from one of our factories.

Only one outlet port can operate at a time, both outlets cannot operate simultaneously.

Each Aerobic Treatment Unit manufacturer has specific and proprietary timer settings.  Their systems have gone through extensive testing to receive certifications from a third-party lab to meet regulatory requirements at state and local levels.  Any change to the timer settings could impact the effectiveness of the system and the quality of the effluent that enters the drain field. Standard single port air pumps should also not be used as a replacement for Dual Port models.

Tricks of the Trade for Winter Pond Aeration

pond aeration
It is important to move the diffuser from the deepest part of the pond.  If you have 6’ foot pond, move the diffuser closer to the shore to about 3’.  In the winter, the warmest water in the pond is at the bottom – which is where fish reside.  

If the diffuser is kept at the bottom of the pond, it will circulate the warm water and evenly distribute the cold water – disrupting the natural habitat.  Moving the diffuser closer to the surface also helps with reducing ice formation.

If possible, it is best to keep your aerator in a warm building or under some type of shelter. Pumping warm air into the pond will only increase the results.

Is It Important to Aerate a Pond in the Winter?

pond aeration

When a pond owner buys a linear air pump, it is often in the spring or summer when they are looking to beautify the water and/ or enhance fish growth.  Yet the most important season for aeration may be the winter.  Sub-surface aeration is essential for cleaning up autumn debris, preventing winter fish kill, and disrupting the formation of ice.

What is happening under the ice?

In autumn as the leaves begin to fall and other matter starts to die off, ponds collect a significant amount of organic material.  Aerobic bacteria in the water – fueled by an oxygen rich environment – eat away at the organic matter.  As a bi-product, harmful gasses such as methane, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere.  As winter approaches and the pond becomes completely iced over, the gasses are trapped and begin to replace dissolved oxygen.  The loss of oxygen slows the digestion of organic matter which can make for a big clean up job in the spring.

If a pond is covered by ice, there is also a possibility of a fish kill.  In addition to the reduction in dissolved oxygen from gas displacement, the lack of sunlight reduces the amount of oxygen produced by aquatic plants through photosynthesis.  The combination of these two factors could result in your fish floating belly up come springtime.

Why subsurface aeration?

Subsurface aeration is an energy efficient and highly effective way of increasing dissolved oxygen levels and circulating it through the pond.  The circulation creates an opening in the ice which allows the deadly gasses to be released, and for sunlight to reach aquatic plants.  There is no better way to keep your fish alive and continue the decomposition of organic material while at the same time offering an opening in the ice for wildlife to stop by.

Tricks of the Trade

It is important to move the diffuser from the deepest part of the pond.  If you have 6’ foot pond, move the diffuser closer to the shore to about 3’.  In the winter, the warmest water in the pond is at the bottom – which is where fish reside.  If the diffuser is kept at the bottom of the pond, it will circulate the warm water and evenly distribute the cold water – disrupting the natural habitat.  Moving the diffuser closer to the surface also helps with reducing ice formation.
