Sustainable Farming with Aquaponics

Aquaponics combines aquaculture (raising fish in tanks) and hydroponics (growing vegetables/ plants in water with a soil-less media).

This balanced, self-contained, and natural process mimics the ecosystems of rivers, lakes, ponds, and waterways on the planet yielding 100% organic fish and vegetables.

What are the benefits of aquaponics?

• Since aquaponic systems can be installed indoors, food can be produced anywhere and throughout the entire year
• The biological cycle is 100% chemical-free and does not require pesticides or herbicides  
• Since aquaponics is a closed loop system, it uses ~90-95% less water than traditional farming methods
• The food produced has more nutrients and generally is thought to taste better
• Vegetables tend to grow 3x faster because of their exposure to 100% natural nutrients, 24 hours a day
• Food independence

HIBLOW Linear Diaphragm Air Pump Advantage

Many professionals believe that a linear diaphragm air pump is the best technology for aquaponics because the design is built for 24/7, 365-day use.  The pumps are energy efficient, running on less electricity than an incandescent light bulb.  They’re also quiet – producing a noise level far less than a normal conversation.  A HIBLOW linear diaphragm air pump handles higher pressures so users can manifold 2+ airlines to aerate the fish tank and biofilter. Finally, the pumps can be easily rebuilt 2 times for an overall life of 12+ years in many cases. Contact us today!
