HiBlow HP-60 Air Pump - 1.13 cfm
HIBLOW has manufactured air pumps for the pond and aquatic industries for over 30 years. HIBLOW knows that reliability, energy efficiency, and low sound levels are all extremely important for your aquatic systems. HIBLOW pumps provide aeration and water circulation for water gardens, koi ponds, backyard/ farm ponds, aquaculture, hydroponics, and aquaponics.
Benefits of subsurface aeration:
- Helps keep the water clear of algae and other organic matter
- Promotes healthy oxygen levels for fish growth and sustainability
- Helps evenly distribute oxygen and water temperature
- Creates a hole in the ice in the winter which allows toxic gases to release preventing fish kill
Other Considerations:
- HIBLOW recommendations are general guidelines for selecting a pump. Other factors — including hose length/ diameter, diffuser type, and water depth — impact the efficiency and effectiveness of an aeration system. Learn more
- For depths greater than 6’, you may want to consider bumping up to the next size pump to offset the loss of air from the increase in pressure
- If you have an odd or kidney shaped pond, it may be advisable to contact a pond distributer for guidance as you may need multiple diffusers to properly mix and aerate the whole pond
- If breeding specific types of fish, we would recommend consulting with an aquatic specialist before selecting a pump as certain breeds require different levels of oxygen
- For best life, keep the pump covered and, in the shade, and allow for enough circulation around the pump
- For best results, use a maximum of 2 diffusers and clean frequently to prevent clogging
