Designed for pond aeration and water circulation, it produces a fine curtain of bubbles that improves dissolved oxygen levels and creates water movement throughout the pond column.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMore Circulation Than Air Stones, Easy to Clean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEPDM rubber membrane diffusers produce slightly larger bubbles than traditional air stones, which translates to greater water movement and circulation rather than maximum oxygen transfer per bubble. For koi ponds and water gardens, this is the preferred trade-off: improved circulation and surface agitation keep oxygen levels healthy and reduce stagnant zones where algae and anaerobic bacteria can establish. Unlike air stones, rubber membrane diffusers are easy to clean by simply wiping the membrane surface. The multi-barb inlet cuts to fit either 1\/4\" or 3\/8\" airline tubing with no adapter required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiffuser Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\" (10 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMembrane Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEPDM rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlet Fitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-barb: 1\/4\" or 3\/8\" tubing (cut to fit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Airflow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.2 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax Airflow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.1 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePond aeration, circulation, destratification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Install\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut the barbed inlet to fit your airline tubing size (1\/4\" or 3\/8\").
