Colorite Aero-Tube

Colorite Aero-Tube is a flexible linear “leaky hose” aeration tubing that releases air evenly along its whole length. It delivers 37 LPM per metre at just 1 PSI, so a low-pressure blower keeps running costs down. Supplied cut to the metre or as a 30 metre roll.

Price range: $8.40 through $200.00 ex GST

Product Information

Key Features

  • Flexible linear “leaky hose” aeration tubing — air is released evenly along the full length of the run
  • Air flow of 37 LPM per metre at just 1 PSI, so a low-pressure blower does all the work
  • Low operating pressure keeps blower duty and running costs down across large aeration areas
  • 25 mm outside diameter, 12 mm inside diameter
  • Supplied cut to the metre (AEROPM) or as a 30 m roll (AERO30)
  • Suits ponds, raceways, purge and holding tanks, and wastewater aeration basins
  • Also available pre-made as Colorite Aero-Tube Diffusers, or as a pre-assembled Aero-Tube Diffuser Grid
  • Sizing — multiply 37 LPM per metre by your tube length, or divide your total required air flow by 37 LPM to get the metres of tube needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much Aero-Tube do I need?
Multiply 37 LPM per metre by your tube length, or divide your total required air flow by 37 LPM to get the metres of tube needed.
What bubble size does Aero-Tube produce?
Colorite does not publish a bubble diameter for Aero-Tube — if you need a stated fine-bubble figure, Bubbletech Oxyprax and Airprax are rated under 0.5 mm.
What blower pressure do I need?
Aero-Tube runs at 1 PSI, so a standard low-pressure regenerative blower is enough — allow extra pressure for the water depth the tube sits under.
How do I clean it?
Lift the tube and flush it through with air or water to clear debris; there are no consumable parts to replace.
What is the difference between Aero-Tube, the Aero-Tube Diffuser and the Diffuser Grid?
Aero-Tube is bulk tubing by the metre, the Aero-Tube Diffuser is a short pre-made weighted length with a barb fitting, and the Diffuser Grid is a pre-assembled HDPE grid holding 20 m of tube on a 50 mm slip connection.
What lengths is it supplied in?
Cut to the metre (SKU AEROPM) or as a 30 metre roll (SKU AERO30) — other lengths available on request.
Does the tubing need weighting?
Bulk tubing needs to be weighted or clamped down on site; the pre-made Aero-Tube Diffusers come already weighted with stainless steel rod.
