Hydro Logic Products® AirLift 2XL™ pond and lake aeration systems are designed and built to cost effectively mix and aerate ponds and lakes. Our systems use billions of micron sized bubbles to improve pond and lake water quality. Our AirLift 2XL™ aeration system can aerate ponds and lakes up to 6-acres
in size depending on air diffuser placement, nutrient concentrations, biological oxygen demand (BOD), water depth and other physical characteristics of the waterbody.
Our AirLift 2XL™ aeration system is powered by
a 1/3 H.P. energy efficient, dual piston air compressor equipped with our proprietary SureStart™ and AirSaver Timer™
technologies. Our dual piston air compressor, which can deliver air under high pressures (water depths up to 35 feet), operates very quietly (55 decibels at 2 meters or 6 feet). In comparison, the noise levels of our air compressors are about 15 decibels less than equivalent rotary vane air compressors.
Our AirLift 2XL™ aeration system contains two AirPod XL™ air diffusers.
The AirPod XL™ contains two self-cleaning 24-inch tubes, EPDM
flexible membrane air diffusers equipped with a triple check valve
system. Our air diffusers are constructed to withstand total airflow from the
compressor without damaging the EPDM membranes (unlike EPDM disc air diffusers). The base of the AirPod XL™ provides a large surface area between the EPDM membranes and the sediments, thereby preventing sediment disturbance during system operation. The AirPod XL™ is extremely easy to install. Simply fill the two ballast tubes with pea gravel or sand prior to their placement in the pond or lake.
Compressed air from our dual piston compressor is delivered to the AirPod XLs™ using our DownUnder™
self-weighted tubing. DownUnder™ air supply tubing is constructed of a flexible PVC composite and is kink proof and puncture resistant. Our easy to install tubing comes in several different lengths and diameters to meet your installation needs.
Compressor |
|
• 1/3 HP dual piston air compressor with integral thermal motor overload protection
|
• Produce high airflow volumes (4.9 scfm open flow) & operate under high pressures (30 psi max.) |
• Oil-less air compressor that is virtually maintenance free
|
• SureStart™ technology allows air compressor to restart under pressure after power outages
|
• AirSaver Timer™ allows air compressor to turn on/off at different time intervals
|
• High air pressure allows diffusers to be cleaned in ponds or lakes (unlike rotary vane compressors)
|
• U.L. listed, 115 volt & 4.2 amps for typical operating pressure of 8 psi
|
• 5-micron air filter maximizes air compressor life expectancy
|
• Easy field repairs - plumbing connections with swivel fittings & flexible 220 psi tubing
|
• Noise reduction - mounted on cylindrical vibration pads & connected to flexible tubing
|
• Extremely quiet operation (55 decibels @ 2 meters or 6 feet @ 20 psi)
|
• Two-year warranty (best in the industry)

Our dual piston air compressor is outfitted with our proprietary SureStart™ technology. This allows automatic restart of the air compressor under full pressure during any power outage (blackouts or brownouts) without damaging the air compressor motor. Our AirSaver Timer™ allows the air compressor
to be turned on/off at different time intervals (adjustable up to 10-hours). This provides the pond or lake owner with another option to further reduce the annual operating costs if so desired. The air compressor is oil-less, thermally protected and requires no lubrication. The air compressor includes rotors/stators manufactured with the most advanced magnetic materials, sealed heavy-duty precision bearings and starting capacitor. The only required routine maintenance is periodically changing the 5-micron air filters. The compressor can typically operate approximately 3 years or more before any decline in performance is observed. This is 2 to 3 times better performance over standard piston, diaphragm and rotary vane compressors. Thereafter, the air compressor can be easily serviced by replacing the piston seals. Airflow versus pressure performance curves for our dual piston compressor vary less than for diaphragm and rotary vane compressors. This simply means that means that dual piston compressor provides more air while using less energy. Lastly, our dual piston air compressor can operate under high pressures, thereby allowing the air diffuser membranes to be easily cleaned without pulling the AirPod from the pond or lake.

AirPod XL™ Air Diffusers |
|
• Two AirPod XLs™ equipped with two single flexible, fine pore EPDM rubber membrane tube diffusers
|
• More durable than air stone, porous media & EPDM disc diffusers |
• Produces extremely fine air bubbles (500 – 1,000 micron or 0.020 - 0.040 inch)
|
• Triple check valve prevents water & sediment from entering the air supply lines
|
• One EPDM tube diffuser is 20% larger than two 9-inch EPDM disc diffusers
|
• Self-cleaning & very low maintenance
|
• Large HDPE base (24”L x 18”W) to prevent sediment disturbance
|
• Five-year warranty (best in the industry)
|
|
|
Each AirPod XL™ air diffuser contains two self-cleaning 24-inch, EPDM flexible membrane tube diffusers equipped with a triple check valve system. The triple check valve prevents water and sediment from flowing back into the air supply lines during system shut down. The EPDM tube air diffusers are mounted to heavy-duty PVC strut with ratcheting tie-downs to provide easy assembly/disassembly. The above components are secured to a large HDPE base. Two hollow ballast tubes are anchored beneath the base. The ballasts tubes are designed so that pea gravel or sand can be easily added to these tubes during installation.
