AqueousAir™
Water Tank Aeration System for Rainwater Tanks
Prevents stagnation of your drinking water between long periods of rain |
Prevents anaerobic conditions in your tank, where the lower levels of water have low or non-existent oxygen levels |
Increases the depth of usable and vitalised water |
Reduces bad bacteria population, helping to remove bad smells and tastes |
Using sub-surface aeration to introduce oxygen to the lower levels of your water tank |
AqueousAir™ is a water aeration system that will oxygenate and circulate the water in your rainwater tanks at a sub-surface level, helping improve your water quality whilst ensuring you get the most out of your stored water system.
The only time your water is naturally oxygenated is when new water is introduced into your water tanks. Whether that’s from rainfall collection, water delivery or being pumped from dams, rivers or bore systems.
Over time, as water sits idle in your tanks, oxygen in the water dissipates. With the addition of sediment on the bottom of the tank, this creates what is referred to as an Anaerobic level.
Anaerobic conditions, where organic matter builds up at the bottom of the tank will cause bacteria to grow. Resulting in smelly or poor tasting water.
Not only is this the ideal breeding ground for bacteria, but as your water sits idle, oxygen dissipates. In simple terms, your water becomes dull or dead.
Dissolved Oxygen (DO) is a measure of how much oxygen is dissolved in water. DO is present in all rainwater due to contact with the atmosphere. It is essential for quality of water. Without DO, water becomes stagnant.
Most water tank storage systems extract water from the bottom of the tank. After periods of no rain and hot weather, with water sitting stagnant, the Anaerobic level increases and the depth of quality water decreases. DO levels are decreasing, and this is when water can start to smell.
