Will it replace mine? AIR FOR THE BIOLOGY THAT TREATS YOUR WASTEWATER
A small pump.
A job that matters.
In an aerated treatment plant, aerobic bacteria do much of the work of breaking down waste. They need oxygen, and an air pump helps supply it by sending air into the wastewater.
We’re here to help you choose that air pump (often called a blower or compressor). The separate pump shown here is one common arrangement; aeration works alongside the plant’s other treatment processes.
The pump sends air through the airline to a submerged diffuser, which releases bubbles. Oxygen transfers from those bubbles into the wastewater to support aerobic treatment. Not every treatment system uses this arrangement.
WORTH 15 MINUTES OF YOUR ATTENTION
Choose it once.
Live with the decision for years.
An air pump often runs day and night. Taking a little time now can make a difference to the noise, electricity use and servicing you live with. Follow your plant maker’s operating instructions.
A quieter corner.
Think about what you’ll hear in the garden, and where the pump will sit.
02Everyday electricity.
Compare power use while delivering the airflow and pressure required by your installation.
03Confidence in the job.
Reliability matters when the treatment system depends on its air supply.
04Care you can plan.
Consider how the pump will be serviced, how easily it can be reached and which parts need routine replacement.
05Enough air, delivered.
The pump must maintain enough airflow for treatment while overcoming the pressure from water depth, the diffuser and airline resistance.
START WITH WHAT YOU KNOW
Which sounds like you?
Your existing model gives us a starting point; the plant’s requirements determine whether a replacement is suitable.

Start with the right question.
Suitability depends on the airflow a pump can deliver at the pressure your plant actually operates at, together with the manufacturer’s requirements.
