LINEAR DIAPHRAGM AND PISTON

Linear pumps use either diaphragms or pistons to compress air. These units are very quiet and energy efficient. They are designed for continuous duty and should run 24/7. The difference between brands of the linear air pumps is primarily in regards to quality and expected operating lifespan.

The Hiblow brand units are the industry "gold standard" in terms and quality and have been for over 20 years. The Thomas, Cyclone, Secoh, and Alita are more economical versions but do not have the lifespan of the aforementioned units.

ROTARY VANE COMPRESSORS

The Gast Rotary Vane air pumps use carbon vanes that spin in circular motion to compress air. They are powered by an AC electric motor. These units can be very durable but they require about 4 times the electrical operating cost of the linear air pumps to run 24/7. They also are much louder than the linear air pumps units.

REGENERATIVE BLOWERS

Regenerative Blowers are capable of providing high volume of air flow at very low pressure. These types of blowers are commonly used on older Hoot system, Fast systems, Bio-Microbics, and EcoPod systems. Normally these units are ran on a timer and do not run continuously.

AIR PUMP SIZE DOES MATTER

If you have been our website, then you already know there are many different types and sizes. Size, and more specifically, volume of airflow is of the upmost importance when selecting the correct replacement air pump.

Our sales team can make sure you get the right size pump if you are unsure about this aspect of buying a new one. In most cases, we only need the model number of the unit you are replacing. Alternatively, you can provide the brand of your aerobic system and its GPD rating.

Size is important, and you need the right septic air pump for your system to function properly. An undersized pump may struggle to provide adequate aeration, leading to poor treatment of wastewater and potential system failures. On the other hand, an oversized pump can waste energy and increase operational costs.

When selecting a pump, consider the specific requirements of your system. Factors such as the depth of the tank, the distance the air must travel, and the type of diffusers used can all influence the pump's performance. Our knowledgeable sales team is here to guide you through this process, ensuring you have all the necessary information to make an informed decision.

Additionally, it's a good idea to check the maintenance history of your existing system. If you’ve experienced frequent issues or if your pump is older, it might be time for an upgrade. Regular maintenance can also extend the life of your pump, so don’t hesitate to ask about service options when you purchase your new unit.

In summary, selecting the right air pump is essential for the health of your septic system. With the right guidance and information, you can ensure that your system operates efficiently and effectively for years to come.
