AERATION - unique, energy efficient method increases bubble surface area of contact while prolonging diffusion time. A large volume of continuously oxygenated water spreads away from each AQUACUBE® providing an extensive zone of aerated water.

BIOFILTRATION - The high surface area substrate creates an optimal aerobic environment for the colonization of naturally occurring species of beneficial bacteria. As water passes over these bacteria, they metabolize a broad spectrum of dissolved organic compounds present in the ammonia as well as water. After approximately one month of operation to establish the initial colonization, the AQUACUBE® becomes a living entity. The AQUACUBE® then self-adapts to any changes in the composition of the nutrients present through natural selection.

CIRCULATION - Energy efficient flow rates in excess of 400 GPM per surface square foot of AQUACUBE® produce flow rates on the order of 100 times the energy efficiency of water pumps. A 1/2 HP AQUACUBE® system can continuously circulate over 4,000 gallons per minute of aerated, biofiltered, degassed water, even at very shallow depths. Directional AQUACUBES® are also available for unidirectional flow of processed water.

DEGASSING - Efficient stripping of dissolved gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide is accomplished by the strong upward flow of the air/water mixture through the angular substrate that releases dissolved gas into the atmosphere.

FOAM FRACTIONATION - In a floating mode, the bubbles that continually form and burst in the float ring remove proteins and other biologically active molecules from solution. Foam fractionation tops are also available to automatically remove foam from high density systems.
