| When compared to other products and other methods of aeration, Colorite AeroTube™ aeration tubing is truly superior. Here are some key comparative points: • Mechanical aerators provide from 1.7 to 3.0 pounds of oxygen per horsepower used, where Colorite AeroTube™ aeration tubing yields from 4 to 8 pounds of oxygen per horsepower used in fresh water, depending on the SCFM per foot. In salt water, AeroTube™ supplies up to 15 pounds of oxygen per horsepower, making it the ideal choice for shrimp and salt water fish aquaculture. • Colorite AeroTube™ aeration tubing does not break like air stones, is much easier to clean, lasts much longer, and costs approximately 1/2 as much. |
