If you are noticing that your Bubble Tubing™ lengths are releasing fewer and fewer bubbles then likely a biofilm is forming a coating that is restricting airflow by blocking the perforations.

If you are noticing that your Bubble Tubing™ lengths are releasing fewer and fewer bubbles then likely a biofilm is forming a coating that is restricting airflow by blocking the perforations.

Bio-Purge is our leading cleaning/maintenance product for underwater air diffusion systems including aeration discs and Bubble Tubing™. As with any aeration product, over time, air diffusers and bubble tubing benefit from a maintenance treatment to remove calcium deposits, or organic biofilm that may coat the surfaces and inhibit airflow.

Biofilm develops slowly covering the small holes designed to release microbubbles of air. Factors such as temperature, water quality, water hardness, pH and air pressure all effect if or when a biofilm may form, which explains why there are instances when no biofilm develops, or biofilm develops rapidly.

To counter this problem use Bio-Purge WD-3100 which is an environmentally friendly product to eliminate the biofilm or calcium deposits that may be hindering the efficiency of your aeration system. Similar in characteristics and effectiveness as such well known products as "CLR" yet designed for use in potable water. It is certified ANSI/NSF, and is a product currently used in municipal water treatment resevoirs, and is also recommended by Health Canada and the Ministry of Environment (MDDEP). Approved for use both in the US (CFR) and Canada. Bio-Purge is safe for use in all aquatic environments.

Bio-Purge replaces muriatic acid as an effective cleaner and de-clogger of airstones. Cleaning diffusers or cleaning airstones with diluted muriatic acid solutions is a thing of the past.

 Bio-Purge comes in 4 litre format or for industrial applications, 15 and 45 gallon formats. Use within 6 months of purchase for best results. Contact us for more application details and advice, as every system is different.

Automated Bio-Purge delivery systems are available for large scale aeration applications which allow a Bio-Purge treatment to be performed quickly in applications involving hundreds of feet of Bubble Tubing or when large numbers of diffusers are involved.

Automated Bio-Purge Dispensers for Small & Large Applications For regular maintenance or regular supply using these handy devices can make the manual application of the liquid into the airline quicker and cleaner.

 

1. Fully-automatic injection motor can automatically introduce the correct dosages of Bio-Purge to maintain clean tubing in industrial application

2. A small, easy-to-use and in-expensive system is available for smaller applications

Beyond cleaning diffusers and tubing, WD3100 is an excellent dispersant/bio-penetrant specifically formulated to control iron, scale, bio fouling, and other filter related problems in potable or industrial water systems. WD-3100 is a non-phosphate-based product that may be used in water systems to clear away oxidized metal build up, scale deposits, and when used in conjunction with a biocide, bacterial species from filter media.
