Bubble Tubing can be used industrial applications including mining and aquaculture the unique tubing is also for aerating ponds, water-gardens, long narrow waterways, de-icing and wherever a bottom mounted diffusion assembly is not desired or appropriate. The 1/2" Bubble Tubing can be run in continuous lengths of 200 feet and the 3/4" Bubble Tubing can be run in lengths of 400 feet (please confirm usage with our experts first).

NEW! 1/2" (0.575) I.D. Bubble Tubing is now available without the weighted ballast in 100' and 300' rolls.

The 1/2" Bubble tubing comes in rolls of 100 feet or custom lengths can be cut if required. Maximum length of a single line should be kept to 200 feet for uniformity of bubbles. Small orders ship via UPS or DHL and orders over 800 feet ship on a skid(s) by truck. 100 foot roll weighs 60 pounds.

3/4" Bubble Tubing

Airline
0.825" ID x 1.032" OD Black PVC tubing perforated with 2 rows of bubble holes at 180 degrees spaced every 0.5"
Ballast

Operating Pressure
5 psi min - 50 psi max
Optimal Air Flow Volume
0.065 CFM per foot (min 0.03 CFM per foot)

The 3/4" Bubble Tubing has a larger bore airline to allow for longer continuous lengths of tubing to be used. This tubing also has a solid steel cable at the center of the ballast adding extra weight to meet the requirements of salt water conditions. The wire rope at the center of the ballast also allows the tubing to be stretched taut between two points. Attaching clamps or marine connectors to the wire rope inside the ballast allows the tubing to be tightened much like a guitar string.

The 3/4" Bubble Tubing comes on reels of 200 feet or custom lengths can be cut if required. Maximum length of a single line should be kept to 400 feet for uniformity of bubbles. Orders ship by truck. 200 foot reel weighs 225 pounds.

Torpedo Tubing
Self-sinking & kink free air feeder hose for use with Bubble Tubing™

Our self-weighted tubing eliminates the need for weights or external anchors. Connect the Torpedo tubing to your air-diffusion disc-assembly or Bubble Tubing and the everything will sink into place on its own. Installing your aeration diffusers has never been easier. Torpedo tubing rests on the bottom out of the way of swimmers and boats. Black color makes it invisible from the surface so your pondscape stays natural. This tubing is more supple than most self-sinking lines so it is easier to unroll and work with.

Use this self-weighted, submersible tubing for connections from shoreline to diffuser stations.
The tubing sinks to the bottom on its own so you don't need to tie bricks or weights to make the tubing sink out of sight like standard PVC tubing which floats when filled with air. Torpedo Tubing is constructed of a high-density flexible PVC composite which allows it to be handled and installed easily and the rapid sinking properties make Torpedo Tubing an excellent choice for make aeration installations quick and easy. Connect this tubing with standard 1/2" inserts. Easily join large sections of Torpedo Tubing together or connect to standard PVC tubing for above surface usage (i.e.: between compressor and shoreline)

1/2" Torpedo Tubing has an inner diameter of 0.575" I.D. and a 0.313" wall thickness for durability and protection against punctures. Remains flexible in cold temperatures.

3/4" Torpedo Tubing has an inner diameter of 0.825" I.D. and a 0.395" wall thickness for durability and protection against punctures. Remains flexible in cold temperatures.
