How the Big Bubble Circulation Pump Works

How It Works

1. Controlled Updraft

Large sequential bubbles rise from depth carrying colder oxygen-depleted water upward in a narrow controlled column.

2. The Piston Effect

As the upwelled water reaches the surface, it creates a large surface lift which converts vertical displacement into horizontal movement.

3. Visible Ripples

A deep, expanding ripple field spreads outward across multiple acres continuously renewing the surface, enhancing atmospheric oxygen exchange, and naturally managing sunlight.

Designed to Integrate

The Big Bubble Circulation Pump uses the same air infrastructure as traditional diffuser-based systems. Run it standalone or enhance your existing aeration strategy with wide-area surface movement for complete coverage.

Wide-area surface exchange, horizontal circulation, and broad distribution of oxygen that eliminates stagnant zones.

Traditional Bubble Diffusers

Targeted destratification, deep-water diffused oxygenation, and localized improvement of bottom conditions.

Even Better Combined Together

Balance vertical and horizontal mixing to form comprehensive whole-lake aeration and tailor oxygenation strategies.
