AquaVita Rectangular Air Stone - 5 x 1.5 x 10.5-in

Steady Reservoir Aeration From a Long Diffuser - 5 x 1.5 x 10.5 in

Stagnant nutrient solution leaves roots short of dissolved oxygen and lets water settle into layers. The AquaVita Rectangular Air Stone connects to an air pump and releases air into the reservoir, so water keeps moving and stays aerated. It is made from carborundum and ceramic, materials chosen for diffusing air in water.

Sold individually, this single stone suits a grower setting up one reservoir, adding aeration to an existing hydroponic system, or replacing a worn stone. Buy more units to cover several reservoirs.

Key Features & Benefits

• Carborundum and ceramic construction — a durable body made for use in water.
• Rectangular, elongated shape — spreads air along a longer section of the reservoir than a small round stone.
• Fired at high temperature — the manufacturing process gives a consistent, rigid body.
• Made to pair with AquaVita Air Pumps — simple to match with a pump from the same brand.

Who Should Use AquaVita Rectangular Air Stone

Hydroponic growers, home gardeners and aquarium keepers who want to aerate and circulate water in a reservoir or tank will find this stone useful.
