What's included in the Hakko kit

Compressor

Matala Hakko lineal diaphragm air pump, includes multi-valve air manifold. AC power. Lowest noise operation of all air pumps.

Air Stations / Diffusers

Matala-branded air station diffusers. Membranes made of high-grade EPDM rubber. Features an omni-directional design to ensure a uniform distribution of fine bubbles. The diffusers also feature an “intelligent” operation, which closes the membrane when air stops coming through the air hose—preventing back pressure on the air pump and protecting the membrane from clogging.

How does sub-surface aeration work?

"Since WQS installed the aerator, we've not had a single algae problem. In our smaller ponds that are too small for aerators we used Biostim pellets on their own and have noticed a huge reduction in algae.”

Andy Hart

Horticultural Curator—Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, Adelaide

“We had a nutrient-rich stormwater lake that was having continuous problems with algae. We were previously treating the nutrients with a liquid solution that would just end up getting flushed away with the outgoing water. Scott recommended we switch to Biostim pellets which were exactly what we needed.”

Giles Pickard

Environment Project Officer, City of Subiaco

“Visiting ducks and our pet geese were continuously fouling the dam. WQS recommended a number of systems to improve the water quality. We are very happy with our final choice, the windmill aeration system. This combined with the Biostim pellets and liquid are cleaning up the dirty dam. Everything WQS said would happen has happened!”

Greg Lewis

“We had an urgent problem—our old irrigation system had blockages from weeds. Our dam was also riddled with black sludge. Scott recommended both aeration and biologicals and within six weeks the dam became so clear I could see to the bottom of it for the first time in years! I was chuffed that we could fix the issue without the use of chemicals.”
