What's included in the Vertex kit
Remote setup available
Have mains power within 200m of your waterbody? It's worth noting Vertex aeration systems can be installed in a remote setup where a mains-powered motor is positioned near the AC outlet and air is pumped through hose buried in a shallow trench.

off grid options
Solar available for all kits.
We can turn any Vertex aeration kit DC solar powered by adding our USA manufactured solar drive, purpose-built for these types of compressors. The drive connects directly to your solar panels and incorporates an inverter, VFD, MPPT controller, phase initiator and voltage booster. We can provide solar panels and a stand, or you can source these yourself.
Optional
For an even quieter motor, add a 'Sound Reduction' kit
While all standard Vertex cabinets are built to be low-noise, Vertex has developed a 'Sound Reduction' kit for situations when the compressor needs to be placed close to buildings. Vertex compressors without a 'Sound Reduction' kit produce 50-54dB of sound which is about the same level as two people having a conversation. This isn't a problem if the compressor is a decent distance from buildings, but you probably want to consider a soundproof kit if this isn't the case.
Have a mega dam?
Custom expert designs available for large dams.
Vertex offers FREE custom designs for large-scale setups. Design suggestions are produced by running your dam's specs through proprietary-design software, which compares your waterbody to thousands of others. Designs include recommendations on the pump size and its location, the number of air-stations and their locations, and the total length of hose needed, as well as estimations on pumpage per day and turnovers of water per day based on the suggested setup.
