A compact, powerful aerator for wastewater treatment
Air-O-Lator Commercial
Highlights
Minimal spray drift
A specially-designed diffuser mounted on top of the aerator minimises spray-drift while maximising aeration. This is done through diverting the direction of the ejected water without impeding the flow.
Unrivalled mixing ability
The diffuser on top of the Air-O-Lator Commercial is also designed to push the oxygenated water down into the waterbody where it disperses over a wide range and thoroughly mixes the water. This ability to mix and disperse water is not only crucial for wastewater treatment but is unique for an aerator of this size.
Solar options available
We have 1.5hp and 3hp solar options available. The 3hp motor aerates up to 1 acre. You can easily combine units for larger lagoons. You'll typically need 4 solar panels for a 1.5hp motor or 8 solar panels for a 3hp motor.
Easy to install, move and combine
Air-O-Lator’s Commercial Aerator units are small enough to be picked up by hand and are easy to combine and spread out so you can ensure your entire water body is properly mixed and aerated.
What's included in the Commercial Aerator kit
Nanobubble
Highlights
01
Adds up to 95% pure O2 into water Standard aerators add around 20% oxygen.
02
O2 remains in water longer Nanobubbles don't float like regular bubbles. They can remain suspended in water for weeks.
03
Hydroxyl radicals for "cleaning" Nanobubbles release hydroxyl radicals, one of the strongest known oxidants.
Bubbles don’t float to surface
Unlike larger bubbles that immediately take off towards the surface and rupture, nanobubbles tend to remain in suspension. This is because of brownian motion, aka the bubbles are so small they move with no preferential direction of flow. In ideal conditions, nanobubbles can remain in your water for weeks.
Oxygenates deeper waters
Following on from above, nanobubbles have almost zero buoyancy. This means they don’t travel straight for the surface, but instead tend to follow currents and end up in deeper parts of dams, lakes and wastewater lagoons.
Longer lasting bubbles
Those nanobubbles that don’t collide and break apart when first leaving the aerator tend to stick around for longer than regular bubbles because of the structural integrity of the nanobubbles. It’s like comparing the fragility of a balloon barely blown up compared to one blown to 500 times the size. These mighty little bubbles can hang around for a long time.
Increased levels of oxidation
Nanobubbles have also been shown to release the hydroxyl radical, one of the strongest known oxidants. This can occur when the nanobubbles collapse. The radicals scour surfaces and prevent biofilm growth which not only helps clean irrigation pipes, drip lines etc, but also reduces how much chemical you need.
Attracted to organic matter
Nanobubbles have a much stronger negative surface charge than regular bubbles. This makes them more attracted to positively charged organic matter like precipitated metals, pollutants and dangerous cyanotoxins. This is a good thing obviously because bringing oxygen to these compounds helps to render them inactive.

Air-O-Lator Professional
This aerator is similar to the Air-O-Lator Commercial but slightly lower in cost because it doesn't include the spray-drift diffuser. You could consider this option if spray-drift isn't a big concern. Note: the Professional also has low spray-drift but not to the degree of the Commercial.
Vertex
A Vertex sub-surface aeration system may be an option if you have low amounts of nutrient in your water, e.g. to improve water in a pond that has already been largely treated. If you need a lot of aeration, however, you'll need a surface aerator.
Air-O-Lator Evaporator
Not an aerator, but we also have an Evaporator specifically designed to speed up the process of evaporating water in leachate evaporation ponds. Like all of Air-O-Lator units, the Evaporator sits in a float which can be easily moved around the pond. You can use multiple units to further speed up the process of evaporation.
