Re: Airlift update: Koi pond running just on air
I´m very happy now. This is the information I was looking for right from the start. But, as they say, those who want to know a little bit more, - "Basically what he did was to glue a new vertical section at the end of each 110 mm pipe, There are no airstones inside the airlift, but a small clos...

Re: Air Up Lifts
Thanks Stuart, I´ll try that. I just wondering how the Spanish gentleman balanced his system without airstones? Nothing about that in the article, what I can se? With airstones it´s a loss of energy, a higher cost to initiate the system and for my system, a risk of dropping the airstones and blockin...

I´ve tried to copy the Spanish gentleman ear...

Re: Air Up Lifts
Dear Sirs. Lately I’ve been reading a lot about Airlifts of all kinds. I’m still as confused as I was in the beginning. They started with Airlift-pumps in mines a long time ago and what I can see: they pumped huge amount of water, in big pipes as tall as several hundred meters. They still do? It’s a...

Re: Air Up Lifts
Hallo Guys. The Airlift systems you´re working with is just great. I´m building my first pond and I´m trying to make it right from the beginning, so I´ve a few questions: Diego is using 110mm pipes for the airlift, why not 2" or 63mm which is said to be the most effective? Where in the filter-l...
