EEE Aerator
At the base of the throat, the natural curved intake bell allows water to approach evenly from all directions. The curve of this bell is a continuous, natural radius. With its unitized fiberglass construction, there are no turbulence-inducing seams, joints, or welds to affect the flow.
From the volute (the chamber housing the propeller ) the throat curves gracefully into an everwidening opening. This intake bell-to volute-to discharge passage - unlike that of an ordinary aerator - is one of smooth continuity that reduces exit losses to virtually nil, while increasing efficiency noticeably.
How much more efficient is this design? Straight entrance pipes and throats having ridges or seams can be ten times less efficient. As a consequence, they require more horsepower to move the same amount of water an EEE aerator will move.
EEE aerators have pumping flow rates 30% higher than the flow rates published by other aerator manufacturers. In one recent comparison, a 20 hp EEE aerator delivered 15,365 gallons per minute while a competitors 20 hp unit pumped a mere 8,321 - proof that EEE units are highly efficient. And this means ultimate saving in operational costs, as well.
The natural curved intake bell-to volute-to discharge design of EEE aerators promotes the higher gallon per minute rating of any aerator on the market. The less efficient design of other aerators actually retards water flow and efficient oxygenation.
The EEE diffuser is not only 150% to 400% heavier but also larger in diameter to eliminate spray-back that could freeze up and corrode the motor as in the case of most aerators.
