Vertex PondLyfe 3 VBS 3 XL1 Aeration System (1/4 HP)

The Vertex PondLyfe 3 VBS 3 XL1 Aeration System is an ideal solution for maintaining water quality in small ponds and lakes up to ¾ acre in size. This 1/4 HP system is engineered for energy efficiency and long-term reliability, making it a preferred choice for residential properties, farms, and golf course water features.

At the heart of the system is a quiet and durable compressor housed in a corrosion-resistant aluminum cabinet. This weather-resistant enclosure protects internal components and includes ventilation, noise-reducing insulation, and a cooling fan to extend system life. The oil-free piston compressor operates efficiently while minimizing maintenance demands.

Equipped with three Vertex XL1 CoActive AirStations, each featuring a self-cleaning membrane diffuser, the system delivers fine bubbles that maximize oxygen transfer throughout the water column. This supports healthy aquatic life, improves water clarity, and helps reduce sludge accumulation by encouraging aerobic decomposition.

Vertex’s SilentAir compressor combined with FlowGuard™ airflow manifolds ensures consistent airflow to all diffuser stations. The system includes weighted airline tubing to keep hoses submerged and hidden, promoting an unobtrusive appearance in natural landscapes.

Whether for a backyard pond or a small decorative lake, the PondLyfe 3 VBS 3 XL1 provides year-round circulation and oxygenation with minimal power usage.
