5 cm air stone for hydroponics – for aerating water reservoirs
Air stone for enriching irrigation water with oxygen, when connected to an air pump. Disperses air bubbles in the water and helps aerate the root zone. For use in compatible hydroponic systems.
Uses: For irrigation tanks, water reservoirs and floating raft systems (DWC).
Stone diameter: 5 cm.
Key advantage: Helps oxygenate the water around the roots.
Important to know: An air pump, air hose, and non-return valve (available for purchase separately) are required to operate the product.

Roots in hydroponic systems need oxygen dissolved in the water. This 5cm diameter air stone is specially designed to produce air bubbles, which help transfer oxygen to the water.
How does the stone work? The air bubbles move the water surface and help oxygenate the reservoir. Aeration is not a substitute for checking and treating root diseases. It is designed for continuous, long-term operation in a wet environment.
For use in the following types of systems:
Raft systems (Deep Water Culture – DWC): Systems where the roots sit directly in water and require intensive aeration 24/7.
Solution and irrigation tanks: Constant mixing of the fertilizer solution to prevent fertilizers from settling to the bottom.
NFT systems and general water reservoirs: Maintaining water freshness and high oxygen levels.
The air stone is the end of the system. To start oxygenating the water, you will need to connect the following items to it:
Air pump: The power source that produces the air flow (power must be selected depending on the volume of the tank).
Air hose: A standard size flexible hose (4/6 mm) that connects the pump to the stone.
Non-return valve: An important safety component to prevent water from flowing back into the pump. The valve sits on the pipe and prevents water from being sucked back into the air pump in the event of a power outage, which could destroy the pump and cause flooding.
