PAES W.A.T.E.R.
PRESENTING RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURE TO THE WORLD
We previously unveiled PAES W.A.T.E.R. (World Aquaculture
Technology, Engineering and Research) Center – a purpose-
built, climate-controlled facility for demonstration and
testing of Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems’ innovative design
methods, technologies, and equipment, as well as
standardized procedures for Recirculating Aquaculture
Systems (RAS) operation. Energy efficient products are
utilized throughout the facility wherever possible, including
LED lighting and pumps featuring variable frequency drives.
Individual laboratories in the facility are supplied with oxygen,
low pressure air, fresh water, salt water and domestic
chlorinated water.
The all-new PAESWATER.com was also unveiled since our
last update. PAESWATER.com is a fully-interactive website
designed to provide the user with an experience of the 12,400
square-foot facility as if they were there in person, including
an enhanced navigated path tour, featuring 39 “product
hotspots” has been made available to customers and viewers
around the world! Each hotspot focuses on a specific piece of
equipment integral to the functionality of the five separate
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) in the facility.
Viewers have the ability to learn more about each product,
view photo galleries, watch explanatory videos and contact
the PAES team of technicians if they need more information.
In the past year we also successfully completed our first fish
harvest at PAES W.A.T.E.R.! A team of Pentair employees
worked diligently to ensure complete success on this project.
In total, we harvested 10,564 lbs. of Tilapia!
This sort of activity is exactly what we want people to
experience on PAESWATER.com or in person at one of our
many training courses held throughout the year. Training and
education are important focal points for Pentair AES at PAES
W.A.T.E.R. In the past year we have held multiple workshops,
both English and Spanish-language, at the facility. It is perfect
for live demonstration of equipment and techniques, as well
as providing hands-on experience in RAS operations and
systems management in extended sessions.

PAESWATER.com. See page 446 for additional information
about live events you can stream on PAESWATER.com!
URBAN ORGANICS PENTAIR GROUP
FARMING REIMAGINED
The past year has been an exciting one as renovations and
construction continued at the next Urban Organics location
– the former Schmidt’s Brewery in St. Paul, MN. In case you
haven’t heard, Urban Organics, along with the support of
Pentair, is working to fix a broken food system one delicious
meal at a time. The concept is simple. Local equals fresh.
Fresh equals nutritious. Nutritious equals healthy, for
people and community. The process is equally simple. Urban
Organics farms with aquaponics, where fish and plants help
each other grow. They’re making it happen right now in Saint
Paul at the former Hamm’s Brewery. Their mission is simple,
and that is to inspire a better food system for the people, by
the people.
In September 2015, Urban Organics and Pentair, a global
company helping its customers produce more food, energy
and efficiencies from each drop of water, announced a
unique collaboration. Urban Organics Pentair Group, LLC
was established to accelerate the development of
commercial scale modern aquaponics. Their first venture
together, at the former Schmidt’s Brewery building in St.
Paul, MN, has been under construction throughout 2016.
The work may be arduous, but the 87,000 square foot indoor
aquaponics facility is no small feat, and will be well worth it.
When complete, this will be one of the largest commercial
aquaponics facilities in the world and will annually provide
275,000 lbs. of fresh fish and 400,000 lbs. of organically
grown produce.
The first harvest distributed in the St. Paul area, and a grand
opening is planned for spring of 2017.

Seeding and Planting

Seeding and Planting Systems


Seed Germination
Germinating seeds can be extremely easy or extremely difficult depending on the type of plant and method
used. There are several ways to do this and we will describe a few below:
1. Directly into starter cubes: This is where you use a starter cube (Hortifiber Rockwool®, coco fiber, composted
pine bark, etc.) with a small hole in the center to start your seeds. You simply wet the media, drop the seeds in
the hole (or widen it a bit with a pencil for larger seeds) and then place them in a tray (with or without a
humidity dome, depending on your local humidity). Make sure to read up on your starter media as some media
should presoak in a mildly acidic solution for better sprouting results. Some seeds will do better when placed
directly out in the sun; some will do better if left in the dark for a few days then moved into the sunlight; and
some will do better with a bottom heat pad placed under the tray of starter cubes. One thing to remember is
that you want to get them in the same intensity of light that you will be growing them to maturity in as soon as
possible. In lower light conditions, plants stretch looking for light and become thinner/weaker and more prone
to breaking. Then when you move them into more intense light, they have a tendency to get leaf burn and
growth slows as the plant adjusts to the stronger light. If you’re trying a new variety for the first time, plant a
few test cubes, put them in direct to partial sun for a few days and watch what happens. Most seeds will sprout
just fine this way as long as the temperatures are in the correct range for the plant species being grown (look
on the seed packet as most of the timeall of the zone/planting times are listed on the packaging), but if you
aren’t having any luck or you see them sprout and start to get a bit burned, try one of the other methods until
you see what works best for that particular seed. Just remember, the quicker you get the plant used to the
final light intensity, the quicker it will grow.
2. Paper towel/plastic wrap method: Another popular way of sprouting seeds is by dampening a paper towel
with water and placing it on a plate. You then place your seeds on the damp paper towel and cover the plate
with plastic wrap. Place this in a dark place such as a cabinet and check it daily while also lifting the plastic
wrap to exchange the air inside. As soon as you see the seed crack open, remove the seed from the plate
and place the seed cracked end down into the starter cube. It will then shoot the tap root down into the
starter cube and the seed will rise out of the cube and fall off of the sprout. This method works extremely
well for all types of larger seeds such as beans, peas, sunflowers, cucumbers, etc. Using smaller seeds is
not advisable, since it would be extremely difficult to pick them up and place them into starter cubes without
hurting the sprouts.
3. Cuttings: Some plants take an extremely long time to grow from seeds, but their cuttings will readily root when cared for properly, eliminating a lot of
valuable time spent by the grower. The procedure is fairly simple. First you want to make sure you sterilize your scissors, knife or whatever tool you
plan to use to take the cuttings and also make sure to wash your hands well (especially if you are a smoker). Once you have sterilized the cutting tool,
take your cuttings and remove all of the fruit from the plant (if there is any) along with the bottom 50% of the leaves/stems. Dip the cut end into either
a rooting hormone powder or gel, then place directly into a presoaked starter cube. Some plants such as tomatoes will start to root within a day or
two, while other plants such as rosemary may take as long as a month to show any signs of roots. You want to keep the cuttings in a humid environment
by using a humidity dome or plastic wrap, and you want to make sure to exchange the air inside several times a day. Some plants will look pretty bad
before looking better, but that is because you are stressing the plant and basically forcing it to either grow roots or die. You want the media moist, but
not wet or waterlogged. You can also mist the plants to let the leaves take up water. Riding that fine line of wet/dry media tells the harder-to-root
plants that they need to sprout roots. Once you have done it a few times you will be able to look at the plants and tell when they have started to root,
then take the dome off until the plants get strong enough to move them to your main system. Where to germinate: Seeds can either be germinated
directly in your system, on sprouting tables, in individual sprouting trays or by many other means. It really comes down to what works best for the
area you have, labor involved and finances available. ®

Hydroponics vs Aquaponics
Hydroponics refers to using a nutrient solution to grow plants in a recirculating (closed) system. Open nutrient systems were used in the past but not much anymore. Two different ways hydroponic
systems work are:
• A ggregate, which uses a solid medium (sand, Hortifiber Rockwool®, gravel, perlite, vermiculite, peat moss, coconut husks, etc.) for support of plant roots.
• Liquid, which uses no supporting medium for plant roots.
Aquaponics refers to growing a fish (or any aquatic animal) and plant crop together in a recirculating system. So aquaponics is really the marriage of aquaculture and hydroponics, aggregate or liquid, in
a closed system.
Hydroponics and aquaponics offer these advantages over traditional farming: high productivity for the space used, conservative water usage, low environmental impact and the ability to grow plants out
of season. The primary disadvantage to both is the high startup cost involved.

Common Aquatic Species

Common Aquatic Species Used in Aquaponics


Tilapia sp.
There is little documentation through research as to which aquatic species work best in aquaponic
systems. Tilapia have the most results as they are very hardy and adaptable to poor water quality,
temperature and poor handling by farmers. They also have a large market value and have developed a
niche as a good-tasting white fish. The most common tilapia used are Nile tilapia (Oreochromis
niloticus), Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus), blue tilapia (Tilapia aureus) or some
crossbred variety of a wide number of tilapia species. They are ideal for our system here in Florida, as
we have a longer warm season here than many US states, and their ideal water temperature is in the
range of 75–90ºF. There are a number of hatcheries in our geographic area that can supply us with
fresh, affordable fingerlings. For colder temperatures, the blue tilapia has shown a wider tolerance
than the other species of tilapia and will continue feeding in the 60s. However, once the water
temperature starts to dip into the 50s and lower for a significant period of time, the fish will not survive
for very long. If you live in a cooler climate and do not have the capability to heat the water, then
perhaps tilapia is not the ideal species for you. Again, this will all go back to market demand and your
own cost analysis.

Koi
Koi are ornamental varieties of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and have a large market in the
United States as a decorative water feature or small pond fish for many homes and businesses. They
are cultured in many states and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and water quality
parameters similar to tilapia. However, their ranges are most ideal in between 60–75ºF. Similar to the
tilapia, once temperatures drop below their ideal range, they will stop feeding and can eventually die.
Below 50ºF, they will cease feeding and their immune system will begin to shut down, so they too can
suffer mortality after prolonged periods of time in those temperatures. Fortunately, in Florida we don’t
experience too many days with an average temperature below 50ºF.

Other Common Aquaponics Species


Ictalurus punctatus is North America’s most common catfish and is easily procured through the web of aquaculture hatchery suppliers in the country. It is
popular in aquaculture due to its rapid growth and wide temperature tolerance of 68–85ºF.
Hybrid-striped bass (Morone saxatilis and Morone chrysops cross) do well in a wide range of environmental conditions, including a temperature range of
40–90ºF, but grow best in between 75 and 80ºF.
Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is already a fish of large commercial importance throughout the world, especially in the Indo-Pacific area. It has proven to be
useful in aquaculture and aquaponic systems since its temperature ranges are similar to that of tilapia.
Jade perch (Scortum barcoo) is being considered more and more for aquaponic systems due to its wide tolerance for temperature fluctuations, 50–95ºF. It is
originally found in Australia and, like tilapia, is omnivorous.
Crappie and other sunfishes exist in almost every single US state, making access easy to farmers. Their temperature ranges are ideally between 58–68ºF,
but they have been located in waters much cooler and warmer than that.
Malaysian prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is a freshwater shrimp native to the Indo-Pacific area and is a common aquaculture food species.
Temperature ranges for this shrimp are ideally between 68–80ºF. One thing to note is that shrimp don’t typically occupy the same space in the water column
that a school of fish will occupy. They are found on the riverbed in nature as detritivores, but in an aquaculture system, their surface area can be increased
with the addition of high surface area structures within the tanks or ponds.

NOTE:
It is important to understand that while these are the most commonly used aquatic species used in aquaponics, there is only limited documented information regarding their performance and production data. Should you choose to use a
species outside of this list, we recommend that you contact your local aquaculture extension agent or a hatchery/farm operator to discuss the feasibility. As with any other aspect of this operation, you need to determine your market and
what would work best for you. If your ambient temperature is within 68–78ºF on average throughout the growing season, perhaps you should stick with a species best suited to that temperature to minimize system shock and avoid
possible loss of crop. It is true that the warmer the temperature, the more the fish will eat and the more nutrients they will excrete. However, high temperatures can also inhibit the growth and nutrient uptake of the plants, so it is
important to try to find a happy medium for all of your water quality parameters.

attached directly to the motor shaft. The rotating impeller doesn’t touch a thing,
so there’s no wear, no vibration, no seals and no lubrication. The aluminum
blower housing, impeller, and cover make major components inherently
corrosion resistant promoting extended product life. High altitude will affect
blower performance; deduct 4% of volume and pressure for every 1,000’ (300
m) above sea level. The 3,450-rpm motors used on these regenerative blowers
require about ten seconds to reach full speed. Use starting watts to size
generators and use full load amps to size breakers.

Motor
UL-, CSA- and CE-compliant, direct-drive, TEFC motors feature permanently
sealed ball bearings for increased protection against weather, dirt and
moisture, particularly in a humid aquaculture environment. These high-
efficiency type motors will run cool and handle a wide range of power variations
so often found in rural locations. Permanently sealed bearings incorporate
polyurea grease which extends bearing life and offers superior resistance to
washout, rust and corrosion. Thermal over load protection protects motor
windings from damage should the blower become stalled during operation.
Additionally, thermal over load protection switches automatically reset when
single-phase motor windings cool down to a safe level of operation. All models
will operate on both 50 and 60 cycle (Hz) power except models S631-B and
S651-B, which are 60 Hz only.

HEAT DISSIPATING PIPE


When air is compressed it gives off heat. This heat of Clamp Straight Pipe
compression, plus the heat from friction, can make a blower's Elbow
outlet air temperature high enough to fry an egg. When the inlet
air is 100°F and the blower pressure is just 55" H2O (2 psi),
the resulting 150°F discharge air can soften plastic PVC pipe.
This thin wall galvanized steel straight pipe can be used to cool
the compressed air before it reaches the plastic pipe. Rated to 4
psi (110"). Each clamp includes one gasket. Flex hoses are listed
by pipe size and include clamps. Seal connections with silicone
to prevent air leaks.

Regenerative Blowers

HIGH-PRESSURE REGENERATIVE BLOWERS


The ideal replacement for rotary lobe blowers and dry rotary vane vacuum
pumps. While delivering comparable (or better) air pressure, these high-
pressure blowers do not require the maintenance typically associated with
traditional types of blowers and vacuum pumps.
The cool-running outboard bearing design allows these units to achieve higher
differential pressures and extend service life. The rugged die-cast aluminum
build is lightweight, compact and super quiet. Easy-to-install, close-coupled
design means you can quickly add them to your system. And their internal
silencers, washable inlet filter and outlet flex hose further simplify installation.
Virtually maintenance-free. Fin-cooled TEFC motors operate at 50 and 60 Hz.
Three-year warranty.

re-aerating the same water. reading these ranges you might think, “A 230V motor can work at 208V.” That would be true if
your service always gave a minimum of 208V. But it will not because of “voltage variation.” For
instance, if your service is 208V, you will experience normal voltage variations as low as 187.
This is why some 230V motors operate on 208V service for a while, then, when other
equipment starts up, the voltage drops below 207 and the motor draws more amps, overheats
and fails.
Buck-boost transformers reduce (buck) or raise (boost) supply voltage to the required level.
A common application is boosting 208V to 230V.
If your motor is a long distance from your power meter you will also incur “line losses.” These
will show as lower voltage and higher amperage at the motor. To be sure your installation is
correct, always measure the volts and amps at the motor location, while it and everything else
on that line is operating. Both must be within the motor label’s specifications. See Tech Talks

Q: Do I need an expensive air pump?


A: Maybe not. It all depends on your need for reliability. If an air pump failure will cause a significant disruption and/or jeopardize the health of your fish, you not only
need a reliable air pump (i.e., expensive) but also a redundant system and a backup. Every air pump will fail eventually and when it does you will want something in
place to automatically prevent catastrophe. It could be two air pumps installed on separate breakers so that when one failed the other would do the job.
An inexpensive air pump will do for low-value, low-risk and/or temporary applications of less than 9 months duration; for instance, summer aeration in
a koi pond where a water pump/splash is the primary aerator. They can also be used as economical backup air pumps.

Aspirators vs Agitators
Aspirators and agitators are the aeration devices most commonly used on hauling tanks when the stocking densities do not
require the use of pure oxygen. Agitators use a small motor (normally 12V) to spin a paddle that is in the water. The paddle
splashes the water, which adds oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. Aspirators also use a small motor, which spins a small venturi
device. Air is pulled down through the shaft and exits the venturi underwater, causing a draft of bubbles. Agitators are the best
choice for heavy stocking loads because they transfer more oxygen than aspirators. Aspirators are a good choice for smaller
stocking densities, and they are much quieter than agitators.

to 45 degrees for optimal mixing, oxygen dispersion
and destratification. They are suitable for all
species and pond depths. It operates by creating a
partial vacuum under the water, drawing air
through the shaft and dispersing it into the water in
a horizontal direction. As the propeller rotates, it
All models are salt water compatible. induces a flow of atmospheric air through the air
intake ports on the shaft located above the water
surface. This air is then drawn through the shaft,
past the propeller, and exits in a high velocity
stream of fine bubbles (less than 2.2 mm in
diameter) as it is diffused into the water. This is
critical to both oxygen dispersion and oxygen
transfer. The smaller the bubble from an aerator,
the longer this bubble stays in the water. And the
longer the bubble can stay in the water, the greater
the opportunity this bubble has to become
dissolved oxygen.
The Unifloat design features a pontoon made of
molded polyethylene with a UV inhibitor. The shaft
housing is nonmetallic, noncorroding and flanged
for mounting to the aerator. It forms a guard around

SWEETWATER® AIR DIFFUSERS DESIGNED HERE


Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems Sweetwater diffusers are the highest-quality
ceramic-type air diffusers on the market today. They're machined from a solid
block of glass-bonded silica. Because dust and dirt particles up to 30 microns
in size will pass right through these diffusers, there's no need for expensive air
filters. And with an air resistance of less than .25 psi, Sweetwater® glass-
bonded diffusers are compatible with economical low-pressure blowers.
They produce a uniform medium/fine bubble and are very resistant to clogging.
And when cleaning does become necessary because of a buildup of calcium
precipitate or bacteria, an acid bath restores them to like-new performance. AES This is the lbs of fish
Note that water pH in excess of 9.0 will shorten the diffuser life. Self-weighting supported. See Tech Talk

Beware of imitations.
Sweetwater diffusers are the original 2,000°F glass-bonded silica diffusers
introduced by us in 1984. You may come across other diffusers that copy our

Cleaning Diffusers
Sweetwater® air diffusers, made of glass-bonded silica, are virtually indestructible and will give many years of service.
The only maintenance normally required is periodic cleaning. The frequency of cleaning will be determined by the mineral and organic content of the water in which the air diffusers are used.
In clean, cold, soft water, cleaning may only be necessary every 2 or 3 years. In very hard water or water high in organics, it could be necessary as often as every 2 months.
1. Remove from service and blow out excess water. If fouled with barnacles or other gross foreign material, scrape or hose off.
2. If you have a 1/2” NPT white fitting on the end of your diffuser, immerse the diffuser portion, not the fitting, completely in undiluted muriatic acid for a sufficient time to dissolve the clogging
material. This may take from one minute to eight hours in the most extreme cases. Be very careful when using acid! Wear eye, face and hand protection and have clean water available for rinsing and
acid diluting in the case of an acid splash or spill.
3. After the clogging material has been dissolved, rinse thoroughly before reuse.
4. Discard the used acid after reducing its strength to a neutral pH by diluting with at least ten times as much water as acid. Add acid to water; never add water to acid.

SWEETWATER® FINE-PORE DIFFUSERS


FOR OZONE AND PURE OXYGEN DESIGNED HERE
Sweetwater fine-pore diffusers are the same high quality as our regular
Sweetwater diffusers. The difference is in the smaller pore size, which produces
finer bubbles. Sweetwater fine-pore diffusers do require higher pressure (about
5" H2O more) and more frequent cleaning than our regular pore diffusers, so they
are not typically recommended for regular aeration. The bubble uniformity is
excellent.

Gas Injection System

POINT FOUR PRESSURIZED COLUMN (PPC)


High-performance gas injection system—flexible with low operating costs
The Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems Point Four Pressurized Column has
applications in aquaculture, horticulture, wastewater and effluent treatment,
and mining. In a typical system, pressurized water is side-streamed to the
column, where it is supersaturated with dissolved gas and then re-integrated to
the mainstream.
The system can be controlled manually, semi-automatically, or automatically.
An automatic system consists of a level or oxygen controller, water flow meters,
pressure gauge, and control valves.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS


100% gas utilization
• No gas losses from the system. 100% of the oxygen is dissolved into the water
with no bubbles.
High absorption capacity
• Packs the most gas into a given volume of water; e.g., 200 mg/L of dissolved
oxygen at 60 psi and 15ºC. 9’ (2.8M)
Custom engineered system
• Each system is designed to meet your specific needs.
Low operating costs
• Only a small side-stream is required (typically 5% of the main flow) to achieve
desired D.O. levels. If the system has adequate line pressure, integrating the
column into the main flow requires no additional pumping.
Optional automatic control
• Simply enter the desired oxygen level into the controller.
Oxygen concentration, and column water level are continuously
monitored and controlled.
Flexibility
• The system is designed to accommodate varying water flows.
Retrofit
• The system is easily installed into any pre-existing facility with minimal
disruption or down time.

Oxygen/Ozone Contact Cones

OXYGEN/OZONE CONTACT CONES


Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems Oxygen/Ozone Contact Cones are designed to
optimize the saturation of gases in water, and gas transfer efficiencies of up to
100% are possible. Operation of the cone is simple: as water and gas (either
pure oxygen, ozone or other gas) enter from the top at a relatively high velocity,
the water shears and moves the bubbles downward. As the cone widens the
velocity is reduced. The undissolved bubbles keep returning to the top, so only
water without bubbles can exit the bottom. At higher pressures, the dissolved
oxygen concentration may be increased significantly above saturation.
Features:
• 100% Utilization of gas
• Designed for maximum utilization of gas transfer area
• Available in many sizes for various flow requirements
• Designed for containerized shipping anywhere in the world

Oxygen Saturators

OXYGEN SATURATORS DESIGNED HERE


In 1989, we developed the 3-part oxygen saturator,
which performs like an oxygen cone, but with these
added benefits:
• Comes apart for cleaning.
• Has a smaller footprint.
• Top half bolts inside the bottom half for Ground OY75 OY35
shipment (small units).
Like the oxygen cones, our saturators feature 100 OY10 OY400 OY35P
percent oxygen absorbing capability. The water and
oxygen enter the top of the column, where agitation
and shear occurs. As the water and oxygen move
downward, their velocity is reduced by the increasing
diameters. This allows time and space for any oxygen
bubbles that have not dissolved to float. No bubbles
escape from the saturator. These saturators are
made of thick, high-density, black, linear
polyethylene with fusion-bonded flanges, except
OY35P, which is a low-priced PVC model that
features two clear sections so the bubbles can be
observed.
A valve (not included) is required on the outlet side
of all cones and saturators to control the pressure
within. When assembling the center flange, we
suggest using either a bead of silicone or a Neoprene
gasket. Center flange bolts and pressure gauge
(0–30 psi) are included. Inlet and outlet fittings and
flow meters not included. Overall height is to flange
face. Two-year guarantee. OY110 and smaller ship

variation in lake sizes.
Choose either a 100' (P200S) or 400' (P200-AQ) roll of unweighted tubing on
land. If used in the water, the unweighted tubing requires tie wraps (T120R)
and three-hole bricks (purchased locally) attached every 5–8' for weight.
Self-weighted tubing (WD1) takes much less time to install and eliminates the
bricks and tie wraps. Both types of tubing can be connected using couplings
(101A) and clamps (use SSA for P200-AQ tubing and SSB for WD1 tubing).
One coupling and two clamps per connection will be needed. Cabinets can be
located a long distance from the lake shore (call and ask us for guidance or

SOLAR AERATION SYSTEMS


Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems solar-powered
aeration systems utilize the sun's energy to add
oxygen to your pond. It's an environmentally friendly
way to take care of your pond and save money on
electricity! The solar panels convert photons from
sunlight into usable energy, which is then stored
in a battery and used to power a highly efficient air
compressor. Systems can be retrofitted to power
LED pond or landscaping lights, small decorative
fountains and 12V water pumps. All systems include
photovoltaic solar panel(s); industrial battery(s)
enclosed in a weatherproof, ventilated steel
cabinet; linear air compressor; bottom-mounted
air diffuser assemblies; tubing; and stainless steel
clamps. SPAS includes 100' of 3/8" tubing; SPAM

Heat Expansion pressure, continuous-duty applications. They more than double the air output
Bearings of reciprocating compressors with better longevity. Sacrificial oilless carbon
vanes automatically adjust as they wear to maintain efficiency.
Thermal overload protection, air filter, inlet check valve and 8' power cord are
included on single-phase units. Ten-psi models work to a water depth of 18 feet
and 15-psi models work to 27 feet, depending on tubing diameter and distance.
The only wearing parts are carbon vanes, which can be replaced in about 15
minutes using common tools. In continuous operation, vanes last 9–18 months,
depending on pressure.
All Sweetwater® compressors are performance tested before shipping and
covered by a one-year warranty (not including air filters, vanes, water or
lightning damage). Check valves are recommended where air tubing can fill with
water when the compressor is off.
Three-phase models ship with vanes removed. Three-phase compressors do
not have a power cord and must be wired by an electrician. Pentair AES highly
recommends using protective devices with all 3-phase equipment. Failure to
install protective devices will void most warranties.

De-Icing

GREAT LAKES® AERATION


DE-ICING SYSTEM DESIGNED HERE
This Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems aerator will do
a fine job keeping water open. The heart of the
aerator is the reliable Sweetwater® compressor,
which uses only 253 watts at 115V. The compressor
is mounted in a cabinet with an exhaust fan to
provide cool compressor operation. Air is
delivered from the shore-mounted compressor
to the air diffuser assembly. This is done via 100'
of HeavySet self-weighted tubing (included) to
ensure that the tubing and the diffuser assembly
stay securely on the bottom (HeavySet tubing
does not contain lead or other metals).
The special de-icing diffuser assembly (AD11GL) is
a 10" diameter flexible membrane that moves less
water than our standard diffuser and is ideal for
de-icing applications. The diffuser is mounted on
a weighted plastic support. To prevent any possible
bottom erosion and to give the assembly a stable DIFFUSER 100 FOOT WEIGHTED TUBING
platform, a 24" x 24" polyethylene underlay is ASSEMBLY
included. Weighs 78 lbs. One-year warranty on
all parts.

MODEL EACH Suitable for ponds from 1/4 to 5 acres. Call for placement suggestions.
LPAC3-2 $1,007.00

De-Icing Lakes
Most of us are aware that aeration systems are primarily required in summer, when the oxygen consumption rate is highest and stratification is most severe. In
some lakes and ponds, winter fishkills are also quite common.
When ice covers a lake, oxygen transfer from the atmosphere is eliminated. If there is a significant accumulation of snow on top of the ice, the photosynthetic
oxygen production can also be virtually eliminated. If the ice and snow cover persists long enough and the oxygen consumption rate underneath the ice is great
enough, there will be a fishkill. Clean lakes—those with a low trophic state index—may not require winter aeration.
During the summer, thermal stratification occurs when warmer water floats above cooler, heavier water. Near freezing, the situation is reversed. As water
approaches the freezing point, it expands and floats on top of warmer water.
The oxygen consumption that takes place in a lake is the result of biological and chemical reactions. Since the rate of these reactions is related to temperature, the winter aeration system needs to be
only about 20% of the size of a summer aeration system.
If it is acceptable to have an open hole in the ice, the simplest way to prevent a winter fishkill is to keep a small area ice free, either by using air or an electric de-icer. The electric de-icer may work best
at the shoreline, perhaps mounted on a dock, while air-powered systems seem to be preferred where longer distances are involved.
When the air compressor is mounted on the shore, the air line is buried below the frost line into the lake and directed to the area that is to remain ice-free. Caution must be taken due to the hazards of
open water in the winter, where people or animals may be on the ice. Also, be careful not to open too large a hole in the ice, which can result in the loss of too much of the lake’s heat.
Experience is necessary when designing de-icing systems, so we recommend contacting the Pentair AES Lakes Department for assistance.

DE-ICERS FW SW
Kasco® De-Icers are designed to be suspended from a dock or boat, or attached
to an optional horizontal float or universal dock mount (sold separately).
Mounted either vertically or horizontally, the de-icer circulates water to the
surface, causing turbulence that reduces or eliminates ice formation. The
motor assembly is sealed in an oil bath for long life and has ball bearings for
smooth operation. The guard and motor case are made of stainless steel. Each
unit includes a motor, propeller, two 20’ suspension ropes, guard assembly,
zinc anode and low-temperature-rated power cable. ETL-approved to UL
standards. Two-year warranty.
Thermostat Control is an economical way to control the operation of your
De-Icer. It uses air temperature only to turn it on when the temperature drops
below as set point that you decide. One C10 Control will control one 120V De-Icer.
Time & Temperature Control is designed for maximum energy conservation.
Controls how long the De-Icer will operate when temperatures demand. By
utilizing both time and temperature features, you can save power by only having
the De-Icer running while it is cold enough and in set time intervals. One C20

Lake Aeration
It takes a lot more than bubbles to do it right...
It takes know-how and a properly-sized Great Lakes® aeration/destratification system.
Most lakes cover vast areas and contain millions of gallons of water with a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of 10 mg/l or less. So a few random air bubbles rising from the bottom just aren’t enough to
satisfy a lake’s need for oxygen. But, use that same small volume of air to induce a significant rising current, and you have an extremely efficient lake aerator!
Pentair AES synergistic airlift diffusers are designed to lift and circulate huge volumes of water, bringing life-giving oxygen from the surface to the bottom. These unique air diffusers were specifically
engineered to cause an upwelling current without turbulence or bottom erosion.
The 4-sq.ft. diffuser assembly creates a vertical current using the rising force of air, moving low oxygen water up from the bottom and eliminating stratification. Hundreds of man-hours have
gone into the development of this technique, including underwater dye-flow studies and destratification experiments.
The system is simple, safe and virtually maintenance free. It’s the most effective lake aerator made! As little as 3/4 horsepower can be used to properly aerate a eutrophic 10-acre lake!
Technically Speaking
• W hen oxygen levels are low, you can expect transfer performance of more than 10 lbs of dissolved oxygen per horsepower per hour! (Pumps, fountains and “air bubblers” are typically less than 2 lbs per
horsepower per hour.)
• Bubbles expand and spread out as they rise. The column of water entrained within the
bubbles from a synergistic diffuser rises at about a foot per second, moving 2,000 gpm from
the area above the diffuser (a drilled pipe diffuser with the same air volume would move only about 200 gpm).
• The surface boil—created by the kinetic energy of the rising water—rises approximately two inches above the surrounding water level. From there, the water rushes outward until its energy has dissipated,
sometimes traveling more than 100 feet, depending upon temperature, surface tension and wind.
• The lake surface tension is ruptured in the boil area. Supersaturated gases, including carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, escape from the bottom water, and oxygen is absorbed.
• There’s no danger to swimmers, boaters or aquatic life—even a marking buoy is unnecessary. And, like hundreds of others, you’ll enjoy watching the surface “spring” boils. There is no electricity in the
water.
• It’s best to install the system prior to stratification. If the volume of anaerobic bottom water is greater than 1/6 of the lake’s total volume, contact Pentair AES for start-up instructions.
• Every lake is different. A Pentair AES aeration specialist will be happy to assist with equipment selection and system design. We’ll need to know the lake’s shape, size, depths, history, bottom type, water
source, flow, etc. Call for a sizing form or you’ll find one online at PentairAES.com.

SEA PEN AERATION & OXYGENATION


Harmful algal blooms, low dissolved oxygen events and parasite infestations
can wreak havoc on net-pen operations. In fact, year after year, millions of
dollars are lost to these events. Working closely with industry leaders over
the last 3 years, Pentair has developed a pair of solutions that provide com-
mercial aquaculture farmers a way to mitigate the impact of these events
and the support to manage the ever changing conditions faced by sea pen
operations.
The primary goal of the Pentair SPA (Sea Pen Aeration) and SPO (Sea Pen
Oxygenation) system is to balance the flow of air or oxygen at each site
so that distribution is even throughout the sea pen. A unique pod-based
approach provides delivery systems that can be customized to the specific
requirements of each site. Each pod can be placed strategically through-
out the pen at specific depths to compensate for conditions. Once balance
has been achieved, site specific flow adjustments can be made. The even
distribution assists mitigation efforts through the promotion of increased
water movement and oxygen dissolution. The even flow distribution of air or
oxygen to each of these injection sites is accomplished using back pressure
compensated flowmeters.
The maintenance and control of oxygen saturation supports healthy fish
stocks and increase in yield potential. Manage dosing regiments by tracking
critical water quality parameters using the Point Four line of monitoring
and control equipment. That includes a cloud-based offering for remote
monitoring and data trend analysis.

SEA PEN AERATION SYSTEM (SPA) DESIGNED HERE


Sea Pen Aeration System Overview
Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems Sea Pen Aeration System is a fully balanced
air flow system that evenly distributes compressed air across all net pens
at an aquaculture production site to promote greater water upwelling and
movement. This mitigates plankton blooms by moving low density algae/
plankton water from below to help dilute the algae/plankton density in the
water inhabited by the fish within the pens to a reduced level. There are
many different species of algae/plankton that pose different threat levels
to the well-being of the fish. As such, different air flows can be dialed into
the flowmeters to control the delivery of air within each pen’s diffuser
platforms. This air control allows the site operator to mitigate different
harmful plankton species, for each pen, based on the plankton’s unique
motility. Consult with a Pentair AES representative for site specific design
and performance.

Features & Benefits


• Mitigates mortalities caused by algae/plankton
• Dilutes the algae/plankton density to reduced levels in the water inhabited
by the fish
• Creates water movement and upwelling across the entire net pen site
• Customers have reported > 50% improvement in removal of harmful
plankton from the usage of the SPA units
• Unique pod-based aeration system simplifies installation, maintenance
and service compared to antiquated hose & grid based aeration systems.
• Platforms are constructed of corrosion resistant 316L stainless steel Aeration Platform

Sea Pen Oxygenation System

SEA PEN OXYGENATION SYSTEM (SPO) DESIGNED HERE

Sea Pen Oxygenation System Overview


The Pentair Sea Pen Oxygenation System is a flexible and robust dissolved
oxygen management platform. A unique pod-based approach allows the
flow of compressed oxygen to be controlled and balanced throughout each
sea pen site. Each pod can be strategically placed throughout the pen at
specific depths to compensate for conditions and optimize dissolution. The
system can accommodate any number of sea pens at any one site with no
limit on flowmeter panels or diffuser assemblies.
The main reason for the oxygenation system on a sea pen site is to increase
the dissolved oxygen (D.O.) content the fish will encounter. The side benefits
of increased D.O., are shortened harvesting cycles, improved feed
conversion rates, or continuous feeding during low D.O. events. The peace
of mind, knowing a remote sea pen site can deal with an emergency oxygen
situation, is also beneficial. Each platform will still receive the same flow of
oxygen, regardless of the movements of the other platforms.

Application Examples
• Parasite treatment

SWEETWATER™ SWX BIO-MEDIA


Successful biofiltration using moving bed technology requires the use of the
right media. Pentair’s Sweetwater SWX Bio-Media is the ideal choice at a
great price. These biofilm carrier elements are made from 100% virgin
high-density polyethylene. With a surface area of 274 ft2/ft3 this proven
geometric design provides an abundant amount of surface area for bacteria
to colonize. Robust bacteria colonization is essential to the nitrification
process of converting ammonia to nitrite and ultimately nitrate. Pentair’s
Sweetwater SWX Bio-Media’s positively buoyant characteristic allows for
continuous movement in a bio-filtration tank with the use of an air pump or
blower. The constant circulating action exfoliates the older, less active
bacterial layer; which eliminates the need for backwashing and allows the
media to be self-cleaning.

Waste Waste
Mixed media filtration greatly surpasses the performance of single media filters. The drawback to a In In
single media filter is that the first one inch of media is trapping most of the solids and the bottom
portion is just wasted space. A sand filter that uses a single size sand grain will have an average
size space between the grains that varies only slightly.
A mixed media filter uses different grain sizes to segregate solids throughout the bed. A large media is
used first to “pre-filter” large solids. Beneath that is a finer size and then a very fine media on the
bottom. Each media used is a different specific gravity, designed so that it will return to the ideal
stratified layer after backwash. During backwash the entire media bed is expanded, “fluidized” and
rinsed. Upon return to normal operation, the media that is the smallest and heaviest settles first to the
bottom. The largest is the lightest and settles on top.

Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems’ Eco-Trap is an exclusive
highly-optimized dual drain waste collection system that
allows for the effective and efficient removal of settleable

waste solids (uneaten feed and feces) in Recirculating
Aquaculture Systems (RAS). The Eco-Trap system’s center
main drain handles the primary water exchange for a RAS
tank; while a smaller integrated solids drain provides an Outlet
in-tank means for fast and efficient waste removal. Up to 50% Particle Trap Inlet
of the waste solids can be removed from the tank within Screen
minutes of their generation. The Eco-trap system makes RAS
tanks self-cleaning by pulling solids to the middle of the tank
where they are automatically removed.

materials through a side-stream solids drain to a polyethylene
waste collector that is mounted on the side of each tank. Solids Particle Trap Viewing
are collected and concentrated in a side-stream flow Base Window
consisting of approximately 5% of the total flow from the tank.
Easy observation of the waste collector by the farm operator Solids Drain

Parabolic Screen Filters

PARABOLIC SCREEN FILTERS FW KOI


These semi-self-cleaning filters are designed to remove solids from water with
only occasional cleaning attention. They use a wedge wire, 304 stainless steel
screen set in a parabolic shape to take advantage of the Coanda effect*. This
wedge wire shape encourages solids-free water to drop between the screens
and solids to be left on the surface. The solids are then pushed toward the
waste trough and washed into a waste tank automatically. This filter is ideally
suited for a gravity-flow system. It has a 200-micron, removable screen.
Rubber couplings with clamps are included. Not recommended for use with
salt water.

Fixed Bed Up-Flow Filter

FIXED BED UP-FLOW FILTER NEW!


Improve the Capture of Small Particulate Matter
Solids removal is one of the most important processes in a recirculating
aquaculture system. Sedimentation vessels are generally effective for
removing particulates larger than 80 microns, but finer solids can pass through
the unit and remain in the system deteriorating water quality. Pentair Aquatic
Eco-Systems’ fixed bed up-flow filter is specifically designed to remove fine
particulate matter remaining in the waste stream. These filters employ
Sweetwater ® SWX Bio-Media (included) for the filtration substrate in a
non-pressurized up-flow configuration. The media physically traps suspended
solids and is cleaned easily through a backwash process that introduces
heavy aeration to aggressively agitate trapped particulates. After the solids
have settled in the cone bottom, open the waste discharge valve and flush the
effluent out from the vessel. Filter bypass allows complete isolation of the
unit during the backwash operation.
Available in three sizes designed to handle a range of flow rates. Units were
designed as a secondary filtration component and should be placed
downstream from primary filter apparatuses. A great application for these
units would be in aquaponic systems.
• Sturdy double-wall base support.
• Domed lid keeps it clean.
• Coned bottom allows complete drainage.
• Comes with lid, tank, stand (except RJB-3), bypass valves,
Sweetwater SWX Bio-Media and plumbing to discharge effluent.

Bead Filters

SWEETWATER BEAD FILTERS FW SW KOI DESIGNED HERE

Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems Sweetwater® Bead Filters are specifically


engineered to deliver both mechanical and biological filtration in one highly
efficient package. Applications include koi ponds, public aquariums, zoos,
hatcheries, research facilities, aquaponics, quarantine and environmental
biological recovery systems. Robustly constructed heavy-duty fiberglass filter
vessels are rated at maximum 50 PSI and designed to hold up to 4500 ft² of
biological contact surface area in a small footprint.
Backwashes are accomplished with ease using a blower system. The blower
aggressively agitates the debris collected in the media bed and suspends it in
the water column to be backwashed. Water clarity monitoring during backwash
cycles and the return stream is convenient using built-in sight glasses.
If separate mechanical filtration is provided upstream, pond size and fish
capacity can as much as double when the bead filter is used for biological
filtration only. Pond volume and fish load capacity numbers are nominal and 930080
sizing requirements should be determined by daily feed rate.
Bead filters include filtration vessel mounted on a rigid plastic base, control
valve with 2” union connections and filter bead media. Available models include
a choice of 120V/60Hz blower or a 240V/50Hz blower. Ships Ground. One-year
warranty.
Design Features
• Innovative flow control protects against friction loss by eliminating
unnecessary flow restrictions inside the system allowing greater water flow
• Both an excellent mechanical and biological filter
• Clear sight glasses allow you to monitor filtered effluent and waste discharge
streams
• Bottom mounted sludge drain discharges heavy solids without media
interference
• Bypass function isolates beneficial bacteria and media without disturbing
normal water flow. Ideal for medicating the aquatic environment without
negatively impacting the beneficial bacteria.
• High-output blower fluidizes and pre-washes media prior to backwash,
reducing the amount of water needed to clean the system, which increases 930083
biological efficiency.
• Removable diffuser inlet makes for easy cleaning

ARIAS™ 4000 SAND FILTERS


Thermoplastic sand filter with multiport valve
The Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems Arias 4000 Top Mount Filters are the perfect
high performance sand filters. They're incredibly simple to operate and
maintain, and they're built with long-term reliability in mind. Plus, their highly
efficient design provides all the filtration your system requires, year after year.
Sand filters are one of the most popular and cheap ways to filter water,
and for good reason. They are simple, effective and require very little attention.
Water is routed through a sand-filled pressure vessel. In this method,
impurities are extracted from the water using sand to collect and attract
the debris as small as 20 to 40 microns. Over time, dirt accumulates in the
spaces between the sand particles causing the pressure in the vessel to
rise as water finds it harder to pass through. This signals you to "backwash"
the filter. Simply reverse the water flow and "knock out" the dirt.
The top-mount, 6-function 11⁄2" multiport valve of the Arias 4000 puts all
filter functions right at your fingertips—just rotate the handle to the desired
position and the Arias 4000 does the rest for sure and simple operation.
Features a pressure gauge and manual air relief for optimum filtration
efficiency. Its internal design ensures that water is exposed to maximum sand
surface area for superior filtration performance and efficient backwashing.
Features:
• One-piece thermoplastic tank for exceptional strength, corrosion resistance
and long life
• Combination water and sand drain makes servicing fast and easy
• Special internal design maintains sand bed level for consistent performance
and extended time between cleaning cycles

Bag Filters/Filter Bags

BAG FILTER TECH FAV


This polypropylene filter vessel is designed to allow high flowrates through a single reusable bag filter. It is
rated at 75 gpm for clean water (for particulate-laden water and/or to extend time between cleanings, we
recommend a design flowrate below 40 gpm). For higher flows, use two or more in parallel. To further
extend time between cleaning, place a larger micron filter before a smaller micron filter in series. The
vessel is made of UV-inhibited polypropylene with a threaded lid, O-ring and removable internal basket for
easy bag removal. This vessel has 2" FNPT inlet and outlet and 1/4" FNPT lid vent and weighs 10 lbs. 38” H
with legs x 11” D at the widest point. Optional pressure gauges for lid vent are below. Vessels include
housing, lid, retainer basket and 2 plastic leg/foot assemblies, easily cut to required height. Conical base
(36049) highly recommended. Maximum pressure is 100 psi @ 110°F. One-year warranty.
Bag Filters
Bag filters are 6" dia. x 20" length with 2 ft2 of surface area. They are fitted with a ring that seals directly
against the filter housing, eliminating any chance of bypass. Ten levels of filtration bags offered from 1 to
800 microns.
Differential pressure gauge
Designed exclusively to supplement pressure gauges used on our FV1 bag filter. It mounts on the mounting

SWEETWATER LOW-SPACE BIOREACTOR FILTER


®
KOI
Fully automatic, self-adjusting and continuously self-cleaning
This is a robust, nonpressurized biofilter that is much less sensitive to flow
rate variations and power interruptions than fluidized bed sand biofilters.
When operated in low-head recirculating systems, it can easily be sunk into
the floor to reduce the pump pressure. When installed this way, only a few
inches of head loss will occur across the LSB. Because air is used to circulate
the media, the LSB both adds oxygen and strips carbon dioxide! A hood can
be placed over the bioreactor to vent the CO2 outdoors. We have colored them
blue/green to prevent algae growth inside and provide the dark environment
preferred by the Nitrobacter bacteria.
Air diffuser depth can be adjusted for compatibility with your blower/
compressor. LSBs are complete with media. Compressed air connections
are 1/2” slip. Air pump not included. All you need are male-threaded pipe
connections. We can also custom build larger sizes. Ships motor freight.

Fluidized Sand Biofilters


The purpose of a biological filter is to convert ammonia to nitrate. Fish excrete ammonia in proportion to the amount of food they eat. In our catalog, you will see a "Feed per Day" rating based on a 40%
protein content, 10% moisture content feed, with typical digestibility. Fluidized bed biofilters using sand media are extremely compact and very inexpensive compared to other biofilters because the media
is sand. Water flows upward through the sand causing the sand grains to float or "fluidize." When the water flow is too low to fluidize the bed it is called a "collapsed bed." When the proper amount of
water is flowing, the sand expands upward, a condition referred to as an "expanded bed." If too much water is flowing, the bed will over expand and the smaller grains will be carried out of the biofilter in
the outflow water. There are three important aspects of fluidized sand biofilters. The first is the water inflow diffuser at the bottom. The diffuser creates a uniform, low-turbulence sand flow pattern.
Excessive turbulence can erode the biofilter vessel and scour nitrifying bacteria from the sand grains. The second aspect is water flow velocity. A narrow water flow range must be maintained to keep the
sand properly fluidized. Flow variations caused by pre-filters can result in collapsed or "blown-out" sand beds. The third aspect is refluidization. At start-up, a little extra pump pressure and an effective
water diffuser design are required for initial fluidization.

CYCLONIC BIOREACTOR
The Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems Cyclonic BioReactor (CBR) is a Fluidized Sand
BioReactor (FSB) otherwise known as a Fluidized Sand Bio-Filter. The purpose
of the CBR is to provide a vehicle for the Nitrification of Ammonia by fluidizing
(or suspending in water) silica sand media. This is a two stage process where
the Nitrifying Bacteria form a biofilm on the surface of the silica sand media
that oxidizes Ammonia into Nitrite (Nitrosomonas) and Nitrite into Nitrate (Nitrobacter).
Features:
• Designed to maintain the highest level of system water quality with the lowest
operating and maintenance cost
• A small footprint, ideal for confined spaces
• Available in many sizes for various flow requirement
• Diameters up through 84” (2134 mm) designed for containerized shipping
anywhere in the world
• Multiple units can be connected in parallel for a larger flow rate

Removing Carbon Dioxide


Did you know that for every 1 lb of oxygen consumed by fish they discharge 1.38 lbs of carbon dioxide? Carbon dioxide does cause problems in recirculating systems without aeration or degassing. This
can be the case, for example, where pure oxygen is used in place of aeration. Carbon dioxide must be removed, or it can build up to dangerous levels…dangerous to the fish and to humans if the fish are
raised in a closed building.
Here are some numbers to keep in mind. Oxygen is about 20.9% of the air and, because it is only slightly soluble in water, it becomes saturated at a level of about 9 ppm at 68°F (20°C). Carbon dioxide
is .033% of the air and is saturated in water at about .5 ppm (the ratio is higher because it is more soluble than oxygen). The comparative concentration of these two gases in blood is similar to that of
water. Therefore, a lot of carbon dioxide in the water means there will also be a lot of carbon dioxide in the blood of the fish. An excess of 5 ppm carbon dioxide in the water will affect the ability of the
fish to breathe.
If intensive aquaculture operations are being conducted outdoors, a splash aerator or aeration with air diffusers will drive the carbon dioxide into the air. If the operations are in a closed building, very
high levels of carbon dioxide can accumulate in the air (we’ve seen levels exceeding 4,000 ppm in the air in closed aquaculture facilities!). It then has to be removed from the building.
Air ventilators can also remove a lot of heat along with the carbon dioxide. We suggest that carbon dioxide be stripped with a degassing column that is ventilated to the outdoors. Outdoor air can be
drawn directly into the bottom of the degassing tower, forced up through the downflowing liquid, then directed back outdoors separate from the inlet. In cold weather, there will be a significant cooling
effect on the water because it is being degassed through cold, dry air. A simple air-to-air heat exchanger will help.

PR AQUA™ OXYTOWER™ GAS TREATMENT SYSTEM


The PR Aqua OxyTower Gas Treatment Systems for culture water deliver
maximum value, performance, and security to aquaculture operators.
One rugged, compact unit removes carbon dioxide and oxygenates water.
The cost-effective design can be used in partial reuse systems, in recirculating
aquaculture systems, or in flow-through systems.
Designed for optimal gas transfer performance, the OxyTower System delivers
energy efficiency through precise pump sizing and low head oxygenation.
Blowers are used to strip carbon dioxide. An optional alarm system is
easily integrated.
Water enters the vessel from the top orifice plate and cascades down through a
Carbon Dioxide Stripper. Blowers, sized specifically for desired flow rates and
carbon dioxide removal, force fresh air across water droplets. This process
drives off carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen until the dissolved gases are close
to saturation. Treated water flows into a stilling chamber and is delivered to the
top of the LHO chamber where water is supersaturated with oxygen.
The OxyTower System, with integrated controls, can be installed into existing
facilities and requires:
• Simple plumbing and electrical connections on site
• A pump, header tank, oxygen flow meter, and oxygen source

Key Advantages
• Combines carbon dioxide removal and oxygenation into one space-saving,
energy-efficient unit
• Lowers energy costs by reducing pumping requirements
• Reuses 50 to 70% of water within a tank system
• Increases fish production without increasing water consumption
• Improves fish health by optimizing water quality
• Installs easily into raceways or tank culture systems
• Allows conversion of a flow-through system into a partial reuse system to
significantly reduce water usage
• Treats flows of 100 to 2,000 gpm—seven models available
• Provides durability—aluminum construction
• Offers improved security with built-in blower redundancy
• Integrates with optional components for complete reuse packages

CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION AND PRICING.

VACUUM DEGASSERS
The PR Aqua Vacuum Degasser is an open bottom column designed to be
installed in a header tank containing water to a required depth. Water enters
the vessel through a sealed top and cascades down into the vessel. A vacuum
pump or blower creates lower pressure within the vessel thereby releasing
gases from the water into the atmosphere. Stripped water is discharged into a
header tank and is ready for further treatment if required.

Key Advantages
• Reduces TGP to below saturation
• Simplifies operation and maintenance
• Installs easily into a retrofit or into a new system
• Removes potentially harmful gases like hydrogen sulfide
• Offers rugged construction—stainless steel, aluminum, fiberglass or
concrete with metal fittings
• Allows for addition of oxygen
• Includes sight tube for easy measurement of vacuum level within vessel

Gas Treatment

CARBON DIOXIDE STRIPPER


PR Aqua Carbon Dioxide Strippers are ideal for water reuse and
recirculating aquaculture systems. Pentair offers seven sizes for flow rates up
to 2,000 gpm. Excess carbon dioxide in culture water can be toxic to fish, and
removal of excess carbon dioxide is critical. The Carbon Dioxide Stripper
simultaneously removes carbon dioxide and aerates water.
Water enters the vessel from the top and cascades inside the column. A blower,
sized specifically for the desired flow and carbon dioxide removal, forces fresh
air across the water droplets. Carbon dioxide is driven off and oxygen is absorbed
until the dissolved gases are close to saturation. Treated water drops into the
header tank and is ready for distribution.

Key Advantages
• Uses forced air to strip elevated carbon dioxide from culture water
• Reduces total gas pressure (TGP) when necessary
• Can use excess elevation from biofilter, which reduces pumping requirements
• Includes built-in blower redundancy

CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION AND PRICING.

LOW HEAD OXYGENATORS


The PR Aqua Low Head Oxygenator (LHO) System supersaturates water with
oxygen without using high pressure pumps or compressed oxygen typical of
other oxygenation equipment. Pentair customizes LHOs to meet desired
oxygenation results, footprint restrictions, and flow rate requirements.
Water with a low dissolved oxygen concentration is distributed across an orifice
plate at the top of the LHO. Water droplets fall evenly into chambers where
oxygen (and/or ozone) is injected at one side of the vessel and passes through
each chamber in series. Oxygen is driven into the water while nitrogen is forced
out. The oxygen depleted gas mixture escapes by bubbling out of the burp tube.

Key Advantages
• Minimizes overall water consumption
• Installs easily into raceways, header tanks, or centralized treatment modules
• Efficiently distributes oxygen by using internal baffle design
• Requires minimal maintenance
• Uses gravity fed supply water to allow for low head requirement—no high
pressure pumps
• Achieves up to 200% oxygen saturation with low pressure oxygen supply (less
than 5 psi when using an oxygen generator)
• Offers durability—aluminum or stainless steel construction
• Uses either bulk or generated oxygen and can be used to dissolve ozone
into water
• Allows for adjustment of burp tube depth to suit hydraulic loading rate

130 DEGASSING
Columns

DEGASSING COLUMNS
Nitrogen gas can kill fish at only 3% above saturation!
Degassing columns are used for removing nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide or other gases
from water. They also add oxygen to undersaturated water. In most areas, well water (ground water) is
low in oxygen and too high in nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide.
Each segment is made of heavy-duty, UV-resistant polyethylene for outdoor use. They are engineered
to produce the ideal flow pattern to prevent wall channelization while exchanging air at each segment.
Install just the number of segments to give the water quality needed. Each segment can receive as
much as 150 gpm with excellent aeration and gas stripping results.
Each segment (16” D x 18” H) has a molded bracket that fits onto an optional hanger. The 6’ H x 4” W
hanger is a fiberglass I-beam, predrilled for 4 segments (bolts included). Snap the segments onto the
hanger and either hang it from the ceiling, attach it to the tank wall, or to a post, so the water goes in
the top and exits directly into the tank. Each segment should be filled with 0.6 cubic feet of biomedia
(sold separately, see Index). We recommend BF44A.

SPECIALTY FILTRATION 131
Protein Skimmers

EV SERIES PROTEIN SKIMMERS


The AquaC protein skimmers employ a “spray
injection system” that draws in much more air
than any other on the market. The more air, the
EV400 more work that gets done. This injection system
is coupled with a compact mixing box that has an
internal baffling system—increasing contact time
and removing more waste from the water. The
skimmers are designed to run in sumps without
being raised, and the output valve is at a height of
9” (EV120–EV180 models), which means that as
long as the sump level is 9” or lower it will
eliminate water level fluctuation effects on
skimming. EV240–EV2000 can sit in water as
deep as 10”. The “Twist-Lock” collection cup and
cap creates a secure, quick-release connection.
Skimmers are very quiet and include precision
airflow valves. All skimmers come with a JG Guest
fitting for ozone or to bleed off excess CO2 from a
calcium reactor. Units also have outlet gate valves.
Pump is not included.

Protein Skimmer/Foam Fractionator


Ammonia, feces and carbon dioxide are not the only waste products in a recirculating fish system. There are also complex organic substances from decomposing feed, urea, fish slime and metabolic
by-products. Added to that are algae, phenols and saprophytic bacteria that irritate the fish's gills, affect growth rate and increase disease susceptibility. These dissolved and suspended materials
make up the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), color, odor, taste, turbidity, etc., that a foam fractionator can remove.
Foam fractionation (also referred to as protein skimming and protein fractionation) works best in salt water where foam production is easier, but it can be done and is becoming more popular in
freshwater systems (call for details).
The process uses air bubbles from a fine bubble diffuser or venturi to create the foam. The foam adsorbs and entraps the above pollutants, along with the surface active compounds that make foam
production possible, all of which are then expelled through a discharge tube or into a holding chamber.
The use of ozone can enhance this process. It will also aid in the control of bacteria, protozoa and viruses. In general, a protein skimmer should be sized to give a time of residence between thirty
seconds and two minutes in the contact chamber. Longer periods are needed to remove smaller particles.
In general, the higher the pH and salt level, the better they work. We offer no guarantee on these and they are not returnable because we have no control over your water's ability to produce foam. Learn
a lot more from the book Recirculating Aquaculture (WQB109).

How does UV Sterilize the Organisms in my water? So, How Does a UV System Work?
When you hear “UV”, tanning on the beach may come to mind, but the UV light that water The lamps used for disinfection are very similar to the lamps used in the fluorescent fixtures in
treatment systems emit is not the same UV that turns your skin to that golden brown, or red! your home. The primary difference is that the lamps in your home convert ALL of the UV-C
Light is divided into wavelengths; for example red light and blue light are emitted at different generated by the lamp into visible light. The UV lamps in your water treatment system have no
wavelengths. Similarly there are 3 principal bands or wavelengths of UV that are of interest here. visible light converting phosphor (that white stuff on the inside of the fluorescent lamps), and
The three bands are called UV-A (long wavelength), UV-B, (mid wavelength) and UV-C (short special quartz envelopes that allow the UV-C to transmit outside of the bulb. The lamps in your
wavelength). Sunlight that reaches the surface of the earth is comprised primarily of UV-A and home use a special glass envelope that totally blocks UV at any wavelength be it UV-A, UV-B, or
has some UV-B. These wavelengths are what reach your skin when you go outside on a sunny day. UV-C.
UV-C is emitted by our sun, but is blocked by our atmosphere. UV-C is very natural! UV treatment systems are comprised of a highly efficient UV lamp that is situated within a high

chamber or vessel. The quartz sleeve is the boundary between the water and the lamp; we don’t
want our lamps to get wet!
Water flows through the chamber, and around the lamp/sleeve assembly. The UV-C generated by
the lamp emits through the water, hits the organisms we want sterilized, and does its job.

So, What Do We Need to Know to Ensure Successful Installation of a UV Treatment


System?
-Target organism – What dose do we need?
- Flow Rate – so we can get you the right dose at your flow rate
- UVT or Ultra Violet Water Transmission –What is that???

UVT or Ultra Violet Transmittance


Water as a fluid allows light to pass through it, we all know that. We also know that water
‘attenuates’ or absorbs light as you go deeper and deeper into it, i.e. a lake or an ocean. Many
Light emitted in the UV-C range is very effective at sterilizing very small organisms such as people that scuba dive know that water absorbs red light faster than blue light; when you dive
bacteria, fungi, algae, spores, viruses, etc. UV-B and UV-A do as well, just with much lower down the reds disappear or get absorbed before the blue light does. What this demonstrates is
effectiveness. The peak effective wavelength for micro-organism sterilization is right near the that water absorbs light at different rates, dependent on the wavelengths.
middle of the UV-C wavelength band and found at 262nm. Keep that number in mind! That is
where the biology and lamps meet; UV lamps primarily emit UV-C light at 254nm. This UVT is not a common term. In fact, many do not even know that this parameter is one of the most
wavelength, which happens to be very close to the peak effective sterilization wavelength of important aspects with regards to ensuring that a UV treatment system works well. UVT is the
262nm! amount of light, ONLY at 254nm (or the wavelength that the lamp emits), that can go through 1cm,
or about 2/5’s of an inch of water. For example, a UVT of say 90% means that 90% of the UV-C
It should be also noted that different organisms require different levels of exposure to UV-C in light will still be there, and not absorbed, after travelling through 1cm of water. The lower the
order to be sterilized; some organisms are tougher than others! This level of exposure is called UVT, the more the UV-C light is absorbed by the water, and generally that means that we have to
UV ‘dose’. In basic terms dose is the intensity of the emitted UV light multiplied by the exposure pick a system with more lamp power. Ineffective UV treatment can be attributed to improper
time. For example when using the same UV treatment system for an application, doubling the consideration of UVT when sizing a system.
flow rate through the reactor would halve the dose value. A doubled flow rate means that the
water was exposed to the light from the UV lamp for half the time it had been before. Now UV-C light gets absorbed very quickly by water, even in very pure water. Even our atmosphere
absorbs it. If you add things to the water, i.e. anything, the amount of UV-C that gets absorbed
goes even higher and effectively the UVT value drops. At microscopic levels minerals, chemicals,
Harmful Pathogens associated with Aquaculture tannins, biological debris, etc., can reduce the UVT value of your water. Some typical UVT values
are:
- Pools: 85% to 95% UVT
- Aquaculture: 70% to 98%
- Public aquariums & zoo displays: 70% to 98%.

As the water UVT drops, UV systems need more lamp power to reach the same
target dose!
Did you know that a system for 90% UVT water can sometimes require as much as 20% to 30%
more lamp power than that of a system for water with a 95% UVT, even though they have the same
flow rates and dose level requirements? UVT is very important! If you were to use 95% UVT as
your criteria when you purchased your system, and your water was actually 90% UVT, your system
would not treat your water appropriately; it would be undersized, and perhaps drastically
undersized! This is a reason many people have trouble getting UV to work for them. They don’t
take the actual UVT of their water into account. If you need assistance calculating your UVT
please do not hesitate to contact a Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems representative today!

the world’s most advanced and affordable portable UV254 testing meter,
guaranteed. The portable Real UVT meter can quickly and accurately test
UV254 in the field within minutes. The Real UVT meter utilizes Real Tech Inc.’s
patented Split-Sense technology to give it many advantages such as its fast 1
minute warm-up time and extreme accuracy.
Split-Sense technology works by using a single beam of UV light to take
continuous readings before and after the insertion of the quartz cuvette
allowing for compensation of the effects of UV lamp drift and fluctuations.
The Real UVT meter’s new calibration memory feature allows testing to be
performed without the need to zero the meter with 100% DI water even if the
meter has been powered off.

Measuring Organics
UV254 provides an indication of the amount of natural organic matter (NOM) in
water and wastewater. More specifically, UV254 is the best detector of aromatic
organics or reactive NOM.
Aromatic organics are problematic, having several negative effects. For 2-YEAR WARRANTY
example, when combined with chlorine, aromatic organics readily form
disinfection by-products (DBPs).
The Real UVT field meter is the ideal solution for testing UV254 anywhere, REAL UVT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
anytime. The Real UVT can also be used as a practical alternative or
supplement to measuring other more expensive and complicated organic test UV WAVELENGTH 253.7 nm
parameters such as TOC, DOC, BOD and COD.

UV Light Transmittance
UV transmittance (UVT) is not turbidity! The water’s clarity is not an effective indicator, because both solid and dissolved material can absorb UV light. For
example: metals (iron) in water are not visible to the human eye but absorb UV light and have a negative impact on UVT.
UVT is the transmission of UV-C light (at 254 nm) through water. Regarding Aquaculture applications, flow-through fish-culture systems requiring influent
disinfection typically test at 90-95% UVT. In contrast, RAS recirculating aquaculture systems typically test lower at 70-85%T. Application conditions vary and,
therefore, must be evaluated individually.
UVT must be considered when sizing any UV system. Using a meter is the only method of determining an application’s true %T.

As efficiency relates to aquaculture, pumping and aeration are the two biggest consumers of electricity. heaters, chillers, filters, etc.
After feed costs and labor, electricity is probably the next highest overhead expense. Be careful when In
selecting a pump. Do not compare them by horsepower alone. Often, a cheap pump has an undersized
motor that must work very hard to do the job. This may be an appropriate pump selection for temporary
or noncritical applications, but not where the lives of your animals are concerned. Often, pool type

Inlet Strainers
Pump inlets can become quickly clogged by just a few leaves, a plastic bag, a small amount of debris or even a dead fish. Inlet strainers are devices that keep debris out of a pump that might otherwise
damage or clog it. They generally are not designed to be water filters (requiring frequent cleaning), but rather pump protectors. A pump's performance is greatly diminished when its inlet is restricted. To
avoid flow reduction or stoppage, you will need an inlet strainer with a large enough surface area to not impede water flow, even when partially clogged. Another reason you need a large surface area strainer is
to reduce the water velocity at the strainer inlets, so that debris, small fish and animals do not become stuck. To prevent this blockage, we recommend that the strainer screen surface area be a
minimum of one square foot for every ten gallons per minute pumped.
The strainer opening should be small enough to keep out anything that will clog the pump, the pump's strainer and the orifices of any valves, etc., after the pump. Your water filtering device, such as
sand filters, bead filters, cartridge filters, etc., should be located just after the pump. Stringy materials can be a problem because they can go through small strainer openings and wrap themselves on
the pump's impeller. To prevent this, use a very large surface area with a strainer inlet that creates a tortuous path. Spun polypropylene, open cell foam and even multiple wraps of window screen over a
strainer can be used for this purpose.
A check valve (also known as a foot valve) can be attached to the inlet strainer in applications where the pump will lose its prime when shut off. The check valve's orientation is important for rapid and
positive closure.

And partial reuse and recirculating systems can improve production by using

IMPROVE FISH HEALTH


• Maintain uniform water quality: Circular tanks achieve proper water circulation,
which prevents lowoxygen regions from developing. Higher oxygen levels can
be maintained, which improves fish health, growth rates, and feed conversion
ratios. Unlike raceways, high fish densities can be safely maintained.
• Raise fit fish: Circular tanks provide a range of rotational velocities across the
radius of the tank. With a variety of swim speeds, hatchery fish have better
stamina and survivability. In addition, proper tank hydraulics evenly distribute
feed and fish.
• Minimize pathogens: Unlike concrete, PR Aqua’s proprietary fiber-reinforced
plastic (FRP) laminate does not harbor pathogens. The smooth, fish-friendly
surface eliminates fin and scale damage, which can increase susceptibility to
infection. Additionally, morts and solids move quickly to the drains, which
helps maintain optimal water quality.

DIFFUSER MANIFOLD FOR ROUND TANKS


Putting air diffusers in a round tank upsets the rotating, self-cleaning effect that makes round tanks with
center drains so desirable. Here's a solution! This six-diffuser manifold with deflector has been designed
to induce circular flow in a round tank while adding oxygen and assisting the self-cleaning effect. It requires
4.5 cfm at 1.2 psi (34" H2 O min) and will supply approximately .12 lbs/O2 /hour. It will connect directly to 1"
PVC pipe and can be suspended over the side of tank to a depth of approximately 24" (standard length).
The manifold is supplied with a ball valve for air control, a union for complete removal and six
ALR23M diffusers.

TOTAL DISSOLVED GAS PRESSURE (TGP) METER


The Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems Point Four Tracker provides measurements
for TGP (mmHg or % saturation), ∆P, barometric pressure (mmHg) and
temperature (ºC).
Increasing water temperatures, injection of air in water, algal blooms or
pressurized pumping can result in gas supersaturation. This may lead to
bubble trauma or sub-lethal toxicological problems for aquatic species.
The TGP probe provides a rapid and accurate measurement of total dissolved
gas pressure.
The Tracker has simple calibration procedures and easy to understand menus.
The handheld meter features a tough membrane keypad and graphical display
with a user-selectable backlight. The Tracker has two pressure sensors, one
measures total dissolved gas pressure (TGP), and one measures barometric
pressure (BP). Also has datalogging capabilities. The batteries are
rechargeable and an AC adapter is included with each unit.

Supersaturation
The measurement of total dissolved gas pressure (TGP) can be required in aquaculture. When
the total pressure of all gases in the water exceeds the ambient atmospheric pressure at the
water’s surface, supersaturation exists. The effect of excessive supersaturation on fish has
been well documented and has caused massive fishkills. TGP as low as 103% can be lethal!
Supersaturation can be caused by numerous man-made and natural sources:
• Dam spillways can allow a high volume discharge to plunge air deep into the receiving water.
• Water pump inlets can suck air, putting that air under high pressure in the piping (this is all
too common, even in aquariums).
• Naturally high levels of nitrogen can be found in well water.
• Algae blooms can cause supersaturated levels of oxygen.
• Temperature changes, which affect the saturation level. Simply heating the water can cause
lethal supersaturation.

OXYGUARD® PORTABLE CO2 METER


The OxyGuard portable CO2 meter is a reliable and easy-to-use instrument
that measures dissolved carbon dioxide in water. The meter consists of
a probe and a battery-powered transmitter. The meter displays CO2
concentration and an analog signal as output. The transmitter has an on/off
switch, "slope" and "zero" adjustments. Battery charger (230V), calibration
accessories and 3-m cable are included. A version with built-in data logger
is available.
Measures the CO2 gas pressure directly and is not affected by carbonates or
other dissolved substances. It is therefore possible to achieve simple,
continuous direct measurements of carbon dioxide in water that affects fish.
Methods such as test kits, laboratory analysis and the detection of pH
changes are subject to disturbance from the dissolved substances found in
aquaculture water. The OxyGuard CO2 measures only the CO2 that affects the fish,
which is the free dissolved CO2 gas. It is reliable and accurate. Calibration
accessories pack includes beaker with stirrer and magnet; 75 g of pH
conditioner with dosing spoon; 100 mL of calibration solution with dosing
syringe; and adjustment screwdriver.

pH Probe Care & Storage


Proper handling and storage of pH electrodes will not only help to prolong the electrode’s life, but • N ever store electrodes in water; doing so will cause a sluggish response.
also will ensure fast, accurate readings. General guidelines include:
• A lways keep the tip of the pH electrode moist. Electrode storage solution is a solution of 4M
• E lectrodes should be rinsed between samples with deionized or distilled water. KCl. If unavailable, a pH 4 buffer solution will also work temporarily.
• N ever wipe an electrode dry as this can cause erroneous readings due to static charges. • In general, pH buffers only have a two-year shelf life unopened. Once opened, the shelf life
drops to 2–3 months. However, open pH 10 calibration solution only has a 30-day shelf life.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN 0 - 15.0 mg/L Nessler-based test kits test total ammonia only. They are best used when no other substances are added to the water. Water conditioners, amines
HARDNESS 10 - 4,000 mg/L and various types of medications can interfere with Nessler-based test readings, resulting in falsely high ammonia readings.
IRON 0 - 3.00 mg/L Salicylate-based test kits test for total ammonia. This is the most commonly used ammonia test in aquaculture, and will provide results in the
presence of water conditioners and various medications.
NITRATE 0 - 30.0 mg/L
Hydrophobic membrane testing uses a chemically treated membrane to detect various gases. The membrane can be treated with reagents specific to
NITRITE 0 - 0.350 mg/L un-ionized ammonia. Hydrophobic membranes can detect free ammonia even in the presence of water conditioners, amines and salts because free
ammonia exists as a gas. This is not the most commonly used test, but it is very efficient in free ammonia detection.
PHOSPHORUS 0 - 2.50 mg/L
The test kit instructions should indicate which testing method the kit purchased is using to detect ammonia levels. More and more aquarists choose
TEMPERATURE 0 to 80 ° C salicylate-based ammonia test kits due to accessibility, reliability and the ability to dose water conditioners without interference..

system need to be monitored/controlled in order to allow the facility to
operate in a stable, reliable manner.

TAILOR MADE SYSTEMS


As we work to understand the unique needs of your system and your specific
operational goals, we’ll define the monitoring and control parameters by
establishing a documented ‘Theory of Operation.’ This is a detailed set of
specifications and operational information that is defined by us and approved
by you. Once approved, the Theory of Operation is relayed to our Engineering
dept. For most solutions, we apply a layer of unique configuration and
customization to one of our existing field-proven controller platforms (ex. Point
Four™ C1210). Once we’ve outlined all the hardware and software, we’ll prepare
a detailed cost quote which is presented to you for approval. Upon approval,
our team gets to work assembling, programming and testing your tailor
made controller. All monitoring and control equipment produced in the Pentair
Aquatic Eco-Systems production facility is backed by UL508A certification for
the design and manufacturing of industrial control panels.

HEATERS 245
PTC Immersion Heaters

PTC (POSITIVE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT) IMMERSION HEATERS


SmartOne® Electric Immersion Heaters utilize Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) semiconductors as the heating element. They
are “self-limiting” - the maximum temperature is internally limited regardless of the operating conditions thereby providing built-in
safety. As the PTC elements heat up, their resistance to electrical current increases. In the aquaculture industry, a common threat to
heater life is buildup in waters with dense solids resulting in overheat conditions. Since these conditions will not cause the SmartOne®
to overheat, it will last significantly longer than a traditional heater (periodic cleaning is still recommended). The maximum output
temperature is below the ignition point of most plastic tanks so overheat damage is prevented if the element is operated in air or
becomes covered with buildup.
The EASYPLUG™ PTC heaters offer simple, easy plug-in installation; simply mount the heater, plug it into the control, and plug the
control into a wall receptacle. Stainless steel models for fresh water, titanium models for salt water. Controls sold separately.
One-year warranty.

Resistance Immersion Heaters

RESISTANCE IMMERSION HEATERS


The EASYPLUG™ Resistance Immersion heaters offer simple, easy plug-in installation for aquaculture applications. To install, simply
mount the heater, plug it into the control, and plug the control into a wall receptacle. Heaters come standard with the Protector 1
over-temperature control system which utilizes a heat sensitive thermal protector to detect overheat conditions. The thermal protector,
placed inside a thermowell and positioned in contact with the heater sheath, will stop power to the heater in the event of low liquid level.
Heaters and controls are UL-listed and CE-certified, and work with both 50/60Hz.
The Heavy-Duty Resistance Immersion heaters can handle almost any immersion water heater need and are perfect for automatic “set
it and leave it” applications. Choose type 316 stainless steel for freshwater applications and titanium for salt water. Titanium offers the
utmost in salt water corrosion resistance. The bottom heaters locate the hot zone along the bottom of your tank. The over the side
heaters are easily positioned on the side of the tank. Never allow the water level to drop below the hot zone dimension shown, as heater
failure and/or fire could occur (also, keep the hot zone clean of scale buildup).
Protector 1 is available on all models. Controls sold separately. One-year warranty.

REPLACEMENT HEATER THERMAL PROTECTORS


Protector 1 is standard on all heaters, including EasyPlug™. It consists of a temperature sensitive protector installed in the heater
which will shut down electricity (usually from low water level) to the heater element. Once activated, the protector must be replaced to
restore power to the heater, so keep a spare one on hand.
Protector 2 is an upgraded safety option that includes an audible alarm and manual reset button. During periods of high heater
temperature or low water levels, an alarm will sound and electricity to the heater will be disconnected. The manual reset button will
deactivate the alarm and reconnect electricity to the heater. Repeated alarm conditions may eventually cause the protector to fail,
which will disconnect power. Restoring power will require a replacement protector. Both the control and heater need to be ordered with

Heat/Cool Pumps

HEAT/COOL PUMPS FW SW
Titan Air Cooled Heat Pumps by Aqua Logic® are designed for a wide range
of applications such as a public aquarium, aquaculture facility, government
or university research institution or hydroponics operation. All units are
suitable for outdoor installation (but should be protected from direct weather).
Heat pumps up to 5hp have a special ”Spine Fin” condenser coil which has
proven to have superior heat transfer performance and capacity over traditional
radially finned heat exchangers. This style condenser also has a much greater
resistance to corrosion in harsh environments such as moist salty air or
chemically tainted rainwater.
In the cooling mode, the heat pump works as a chiller, cooling water to the
temperature you select. In the heating mode, the heat pump works with the
liquid refrigerant (Freon) flow in reverse. Freon absorbs heat from the air as it
moves thru the condenser. As it heats, the Freon becomes a gas, which is then
compressed by the compressor. The heat carried by the Freon is then released
into the titanium heat exchanger and transferred into the circulated water.
These models feature titanium helix coils and powder-coated shrouds. 2” PVC
slip, in and out fittings on 2–10 hp; 3” PVC slip on larger units. 230V models
listed; 460V also available. Dual stage digital temperature controller is enclosed
in a NEMA4X enclosure with easy 3 push button programming and will maintain
water temperatures in the range from 40°-85°F (4 to 29°C); you must specify 11/2–5 HP Models
desired temperature operating range when ordering. Units will lose heating 71/2 & 10 HP Models
efficiently when air temperature is under 40°F (4°C). Note min/max flow
requirements (water pump not included). The controller can display in either
°F or °C and will maintain the water within 1 degree of the set point.
Water pressure should not exceed 40 psi. Allow a 4-week build time. Ship from
factory via motor freight. One-year limited warranty.

® ®

titanium evaporator coils for maximum cooling efficiency. Titanium is safe for
all aquatic animals in fresh or salt water systems. The low profile design allows
for easy placement in tight places and the quiet, internal, spring-mounted
hermetic motor/compressor provides years of reliable service.
All chillers come standard with a black ABS cover and digital electronic
controller mounted on a 4’ cable, remote from the chiller unit. It displays the
current temperature, set point temperature, and has a 1° differential, in either
Fahrenheit or Celsius. A direct immersion titanium sensor probe with a 6’
cable is included with the controller. Delta Star ® chillers are intended for use
indoors or, if located outdoors, they must be installed in an enclosure protected
from the direct weather in ambient air temperatures between 55°–90°F.
If exposed to air temperatures outside of this range then optional ambient air
control packages must be factory installed during the manufacturing of the
AE4 chiller. All chillers require unrestricted air flow thru the condenser and thus
must be located in a well-ventilated area. Maximum water pressure for all
chillers is 20 psi. Units listed are compatible with 60 Hz current only. AE3 thru
AE7 are charged with 134A CFC refrigerant, and AE8 is charged with R-417
refrigerant. Allow 2 weeks for delivery. Prices are FOB CA.

SECLEAR ALGAECIDE
AND WATER QUALITY ENHANCER®
SeClear is the first aquatic algaecide and water quality enhancer in one
designed to replace routine algaecide treatments. SeClear provides effective
control of a broad-range of algae species while reducing in-water phosphorus
levels with each application.
The result is longer lasting control, improved water quality and aesthetics
with reduced maintenance through time. The mode of action for SeClear is
uptake through the algal cells where the copper ion inhibits photosynthesis
providing a fast-acting result.

CAPTAIN® LIQUID COPPER ALGAECIDE


Captain is a chelated copper product that is effective on both filamentous and
planktonic algae in a wide range of fresh water applications. Algae control
occurs in 3 to 7 days following a Captain application and there are no
restrictions on treated water, even immediately after use for swimming,
fishing, watering livestock, irrigating turf or ornamental plants.
The mode of action for Captain is uptake through the algal cells where the
copper ion inhibits photosynthesis providing a fast-acting result. Algae is an
aquatic plant that can grow anywhere moisture, light and nutrients combine
to support growth. You certainly can't control how wet your pond is; and
there's not much you can do about how much sunlight hits the water. You can,
however, avoid fertilizing near the pond or anywhere rainwater runoff may
enter the water.

SPC 2L herbicide is used to control aquatic weeds in public waters such as
ponds, lakes, reservoirs, marshes, bayous, drainage ditches, canals, streams,
rivers, and other slow moving or quiescent bodies of water. Optimum control of
submersed weeds is obtained by applying Diquat SPC 2L herbicide when the
weeds are actively growing (photosynthesizing), typically when water
temperatures are about 50°F or more. With Diquat SPC 2L herbicide, there are
no concerns about groundwater, toxicity to fish, other organisms or wildlife.

photochemically with sunlight; and activating humic acids to produce hydrogen
peroxide-an oxidizing agent that also helps to keep the water clear-naturally and
at a low level of release. The humic acid will also chelate metals such as copper

PONDZILLA BLACK
PondZilla Black is an all-natural biochemical catalyst that enhances the breakdown of proteins and
complex carbohydrates found in aquatic plants. PondZilla Black releases specific biostimulants that allow
the naturally-occurring bacteria and fungi to take over degradation of the dead flora and fixation of
available nutrients. This product is designed specifically to complement algaecide treatments for aquatic
plants and filamentous green algae like Pithophora. Although these products do not kill aquatic plants or
algae, the molecular make up of PondZilla Black will boost algaecides so they can penetrate the resting
structures while it enables naturally-occurring bacteria to degrade dead organic matter. This treatment is
followed up with a dose of MD Pellets to digest what is left. Applications include ponds, lakes, canals,
retention and koi ponds, hatcheries, raceways, and golf course ponds.
PondZilla Black works over a wide pH range, but for best results use citric acid or a low-pH surfactant to
adjust tank mix to a pH of 4 to 6:
Monster Dose: 15 gallons per acre
Regular Dose: 3 gallons per acre initially and 1-3 gallons per month thereafter
Pollen Dose: 2 gallons per acre sprayed on the surface
Leaf Degradation: 1-3 gallons per acre per month followed by 10 lbs of MD Pellets

MD PELLETS
MD Pellets are slow-release pellets that sink into and degrade muck that builds up in the bottom of fish
ponds. This product is a nice alternative to physical cleaning of the ponds. They contain safe and beneficial
bacteria, which will not harm aquatic species, fish, waterfowl, or people. This product will also reduce
sulfide and mercaptan odors found in muck. Applications include lakes, decorative ponds, retention ponds,
shorelines, aquaculture, and golf courses.
MD Pellets work best when water temperature is 60° F (17°C) to 130°F (54°C). The warmer it is the faster
they reproduce and digest sludge:
Traditional Dose: Feed 10 lb to 25 lb per surface-acre once per month depending on depth of muck or
extent of surface debris.
Super Dose: For ponds or lakes where they would like to degrade up to 1 foot per month. Feed 50 lb per
acre once per month.

aquaculture environments with high fish density, VitaStim Fishery Blend will also work to stabilize healthy
bacterial populations. This blend also works well in saline environments.
VitaStim Fishery Blend works in a wide range of temperatures from 41° on up and while these organisms

limits bacteria growth and are able to coat the entire water body. This makes Water Column Clarifier an
especially good treatment for planktonic algae when combined with a low dose chelated copper algaecide.
Applications include decorative ponds, large ponds and lakes.
Works best when temperature of water is 60°F (15.6°C) or higher:

Control and Monitoring System
The VAKI Smart Flow System gathers and stores information about all
measured fish for easy analysis of size and number. This facilitates the
optimization of every operation as the various devices can be controlled
and fine-tuned electronically in order to result in the desired output.

Integrates to all main VAKI products


• Easy control during the process, resulting in more precise and desired output
• All counting data are automatically saved
• Provides instant access for others within the company to view the data at
any time

How it works
All devices can be controlled and fine-tuned electronically "on the fly",
resulting in more precise output.

Pump speed adjustment


The counter measures the speed of flow and sends the information to the
pump in order to regulate the pumping speed.
All devices can be controlled and fine-tuned electronically, resulting in more precise and desired output.
Automatic feedback control
The feedback loop between the counter and grader can relieve the user
from having to monitor the grading process manually.

Online database/local server


Stores all data from the measurements.

Regulating density control


The counter sends the density control information on the measured fish.

Counting report
The automatic counting report can be supplied to the receiver of fish along
with the counting file containing the images of all the fish.

Controlled "on the fly"


By integrating a feedback loop between the grader and the counter, both opening
and rotation settings of the grader can be adjusted to reach the optimal quantity
of fish in each category.
Easy access and sharing of valuable information.
As an example, if an equal biomass distribution is preferred between
all categories, the counter will adjust the grader so that the category
with e.g. small fish receives the largest number of fish to adjust for
the relative weight difference of each individual fish.

STOCK CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT 291
Biomass Control

Biomass Control is considered a serious challenge in fish farming


Now, why is it a challenge? Everybody can agree that poor biomass control can lead to unnecessary
negative environmental impact. But also important is the challenge of getting the most out of production.

How to achieve maximum yield with minimum cost?


In order to achieve maximum yield at minimum cost, higher industrialisation of the farming process is
required. Tight monitoring and control of factors, that can be controlled, is also important. We need to
collect as much data as possible and go into as much detail as possible monitoring exact weights and
numbers all the way from hatching to harvest.

Smolt delivery
One of the most critical points in production from a Biomass Control perspective is the smolt delivery.
The number and weight of smolts introduced into each cage is absolutely critical because it represents
the starting point in an ongoing production.

Accuracy needed
The ongoing part of the production is also very challenging for biomass control.
Taking a manual sample of 100 fish from a cage is both physically challenging for the fish and the fish
farmer and it is just not accurate nor reliable enough. When the information about the Biomass in
individual cages is not available or inaccurate, growth cannot be monitored and feeding cannot be
controlled, which hinders the effort to obtain the lowest feed conversion rate (FCR) possible. Low FCR is
of course one of the most important indicators of low production cost.
Therefore, monitoring the FCR based on real growth is essential if one wants to control the feeding.
Monitoring the periodic FCR based on real growth is also essential if you want to analyse high FCR
periods and takes some actions or implement improvements before the next production period.

Biomass control helps industralize salmon farming further


The only way to monitor and improve FCR is to measure real growth continuously and accurately.
Biomass Daily can be used to monitor the biomass from hatching to harvest. Biomass control is one of
the biggest challenges in salmon farming. Biomass control is also one of the biggest opportunities in
salmon farming as a part of increased “industrialization” of the fish farming process which needs to take
place in order to meet future challenges.

Grading Fish
Commercial aquaculture requires periodic size grading of most species to prevent cannibalism, Graders can be species specific. Selecting the wrong grader type for your species and fish size can
reduce growth rate variation and improve yield. When fish are not graded it is common to have a make the grading process inefficient and/or damage the fish, so ask others for their experience

and consuming more food.

Efficient management requires knowledge of growth rates, stocking densities, feed requirements
and general health—all of which can be learned through grading and counting.

KOI SPAWNING BRUSHES KOI


Made from a soft nylon that will not harm fish, these brushes are commonly
used in koi ponds to encourage fish to spawn. Simply place the brushes just
below the water level, one on top of the other, at the edge of your pond.
The internal SS wire allows them to be shaped to your needs. As the fish
spawn on the brushes, the eggs will attach to the soft bristles. The brushes
can then be placed in clean filtered water and eggs will hatch in 3–6 days.
Brushes are sold 2 per pack.

POND FILTER BRUSHES


Used in the ornamental pond industry for particulate filtration, biofiltration and
even as substrate for egg laying. The plastic bristles are attached to the stainless
steel wire core, creating a 4" diameter brush with a 7/8" diameter wire loop at
one end for hanging. A brush filter media is desirable because it is easy to clean
and the plastic bristles attract solids. The other end is capped with a plastic
knob for safety. Used in filtration systems in fish farms, hatcheries, public
aquaria, domestic fish ponds and research institutes. They last indefinitely
and are the easiest to use, most efficient and most cost-effective pond filter

Vibratory Feeders

VIBRATORY FEEDERS
Benefit from highly accurate feeding rates and times with these vibratory
feeders from Pentair AES. They easily handle almost all different feed
types (even extremely fine and moist feeds) and they are resistant to
clogging from even the oiliest feeds. Perfect for applications where
multiple accurate feedings per day would otherwise require a lot of
manpower, such as in a hatchery.
For each feeder, use a 12VDC adapter such as the SF50 for 115VAC
operation. You will also need a timer. We suggest either SF44 for 115V,
SF41 for 12V. One timer can be used for up to 13 feeders (all connected
feeders will feed at once). One-year warranty.

Hand vs Automatic Feeding
Hand or automatic feeding … which is better?
Automatic feeders save time. All business people know – time is money. Most fish farmers are in
short supply of both. The manual labor involved in feeding your fish every day by hand may seem
small, but over the period of a year, can easily equate to thousands of dollars in man-hours.
For example, an operation with 10 tanks, feeding 3 times a day for 3 minutes per tank, at $12 an

Fish Food
The cost of fish food can represent 30 to 90% of the total cost of raising fish! In some situations
(like indoor culture), feed must provide 100% of the complex nutritional requirements fish need.
A less-than-complete diet will show up as poor feeding response, slow growth and/or disease
problems. Poor water quality can also be caused by bad feed.
HK35 All feed should be used within the normal 6-month shelf life. Do not overfeed. In general, give
fish a little less than they will eat (stop feeding them before they stop feeding).

DENSE CULTURE FOOD


Tanks • Raceways • Cages
We offer four styles of dense culture food. Each one contains fishmeal, poultry meal, blood meal and
fish oil. Each can be fed to a wide variety of fish including catfish, tilapia, trout, salmon, hybrid striped bass
and other cold and warmwater species.
F2A is a 50% protein sinking feed, an excellent starter feed for juveniles. F2C is a 41% protein, 3/16"
floating pellet that works well for sub-adult fish in tanks or ponds. F2E is the same formulation as F2C
but is a 9/32" floating pellet. F2G is a 3/16" floating pellet with 36% protein and a better choice for pond fish and
larger tilapia.
All of the dense culture foods are made by the extrusion method. The extrusion method improves
digestibility with less protein degradation. Ascorbic acid (a stabilized form of vitamin C) is added to all.
Keep in mind that pellet sizes can vary by as much as 1/16". If you are unsure of the right size, order
smaller rather than larger. Contains oxygen-absorbing packet to maximize freshness.

Rotifer Culture, High-Density vs Batch Methods


Rotifers are typically fed live algae and grown either in ponds or tanks when used as a commercial EQUIPMENT COST TO RAISE 100 MILLION ROTIFERS PER DAY
scale larval diet. A farm with the space and water available to use traditional pond rearing methods
BATCH METHOD HIGH-DENSITY METHOD
should keep doing so. A farm using live algae to grow rotifers in tanks should consider an alternative.
Traditional batch culture requires the grower to have both live algae tanks and rotifer rearing tanks. Density of rotifers 500 per ml 2,000 per ml
The table compares the batch method to a new, high-density method that substitutes algae paste for
live algae. Tank size 100 Liters 100 Liters

The batch method requires a much higher investment in equipment and space. The high density Algae requirement per tank 75 liters fresh algae 2.5 liters algae paste
method only requires rotifer tanks and their filtration systems. Water is another cost of growing Total rotifers per tank 50 million 200 million
rotifers. Generally speaking, the batch culture method uses 75 percent exchange per day. The high
density method, using algae paste, requires about 20 percent exchange of water per day. Another cost Tanks needed for 1 week feed 10-14 tanks 1-2 tanks
factor is labor. Batch culture requires two full-time live feed technicians, while the high density Estimated equipment cost $12,000 $3,000
method only requires one part-time technician.
High density rotifer culture systems can clearly reduce costs. However, these systems require a
transition time and there is a learning curve. You will need a technician who is willing to learn the
system and how to predict its production. Since more rotifers are being grown in one tank, it is best
to have a backup system running at a lower production rate as insurance should a system fail.

ROTIFER PRODUCTION SYSTEMS DESIGNED HERE


High-density systems
Our intensive rotifer production systems are designed for high-volume
production. These systems will save you a lot of money, space and work.
Production densities exceed 5,000 rotifers per milliliter of Brachionus plicatilis.
B. rotundiformis are also suitable for this system. Systems are complete,
including culture tank, filtration system, pure oxygen diffuser and ammonia
neutralizer dosing system. Since these systems use Instant Algae® marine
paste, they eliminate the need for labor-intensive algae production. Only 30
minutes of tank maintenance per day is required to produce 100 million to 2.5
billion rotifers per day. Systems also include an operations manual and
ClorAm-X® water conditioner.

Bulkhead Buying Key Flange Side (E)


Follow this key carefully to get the right bulkhead. Note that “F” is on the flange side
and “L” is length between the gasket and the nut when the nut is at the maximum
distance. The “size” of a bulkhead refers to the plumbing connections, the “F” or “B” Gasket
dimension. The size of the hole needed is the “D” dimension. Do not use these
threads for plumbing connections. All of our bulkheads come with one gasket. For
most applications only one gasket is needed, located on the flange side, whether or
not the flange side is on the water side Nut

PLASTIC MESH
High-quality, extruded plastic netting is offered in both square and diamond
configurations for a wide variety of aquaculture applications. Made from
a pliable, yet durable semirigid polyethylene that is great for outdoor use.
All screening is nontoxic.
This netting is characterized by a smooth surface and heavy-duty construction.
The surface minimizes algae growth, making cleaning easier and less
frequent. The products are made with more weight than many competitive
netting products, providing for greater durability and longer life. And the
material is produced to high quality standards for consistency, uniformity
and flatness—making fabrication into cages, traps and trays all the easier.

Getting Started in Aquaculture


How Do I Get into the Aquaculture Business?
By coming up with a business plan that can't fail and having a lot of money, skill, patience and
energy. As you know, most new businesses don't make it. Aquaculture businesses are especially
difficult because of the slim margins, burdensome government regulations, lengthy start-up
time, live animal constraints, diseases, power outages, unreliable vendors and fluctuating
market prices.
A beginner in aquaculture must first learn as much as possible about the needs of the species
to be cultured. Use books, videos, publications, extension agents, schools and especially other
people in the same business. Only if you think of a way to make a lot of money should you go to
the next step, which is doing a detailed business plan. After you have included everything you
can think of, have the plan carefully scrutinized by a minimum of three businessmen who are Various species can be grown for profit.
knowledgeable in that type of business. Do not dismiss their objections!
Here are some things to address in your business plan specific to aquaculture:
• L ack of funding is the number one cause of business failure. This applies
to aquaculture.
• T ime and expense to meet government regulations before even beginning.
• S ite selection. Don't try to make a bad location work.
• Include cost for crop insurance, if available.
• C onsider starting small, even at the hobby level, to learn all husbandry aspects, growth rates,
costs, etc., and to get a feel for marketing.
• C onsider niche businesses that do not sell product at commodity prices but rather specialty
or value-added products at higher prices.
If you do come up with a plan that shows the business can be highly profitable, you can only
proceed if you will have enough money to operate the business with zero income until after the
first successful crop has been sold and paid for … and that could be a long time.
This is not a pessimistic view of the aquaculture business but rather a realistic one. Don't become
a statistic; only start a for-profit business if your business plan is rock solid and you really love An example of a small commercial hatchery.

KOI SOCK NETS KOI


Sock nets are a "must have" net for koi keepers. We have both the net
and water-holding socks. Each has an aluminum frame and wooden
handle. The KS45 has a very fine mesh that will allow water to pass through.
The KS44 is a much tighter weave, very soft and will not pass water quickly
(not watertight). After netting the fish, pinch the mesh end closed and the
fish are held within a sock of water, which is much easier on them.

TECH TALK 16

Fish Metabolism
We refer to fish as being “cold blooded”, that doesn’t mean they don’t give off heat. There is
‘heat of metabolism’, or heat that is generated as fish metabolize feed in a system. It works
as follows:
• 1 00 pounds of fish fed @ 5 percent of weight per day.
• 5 pounds of feed x 700 kcal/lb feed = 3,500 kcal/day.
• 3 ,500 kcal/day = heat that would raise a 400-gallon culture tank’s temperature (perfectly
insulated) 2–3°C.
This explains how fish metabolism, together with pumps, lights, etc., is responsible for raising
the temperature.

FISH TAGGING GUN AND FISH TAGS


Fish tags are one of the best ways to identify individual fish. They can be
used to distinguish male fish from females and broods from the rest of the
stock. They can mark genetic strains and individual fish for research and
growth studies. We offer the popular T-bar anchor tags in both flag and
number styles. They're easy to insert, cause minimal stress and can remain
in the fish for years. The flag tag is 21/2" long with a 3/16" x 3/8" flag (no labeling TG
possible). The number style is international orange with black numbers.
The tagging gun, which is compatible with both tag styles, uses a needle to
insert the tags to a depth of 5/8".

Predator barrier
Predator control can be a significant problem for outdoor fish farmers. After
years of experimenting for long term solutions, the industry has determined
only a physical barrier can guarantee that predators are kept out. That is
why we offer this animal barrier netting.
Lightweight, black plastic netting is easily supported by plastic wire, forming
a low-cost bird and small animal barrier (the larger the mesh, the lower the 1/2” X 1/2” MESH
wind load). UV-resistant to last at least four years in the tropics.

EPOXY PAINT KITS


Epoxy paint is recognized by the EPA as nontoxic (after curing), is extremely durable and has excellent
adhesion to a wide variety of materials. Whether coating fiberglass, wood, steel, concrete or even
galvanized surfaces, you won’t find a better paint for aquaculture.
Simply clean and dry the surface (acid-etch concrete and steel, then use nonsudsing ammonia to
neutralize acid residue and use PT20 concrete primer; prime steel and galvanized surfaces). Then mix
epoxy paint parts A and B, wait 30–60 minutes and spray, brush or roll on. Recoat after about four hours,
if desired. The curing temperature range is 55–125°F. Before adding live organisms, let cure for 7 days.
Excellent for drinking water, ozone contact, fresh and saltwater aquaculture, etc.
Kit will cover 260–288 ft2 of smooth surface with a thickness of 4 mil (0.004 inch). This epoxy is 65 to 72%
solids (depending on color) and has a two-year shelf life (after long exposure to UV, it typically develops a
chalky surface). Sold in 120-oz kits only (a kit is 4 parts paint and 1 part activator) in the following colors:

and high pressure sodium lighting in aquaponics. Induction lighting offers
many benefits to crop production including a broad spectrum, greater canopy
penetration and lower operating temperatures.
• Consumes up to 70% less power than traditional HID lamps
• One lamp from vegetative thru flowering reduces plant stress
• PAR rated spectrums: 90% UV – 95% Carotenoid – 80% R/FR/IR
• 98% specular reflectance for greater canopy penetration
• Low operating temperatures reduce cooling costs
• Longer lamp life (100,000 hour rated)
• 10 year lamp and driver warranty

40W PONTOON ACCESSORY 420W GROW LIGHT


Designed to work as an enhancement accessory to the induction lamps’ broad
spectrum phosphor blend. They are a low wattage addition to our induction
lamps’ spectrums and should be considered when the gardener is seeking
optimized quality, yield and reduced time to harvest.
• Flowering enhancement accessory
• Comes fully assembled No Tools Required for Easy Installation

officials or political party candidates in a position to influence the Buyer’s commercial
relationship with the Seller. (5) Accurate Books and Records. The Buyer will maintain

likely to occur; or (b) if any conflicts of interest arise after the signing of this Agreement,

to time, provide to the Seller a written certification in form and substance satisfactory
to the Seller that the Buyer is in compliance with this Section. (8) No Payments for

CHECK OUT PAES W.A.T.E.R. LIVE EVENTS AT PAESWATER.COM


An additional highlight of PAESWATER.com includes the
ability to access live streaming cameras with views of fish in
the multiple systems. The video connectivity component will
also be host to future live events and educational
demonstrations. With research and education as the focus of
this facility, the website will also provide visitors real-time
information from the monitoring systems, including Dissolved
Oxygen, ORP, Conductivity, pH and Temperature statistics.
In the past year we experienced the first fish harvest at PAES
W.A.T.E.R. and streamed it live on our website! A team of
Pentair employees worked diligently to ensure complete
success on this project. In total, 10,564 lbs. of tilapia were
transferred from Pentair’s indoor Recirculating Aquaculture
System (RAS) to tanks on the live fish hauling truck. When the
truck arrived, the first hour was spent loading clean water
into the hauling tanks to ensure the fish had a healthy
environment while being transported.
Fish were harvested from the tanks with seafood baskets and
transferred to the truck in tanks of water, important in
maintaining product quality, keeping them calm to reduce
damage and loss of scales on themselves or other fish being
transferred. This cohort of fish, the first grow-out from the
PAES W.A.T.E.R. facility, was grown for 242 days from
fingerlings of 0.73 grams to approximately 682 grams (1.5
pounds) each. They were then held on a maintenance diet – a
technique where fish are fed an amount which keeps them
healthy but does not encourage growth. The survival rate of
this cohort was much higher than anticipated. Initial planning,
purchasing, and stocking numbers anticipated a ten percent
mortality rate during the overall growout period; our mortality
rate, however, was just over one percent.
This sort of activity is exactly what we want people to
experience on PAESWATER.com or in person at one of our
many training courses held throughout the year. Training and
education are important focal points for Pentair AES at PAES
W.A.T.E.R. In the past year we have held multiple workshops,
both English and Spanish-language, at the facility. It is perfect
for live demonstration of equipment and techniques, as well
as providing hands-on experience in RAS operations and
systems management in extended sessions.
