Thanks for going to the trouble of making and publishing this video, and for doing it in English, its much appreciated!

[@aquatechnobel]

thanks for your comment

[@tonyjones9460]

Thanks for taking the time to put this up in English. I've built a mini version for my small outdoor aquarium. Just tweaking it to get more flow into my overhead sump whilst keeping it as quiet as I can. Was looking for a cheap to run pump that would also massively oxygenate the water for my goldfish. Thanks again gentlemen.

This is the ultimate Airlift pump tutorial! I am excited to use this on my next pond. Cheers!

great to see and hear this in English...

Great video! I've made one with a 120L per minute pump, getting about 15000L/h. Would I get a better result if I split the air into 2 separate airlift pumps a 60L each, or even 3 a 40L each? Thank you

[@robervine7721]

My one improvement to this - leave 1/2 the diameter of the riser tube (2” or 50mm) at the bottom end. Here you cut 3-4 half circles out so that the riser sits firmly on the bottom of the pond and still “sucks” water!

[@AlanWilliams72]

I noticed the pipe being used is the grey pvc pipe. In the states, the most common pvc pipe is white. Only electrical conduit and/or schedule 80 PVC is grey. Is this different in the EU?

[@michaelvanolphen8949]

Hello guys, great video and your English is perfectly understandable 😄. I’ve tried to find the link for the pdf hole download but am struggling. Please will you provide a direct link. Many thanks, Michael

[@SAN-vx7vd]

Thanx for nice share. Kindly calso give directions if we want to lift water 5 feet high thanx

[@ryantait177]

Thank you

[@vianbaemo2057]

thanks you very much. i like this may be i want to try create..

[@larrypardi9143]

Actually very easy to understand. I'm going to try this, where can I get the print out to drill the air holes. I've been to the Dutch site so this was very good. Thank you.

[@aquatechnobel]

+Larry Pardi I have a prob with this paper ! take a graph paper and make 4 rows of holes Offbeat of one row each verry ease to do and set him on the pipe and dril the 1mm holes

[@larrypardi9143]

+Aquatechnobel Thanks again, I was able to make this sheet very easily.

[@aquatechnobel]

+Larry Pardi yes I think the same, to build 7 airlift and at the same time make the video in two languages, 2h works, ease to build, ease to use, lot of flow and low consumption, another tip is to use at the outlet of the airlift small as possible length of pipe to return to the pond ! let me now your results

[@738rh]

What is the spacing of the gaps between the 1mm holes? Horizontal and vertical spacing please. Thx

[@trankimkhanh4050]

Thanks you.

[@thefarmingartists4538]

I am considering using an airlift in my aquaponics tank. My problem with your design is that my tank is much shallower (about 4' or 122 cm). Will this work if I make the 4" pipe 40" long?

[@kathyanne3587]

Thank you. That was very well done. I was wondering though if you could show how the air pump connects, as that fitting does not look like the house that comes off of my air pump. And could we get the link for the hole template. Thank you

[@larrypardi9143]

+Kathy Desjardins the template is pretty easy to make without the link. If you have graph paper or access to a spread sheet application. Create four columns and put a single capital 'X" on each row and alternate the X in the next column, then print it out and tape it to the 4 inch pipe and drill.

[@aquatechnobel]

+Larry Pardi that's it

[@srujanreddy5442]

Larry Pardi Can you please post a pic of the grap you made, that way it will be easier to understand for me.

[@johnhildebrand8740]

Thank you gentlemen! Great design. Do you think that the pressure chamber design is more effective than an air stone? If so why. I am very interested. Do you have a schematic on your website on this design?. Why is it important to have the air vent “T” in the outflow line? Lot’s of question. :)

[@TheShakeWels]

Is there any problems with back pressure? My air pump will sit 2 ft higher than outlet of airlift

[@TonyV_in_the_OC]

merci d'avoir fait cette vidéo en anglais. Où puis-je trouver le modèle pour les trous de la chambre?

[@Mr102829]

Great and good solution for save energy. How work the airlift in the hard winter ? I live in New York, EEUU the temperature some time is 0 grade F or -12 C. THANKS

[@aquatechnobel]

no problem in Belgium my country it is the same, this winter -15°C and all works very well

[@volkerwerth9888]

Hi, thanks for the great video. Question: i currently run my system on pool pump,- all tubing on 50mm (inlet and outlet to filters and bubble bead filter . I REALLY want to move to the airlift system. Can I use this sytem with a reducer to keep my filters? (ie: from 110 mm to 50mm). Will the flow rate be too negatively impacted? appreciate any advice....

[@aquatechnobel]

no no way to do this !!!!

[@williherberich5483]

Hello, the Airlift also works with a DIN125 or DIN160 for more capacity?

[@aquatechnobel]

yes it is possible but in this case you need more air flow

[@lemholxxx]

Great teaching but never found the hole drill pattern link...

[@LsFarmar]

what is better airlift or pump for small pond ? ( water l/h , elecricity euros / year )

[@aquatechnobel]

AIR LIFT

[@you-tubejunkie2926]

VERY NICE .....

[@aquatechnobel]

thanks

[@alexgil8134]

performence? et consommation?

[@samlee443]

60 liter per minute??

[@aquatechnobel]

you can start at 20l/min I use 60l/min air pump

[@joblo497]

Music for the reducer cutting please?

[@noerods]

Good, but why to use this airlift pump if you can move water just connecting with a tube, the difference of level is very low (if exist) , no need a pump at all

[@vanessalopes2597]

+Aquatechobel Congratulations! Do you kow if it works for 3m high ? and how much is the flow and the power that should I have for the airpump? Do you know if improve the flow if I reduce the diameter ? Thank you Very Much

[@aquatechnobel]

no way for 3m hight it work only in gravity !

[@anni482]

Good video but no lift in water ... both water levels are same... where the lift

[@usmcn]

You don't need lift, just circulation

[@googaajjj6099]

can i drill the vacuum chamber as small ass 0.3 mm?

[@aquatechnobel]

yes you can do, but it change the result in the bad way for the flow

[@shuvooo]

what is the purpose of those small holes inside compressor?

[@aquatechnobel]

TO MAKE BUBBLES INSIDE THE TUBE

[@alsalam3039]

@@aquatechnobel is the air being pushed in the tiny tube or is it providing suction? Thank you
