Product Overview
The DB-36 High-Efficiency Diffuser is a premium, fine-bubble diffuser designed for pond and lake aeration systems where performance, durability, and long service life matter. Manufactured in the USA, it is engineered to deliver high oxygen transfer efficiency while maintaining low backpressure, helping aeration compressors operate more efficiently over time.
Fine-Bubble Diffuser Technology
This diffuser uses high-quality, industry-proven fine-bubble diffuser tubing based on Aero-Tube® technology rather than standard membrane disc diffusers. The tubing produces uniform micro-bubbles along its full length, improving oxygen transfer while reducing the risk of clogging, hardening, or performance loss commonly associated with traditional membrane styles. This makes the DB-36 well suited for continuous-duty aeration in real-world pond and lake environments.
Durable Construction
The DB-36 is built with a self-weighted stainless steel base and stainless hardware to ensure long-term corrosion resistance and stable placement on the pond or lake bottom. Domestic manufacturing standards and material selection help ensure consistent quality, reliable performance, and long-term support.
System Compatibility
The DB-36 is compatible with most pond and lake aeration systems using compressors capable of delivering approximately 1 CFM or more. It can be used in a wide range of depth profiles and is suitable for both residential and commercial aeration installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this diffuser compatible with my aeration system?
A: The DB-36 High-Efficiency Diffuser is compatible with most pond and lake aeration systems using compressors capable of delivering approximately 1 CFM or more. It is suitable for both residential and commercial aeration applications across a wide range of pond depths.
Q: How long does the diffuser tubing last?
A: The fine-bubble diffuser tubing used in the DB-36 is designed for long service life in continuous-duty aeration systems. When properly installed and operated, it provides consistent performance for many years with minimal maintenance.
Q: What size diffuser should I choose for my pond or lake?
A: The DB-36 is ideal for medium-to-large ponds and lakes where higher airflow and efficient oxygen transfer are required. For smaller systems or lower airflow applications, SB-series diffusers may be a better fit.
Q: What is included with the diffuser?
A: The DB-36 diffuser includes the stainless steel diffuser base, fine-bubble diffuser tubing, stainless steel mounting hardware, an integrated check valve, and a 3/8″ hose barb. A 1/2″ hose barb is also included for flexible system integration. The DB-36 can be adapted to larger hose by purchasing a 1/2" NPT Male fitting with a barb appropriate for your selected tubing.
