The bacteria we're fighting within the sump thrive best when their oxygen supply is gone. When the machine is shut down for the night, the pump stops circulating coolant, traces of tramp oil float to the surface, and the oxygen supply to the fluid is cut off. This is the best time for bacteria to grow.
Your coolant's health is dependent upon whether it can "breathe". Using an aeration device when the machine pump is shut down is a simple, yet very effective method of keeping bacteria at bay and your coolant healthy.
The Oxygenator is inexpensive and similar to aquarium pumps, but uses oil-rated tubing and diffusers that will not degrade in our coolant environment.
For sumps or tanks above 100 gallon, use the Zebra Circulation Pump or the airpowered Oxygenator. |

"Oxygenators are working great. My sumps are over two months old now and before they lasted only a couple of weeks!" Steve Dengler, Tool & Die Supervisor, Prison Industry Authority, Avenal, CA, Oct 2001 |
