Hi,
I work for Nitto Kohki who manufacture the MEDO brand diaphragm-less LA air blower and am legitimately interested in peoples thoughts on air blowers.
I have been supplying air blowers into the Irish market for many years and believe that the LA blowers offer a clear advantage in terms of lifetime, but want to know the serious thoughts of others.
In my opinion, the most important factor is where your air blower is located; I strongly advise keeping the air blower above ground in a well ventilated box, away from the aeration chamber.
If you have concerns, check the blowers air filter. if its caked in a thick greasy substance react - clean or replace the filter yearly or as is required! This grease comes from your homes clothes washing powders and will do the blower no good.
The other, more obvious factor is to ensure your blower does not become submerged in wet or flood prone areas. If it does it must be removed and dried before corrosion starts.
Finally, de-sludge your system every year or two and if unsure of the state of the diffuser, fit a pressure gauge to the air line. Commonly the pressure should be no greater than 200mbar (3psi). |
