A powerful new high-efficiency aerator, designed to provide maximum aeration while using only a fraction of the energy required by other models, has been introduced by Airmaster Aerator of DeRidder, La. The 50-hp Turbo X-Treme Magnum is a high-efficiency, floating/surface aerator that can pump 12.5 mgd. Powered by an energy-saving 50-hp motor, it incorporates a “turbo” blower and a double-sided impeller to achieve high-capacity water movement—with maximum aeration and mixing. Due to its efficient design and operation, it has replaced aerators requiring up to three times the horsepower, resulting in substantial energy savings to the user.
