10 way plastic airline manifold for splitting one 8mm air supply into ten separate 4mm airline feeds.
This 10 Way Plastic Airline Manifold makes it easy to distribute air from a single larger air pump or compressor across multiple air stones, air curtains or other aeration points.
The manifold has one 8mm inlet and ten 4mm outlets, allowing a larger incoming airline to be divided into ten individual feeds. It is a simple way to build an organised multi-point aeration system without requiring a separate pump outlet for every air stone.
Particularly useful for hydroponic reservoirs and multi-pot systems, the manifold can also be used to distribute nutrient solution in suitable NFT installations.
Why use a 10 Way Airline Manifold?
- Ten separate outlets – distribute one air supply across up to ten individual airline runs.
- 8mm inlet – connects to a suitable larger airline from an air pump or compressor.
- Ten 4mm outlets – ideal for connecting individual airline feeds to compatible air stones and aeration equipment.
- Ideal for multi-point aeration – useful when several reservoirs, pots or air stones need to run from one pump.
- Neater system layout – brings multiple airline branches together at one central distribution point.
- Suitable for hydroponics – use for aeration in nutrient reservoirs, DWC and other hydroponic growing systems.
What is a 10 way airline manifold used for?
An airline manifold divides the output from one larger air pump or compressor into several smaller feeds. This 10 way version provides ten 4mm outlets, making it particularly useful where several air stones or aeration devices need to operate from the same main air supply.
It can be used to aerate nutrient reservoirs, DWC systems and other hydroponic setups where oxygenation is required at multiple points.
The manifold can also be incorporated into suitable NFT systems to divide nutrient solution between multiple feeds.
How to use the 10 Way Plastic Airline Manifold
Connect the 8mm inlet to the main airline from a suitably sized air pump or compressor. Attach 4mm airline to the required outlets, then route each individual line to its air stone, air curtain or other compatible aeration device.
Keep airline runs tidy and avoid unnecessary kinks or restrictions. The airflow available at each outlet will depend on the total output of the air pump, the number of outlets being used, airline length and the resistance created by the connected air stones or diffusers.
For a larger multi-point setup, choosing an air pump with sufficient capacity is important because the pump's total air output is shared across the connected outlets.

100ml Nutrient Measuring Syringe FAQs
What is a 100ml syringe used for in horticulture?
A 100ml measuring syringe can be used to measure and dispense suitable liquid plant nutrients, feeds, supplements and additives when preparing nutrient solutions.
Can I use a 100ml syringe for measuring plant nutrients?
Yes. A 100ml syringe provides a convenient way to measure larger quantities of liquid plant nutrients before adding them to water or a nutrient reservoir.
Why choose a 100ml nutrient syringe?
The larger 100ml capacity is useful when regularly measuring quantities that would require several fills of a smaller syringe. This can make routine nutrient preparation quicker and more convenient.
Should I choose a 10ml, 20ml, 60ml or 100ml nutrient syringe?
Choose the syringe size that best matches the quantities you regularly measure. The 10ml and 20ml versions are useful for smaller doses, while the 60ml and 100ml syringes provide greater capacity for larger measurements.
Can I use the same syringe for different nutrients?
Take care to avoid cross-contamination between concentrated products. Clean the syringe appropriately between compatible liquids or use separate measuring equipment where necessary.

100mm flat ceramic air stone for creating a wide spread of fine bubbles in hydroponic nutrient reservoirs and DWC systems.
The 100mm Round Flat Ceramic Air Stone provides effective aeration without taking up unnecessary space in the bottom of a reservoir. Its broad porous surface disperses air as many small bubbles, helping oxygenate the nutrient solution while creating useful movement within the tank.
Measuring 100mm, or approximately 4 inches, across, this compact ceramic disc sits flat on the bottom of a reservoir. Connect it to a suitable external air pump using compatible airline and air is forced through the porous stone before bubbling through the surrounding solution.
It is a practical choice for DWC buckets, hydroponic nutrient reservoirs and other systems where continuous aeration is required around the root zone.
Why choose a 100mm Flat Ceramic Air Stone?
- Wide bubble distribution – the 100mm circular surface spreads aeration across a broader area than a small ball-style air stone.
- Porous ceramic diffuser – releases incoming air as many small bubbles through the surface of the stone.
- Flat profile – sits neatly at the bottom of buckets, tanks and nutrient reservoirs.
- Compact 100mm size – well suited to individual DWC buckets and smaller hydroponic reservoirs.
- Improves nutrient solution movement – rising bubbles help keep the surrounding solution circulating.
- Ideal for hydroponics – suitable for DWC, nutrient reservoirs and other actively aerated growing systems.
What is a flat ceramic air stone used for?
A flat ceramic air stone acts as a submerged diffuser. Air supplied by an external pump is forced through the many pores in the ceramic body, creating a spread of small bubbles rather than releasing the air from one open airline.
As those bubbles rise through the reservoir they create movement in the nutrient solution and increase aeration. The flat disc design also keeps the diffuser low in the tank, allowing bubbles to rise through the water from near the bottom of the reservoir.
Ideal for DWC and hydroponic reservoirs
The 100mm size is particularly useful for DWC buckets and individual nutrient reservoirs where a compact diffuser with a broad bubbling surface is required.
For larger hydroponic installations, several ceramic air stones can be positioned in separate pots or reservoirs. A suitably sized air pump and manifold can then distribute air between the individual diffuser lines.
How to use the 100mm Ceramic Air Stone
Connect suitable flexible airline between the ceramic air stone and an appropriately sized external air pump. Place the air stone flat at the bottom of the reservoir, keeping the porous ceramic section submerged.
Switch on the pump and air will pass through the porous surface, producing bubbles throughout the surrounding nutrient solution. Positioning the diffuser low in the reservoir gives those bubbles more distance to travel before reaching the surface.
Keep airline runs free from kinks and restrictions that could reduce airflow. Positioning the air pump above the water level helps protect it against water siphoning back through the airline if the power is switched off.

100mm Ceramic Air Stone FAQs
What size is this ceramic air stone?
The round ceramic air stone measures 100mm, or approximately 4 inches, in diameter.
What does a flat ceramic air stone do?
Air from an external pump is forced through the porous ceramic surface and released into the surrounding water or nutrient solution as many small bubbles.
What size airline can I use with the 100mm air stone?
The 100mm flat ceramic air stone can accept compatible 4mm or 8mm internal-diameter flexible airline.
Is a 100mm air stone suitable for DWC?
Yes. The compact flat design is particularly useful in DWC buckets and reservoirs where continuous nutrient solution aeration is required.
Where should I position a flat air stone?
Position it flat at the bottom of the reservoir or tank. This keeps the diffuser low in the solution and allows bubbles to rise through the water above it.
Does the ceramic air stone need an air pump?
Yes. The air stone is a diffuser rather than an air source, so it needs to be connected to a suitable external air pump.
Can I use several 100mm air stones from one air pump?
Yes. Multiple air stones can be operated from one sufficiently powerful air pump. A suitable manifold can be used to divide the pump output between the individual airline runs.
What is the difference between a 100mm and 150mm ceramic air stone?
The 100mm version has a more compact 4-inch diffusing surface, making it useful for individual buckets and smaller reservoirs. The 150mm version provides a larger 6-inch diffusing area for broader bubble distribution in bigger reservoirs.
Are the air pump and airline included?
No. The ceramic air stone is supplied separately, allowing the air pump and airline to be selected to suit the aeration system.

Large 100mm cylindrical air stone for powerful aeration and circulation in hydroponic nutrient reservoirs and DWC systems.
The 100mm Coke Can Air Stone is a large porous air diffuser designed to introduce a continuous supply of bubbles into water or hydroponic nutrient solution. Its substantial cylindrical surface provides plenty of area for dispersing air, making it particularly useful in larger reservoirs and systems that need vigorous aeration.
Connect the air stone to a suitably powerful external air pump and position it below the surface of the nutrient solution. Air passes through the porous diffuser and emerges as bubbles, increasing aeration while helping to keep the surrounding solution moving.
The 100mm version measures approximately 100mm high by 50mm in diameter, giving it a larger diffusing body than the 70mm Coke Can Air Stone. It is a useful choice for DWC systems, bubbler systems and larger hydroponic nutrient reservoirs.
Why choose a 100mm Coke Can Air Stone?
- Large cylindrical diffuser – provides a substantial porous surface for distributing air through nutrient solution.
- Strong reservoir aeration – ideal for systems where a higher level of aeration is required.
- Supports dissolved oxygen levels – helps maintain an oxygen-rich nutrient solution around hydroponic roots.
- Encourages water movement – rising bubbles help circulate the surrounding nutrient solution.
- Ideal for DWC – well suited to deep water culture, bubbler systems and larger nutrient reservoirs.
- Suitable for multi-pot installations – several air stones can be supplied from a suitably sized air pump using an airline manifold.
What is a 100mm Coke Can Air Stone used for?
A Coke Can Air Stone is submerged in water or nutrient solution and supplied with air from an external pump. The porous body breaks the incoming airflow into bubbles rather than releasing air from a single open airline.
This makes the 100mm version particularly useful for hydroponic nutrient tanks and DWC systems where continuous aeration is needed around submerged roots. Its larger cylindrical body also makes it a practical option for bigger reservoirs where a small air stone may not provide the desired spread of bubbles.
Ideal for larger hydroponic reservoirs
At approximately 100mm high and 50mm in diameter, this is a sizeable air diffuser designed for use with a suitable high-output air pump. Positioning the air stone towards the bottom of a reservoir allows bubbles to rise through more of the nutrient solution before reaching the surface.
Several Coke Can Air Stones can also be incorporated into a larger aeration system. A suitable airline manifold allows one sufficiently powerful air pump or compressor to supply individual air stones across several reservoirs or growing positions.
How to use the 100mm Coke Can Air Stone
Connect the air stone to compatible airline running from a suitable external air pump or compressor. Place the air stone in the nutrient tank or reservoir, keeping the porous diffuser submerged and preferably positioned towards the bottom.
Switch on the air pump and check that bubbles are being produced through the diffuser. Coke Can Air Stones require a substantial air supply, with current UK hydroponic listings specifying approximately 5 – 10 litres of air per minute, so use a pump capable of providing the required airflow.
If the air stone is being used as part of a multi-outlet system, remember that the pump's total output is shared between all connected diffusers. The air pump therefore needs to be sized for the complete aeration setup rather than for a single air stone.
Over time, deposits can restrict the porous surface and reduce bubble production. Keeping the diffuser clean and checking the airline for kinks or blockages will help maintain consistent performance.

This larger Coke Can Air Stone measures approximately 100mm high and 50mm in diameter.
What does a Coke Can Air Stone do?
It takes air supplied by an external pump and disperses it through its porous surface as bubbles, helping to aerate and circulate water or hydroponic nutrient solution.
How much airflow does a Coke Can Air Stone need?
Current UK hydroponic listings specify approximately 5 – 10 litres of air per minute for Coke Can Air Stones. A suitably sized air pump should therefore be used to achieve effective aeration.
Is the 100mm Coke Can Air Stone suitable for DWC?
Yes. Its large cylindrical diffusing surface makes it particularly useful for aerating nutrient solution in deep water culture systems.
Can I use this air stone in a large nutrient reservoir?
Yes. The 100mm Coke Can Air Stone is well suited to larger hydroponic nutrient tanks and reservoirs where a substantial diffusing surface is useful.
Where should I position the air stone?
Position the air stone below the surface of the nutrient solution, preferably towards the bottom of the reservoir. This allows the bubbles to rise through more of the solution before reaching the surface.
Can I run several 100mm Coke Can Air Stones from one pump?
Yes, provided the air pump has enough total output for all of the connected air stones. A suitable airline manifold can be used to divide the main air supply between several diffusers.
Why is my air stone producing fewer bubbles?
Reduced bubble production can be caused by insufficient pump output, restricted airline or deposits building up within the porous diffuser. Check the airline and pump first, then clean the air stone if its surface has become restricted.
Does the 100mm Coke Can Air Stone include a pump or airline?
No. The air stone is supplied separately and requires compatible airline and a suitably sized external air pump or compressor.

150mm flat ceramic air stone for producing a wide spread of fine bubbles across hydroponic nutrient reservoirs and DWC systems.
The 150mm Round Flat Ceramic Air Stone provides a simple way to increase aeration and movement throughout a hydroponic nutrient solution. Its broad, porous ceramic surface releases air as many small bubbles, spreading aeration over a much wider area than a compact ball-style air stone.
At 150mm or 6 inches in diameter, the disc sits flat at the bottom of a reservoir or tank. Connect the 4mm inlet to a suitable air pump using compatible airline and the incoming air is distributed through the porous ceramic body.
It is particularly useful for DWC systems, hydroponic nutrient reservoirs and other growing systems where continuous aeration helps keep the solution moving around the root zone.
Why choose a 150mm Flat Ceramic Air Stone?
- Wide 150mm diffuser – spreads aeration across a larger area of the reservoir.
- Porous ceramic construction – produces many small bubbles through the surface of the air stone.
- Flat circular design – sits neatly at the bottom of tanks and nutrient reservoirs.
- 4mm inlet – connects to compatible 4mm airline and a suitable external air pump.
- Improves nutrient solution movement – rising bubbles help circulate the surrounding solution.
- Ideal for hydroponics – suitable for DWC, nutrient reservoirs and other actively aerated growing systems.
What is a flat ceramic air stone used for?
A flat ceramic air stone is a submerged diffuser that takes air from an external pump and distributes it through thousands of small pores. Instead of releasing air from a single open airline, the ceramic surface produces a broad spread of bubbles across the reservoir.
The 150mm disc format is particularly useful where you want aeration distributed across a wider area. Its low, flat shape allows the air stone to sit at the bottom of the tank while bubbles rise through the nutrient solution above it.
Ideal for DWC and nutrient reservoirs
In deep water culture systems, roots spend extended periods in nutrient solution, making active aeration an important part of the setup. A flat air stone positioned beneath the root zone creates a continuous stream of bubbles while helping keep the nutrient solution moving.
The 150mm size is also well suited to standalone nutrient reservoirs and other hydroponic tanks where a broader diffusing surface is preferred to a small individual air stone.
How to use the 150mm Ceramic Air Stone
Connect compatible 4mm airline to the inlet on the side of the air stone, then connect the other end to a suitably sized external air pump. Place the ceramic disc flat at the bottom of the reservoir and keep the porous section submerged.
Once the pump is switched on, air passes through the ceramic body and bubbles rise through the surrounding water or nutrient solution.
Keep the airline free from kinks and restrictions. For added protection against water travelling back towards the pump when it is switched off, the air pump can be positioned above the water level or a suitable non-return valve can be incorporated into the airline.

150mm Ceramic Air Stone FAQs
What size is this ceramic air stone?
The air stone is 150mm, or approximately 6 inches, in diameter and has a flat circular design.
What size airline does the 150mm air stone use?
This 150mm version has a 4mm inlet for connecting compatible airline to a suitable air pump.
What does a ceramic air stone do?
Air supplied by an external pump passes through the porous ceramic body and is released as many small bubbles, helping aerate and circulate the surrounding water or nutrient solution.
Is the 150mm air stone suitable for DWC?
Yes. Its broad diffusing surface makes it particularly useful for aerating nutrient solution in deep water culture systems.
Where should I position a flat air stone?
Place it flat towards the bottom of the reservoir or tank. This allows bubbles to rise through the nutrient solution from a low position in the system.
Does this air stone need an air pump?
Yes. The ceramic air stone is a diffuser and requires a suitable external air pump to supply the airflow.
Is an air pump or airline included?
No. The air stone is supplied separately, so a suitable air pump and compatible 4mm airline are required to create a complete aeration setup.
Can I use more than one 150mm air stone?
Yes. Multiple air stones can be incorporated into a larger aeration system provided the connected air pump has sufficient output. A suitable manifold can be used to divide the air supply between separate airline runs.
Why use a flat air stone instead of a small ball air stone?
The larger flat ceramic surface spreads bubbles across a wider area, making it useful when you want broader aeration across the bottom of a nutrient reservoir rather than a concentrated stream from a smaller diffuser.
