Unit price perHigh-output 70mm cylindrical air stone for increasing aeration and circulation in hydroponic nutrient reservoirs and DWC systems.
The 70mm Coke Can Air Stone is designed to disperse air throughout water or nutrient solution, helping growers maintain a well-aerated root environment. Its cylindrical shape provides a larger diffusing surface than smaller ball-style air stones, making it a useful choice for hydroponic reservoirs and systems requiring a stronger level of aeration.
Connect the air stone to a suitably powerful external air pump and submerge it in the reservoir. Air is forced through the porous body, creating a continuous spread of bubbles that helps increase dissolved oxygen and keeps the surrounding nutrient solution moving.
Coke can air stones are particularly well suited to DWC, bubbler systems and nutrient reservoirs. Several can also be run from a larger air pump using a suitable airline manifold for multi-pot or multi-reservoir installations.
Why choose a 70mm Coke Can Air Stone?
What is a Coke Can Air Stone used for?
A Coke Can Air Stone is a porous diffuser used to introduce air into water or hydroponic nutrient solution. Unlike an open airline that releases air from a single point, the porous surface breaks the incoming airflow into a continuous spread of bubbles.
In hydroponics, this makes it particularly useful for aerating nutrient reservoirs and systems where plant roots remain in or have regular contact with nutrient solution. The moving bubbles increase gas exchange and help prevent the water immediately around the diffuser from remaining stagnant.
Ideal for DWC and hydroponic reservoirs
The larger cylindrical design makes this air stone particularly useful in deep water culture systems and nutrient tanks where stronger aeration is required. It can be positioned towards the bottom of the reservoir so bubbles rise through the nutrient solution before reaching the surface.
For multi-pot systems, several air stones can be connected to a suitably sized air pump. An airline manifold can divide the main air supply into individual feeds for each reservoir or growing position.
How to use the 70mm Coke Can Air Stone
Connect the air stone to compatible airline running from a suitable external air pump or compressor. Submerge the complete porous section of the air stone in the water or nutrient solution, ideally positioning it towards the bottom of the reservoir.
Switch on the air pump and check that bubbles are being produced across the diffuser. This 70mm Coke Can Air Stone is designed for relatively high airflow and is listed for approximately 5 – 10 litres of air per minute, so the connected pump should be appropriately sized.
If bubble production reduces over time, inspect the airline and air stone for restrictions or mineral deposits. Keeping the diffuser clean helps maintain consistent airflow through its porous surface.

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?
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.

Unit price per50m roll of porous 4mm bubbler tubing for creating custom-length air diffusers and an even wall of bubbles in hydroponic reservoirs.
This 4mm Bubbler Tubing gives growers a flexible alternative to conventional air stones. Instead of carrying air to a separate diffuser, the porous tubing releases air through its surface, producing bubbles along the length of the tube.
Supplied as a 50m roll, it can be cut and arranged to suit different reservoir shapes and aeration layouts. This makes it particularly useful for custom hydroponic systems, larger nutrient tanks and applications where you want to spread aeration across a wider area rather than concentrate it around a single air stone.
The tubing has a 4mm internal diameter and approximately 9mm external diameter. Connect it to a suitable air supply, close the far end and position the porous section within the reservoir to create your own air diffuser.
Why choose 4mm Bubbler Tubing?
What is bubbler tubing used for?
Bubbler tubing is a porous air diffuser supplied in flexible tube form. When connected to an air pump, air passes through the walls of the submerged tubing and creates a fine, even spread of bubbles.
Because the tubing itself acts as the diffuser, growers can create aeration layouts that follow the shape of a reservoir or cover a wider area than a small individual air stone. It is particularly useful for DIY hydroponic systems and custom reservoir setups.
Bubbler tubing or an air stone?
A conventional air stone concentrates aeration around a fixed diffuser. Bubbler tubing allows the diffusing area to be extended along a chosen length, giving you more freedom over where bubbles are produced within the reservoir.
This makes bubbler tubing a useful option for long tanks, larger reservoirs and unusual layouts where several fixed air stones would otherwise be needed to spread aeration across the available space.
How to use 4mm Bubbler Tubing
Cut the bubbler tubing to the required length for your reservoir or aeration layout. Connect one end to a compatible airline supply from a suitably sized air pump, using the appropriate connector where required.
Seal the opposite end with a compatible stop end so that the incoming air is forced through the porous wall of the tubing. Position the bubbler tubing below the surface of the water or nutrient solution, then switch on the air pump and check that bubbles are being produced along the required section.
Longer lengths of bubbler tubing place greater demand on the air supply, so the connected pump should be sized for the amount of tubing being operated and the level of aeration required.

What is 4mm airline tubing used for?
Airline tubing carries air from an external air pump to an air stone, diffuser or other aeration accessory. In hydroponic systems, this allows growers to position the pump away from the reservoir while delivering air directly to the submerged diffuser.
It can also be used with compatible airline manifolds. A larger incoming air supply is divided at the manifold, with individual lengths of 4mm airline then running to separate air stones or aeration points.
This makes a 200m roll particularly practical for DWC systems, nutrient reservoirs, propagation setups and larger multi-pot installations where many separate airline runs are required.
How to use 4mm Airline Tubing
Cut the airline to the length required for your installation. Push one end securely onto the compatible outlet of your air pump or manifold and connect the other end to an air stone, diffuser or other suitable aeration accessory.
Route the tubing neatly between the air supply and reservoir, avoiding sharp bends, crushing or kinks that could restrict airflow. For multi-pot installations, cut individual runs from the roll and connect them to the corresponding outlets on the manifold.
When planning a larger system, remember that longer airline runs and multiple air stones increase the demand placed on the pump. The air pump should therefore provide enough total airflow for the complete installation.

Unit price per150mm 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?
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.

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.
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?
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.

Four individual outlets allow separate airline runs to be connected directly to the pump, making it a practical choice for smaller multi-pot hydroponic systems and nutrient reservoirs.
With a maximum airflow of 10 litres per minute and an adjustable control on top of the unit, the ACO-9610 gives you greater control over the amount of air being delivered to your system.
Hailea combines an oil-free air compression system with multilevel sound suppression and vibration damping to maintain consistent airflow while keeping operating noise below 45dB.
Why choose the Hailea ACO-9610 Air Pump?
Ideal for DWC and hydroponic reservoir aeration
The ACO-9610 is particularly useful when several air stones need to be supplied without moving up to a larger six or eight-outlet pump. Its four outlets can each feed an individual airline, allowing air to be distributed between separate DWC pots or different areas of a nutrient reservoir.
For a four-pot DWC setup, each outlet can be connected to its own airline and air stone. The same arrangement works well when several diffusers are positioned around a larger reservoir to spread aeration more evenly.
The adjustable output means the pump does not have to operate at maximum airflow all the time. Air delivery can be reduced to better suit the number of outlets and diffusers in use.
How to use the Hailea ACO-9610
Position the pump on a firm, level surface above the water level of the reservoir. Connect compatible 4mm airline to the required outlets and attach an air stone or suitable diffuser to the opposite end of each airline.
Place the air stones in the nutrient solution before switching the pump on. Once running, use the rotary control on top of the ACO-9610 to adjust the airflow until the required level of aeration is achieved.
Keep airline runs free from sharp bends and kinks that could restrict airflow. If the pump needs to be installed below water level, fit suitable non-return valves to the airline to help prevent water siphoning back towards the pump if it stops.
Check the airline and air stones periodically for restrictions or deposits. The pump uses replaceable diaphragm components, allowing it to be serviced as these parts wear through regular use.

Unit price perHigh-output 60L/min air pump supplied with a 10-way manifold for powerful aeration across DWC systems, nutrient reservoirs and multiple air stones.
The Hailea ACO-9820 is a high-capacity diaphragm air pump designed for hydroponic systems that need serious amounts of aeration. Producing up to 60 litres of air per minute, equivalent to 3,600 litres per hour, it provides a central air supply for larger reservoirs and multi-pot growing systems.
Unlike the smaller ACO-96 series pumps with individual outlets built into the casing, the ACO-9820 has a high-output main connection and is supplied with a 10-way manifold. This divides the pump's airflow between multiple airline runs, making it straightforward to operate a bank of air stones from one pump.
Hailea's Super Silent design combines double damping, noise absorption and anti-vibration features to reduce operating noise. The oil-free diaphragm system provides clean compressed air, making the ACO-9820 particularly well suited to hydroponic nutrient aeration.
Why choose the Hailea ACO-9820 Air Pump?
High-output aeration for DWC, RDWC and nutrient reservoirs
The ACO-9820 is designed for systems where several aeration points need to operate from one powerful central air pump. Its 60L/min output makes it particularly useful for larger DWC and recirculating DWC installations, commercial propagation systems and sizeable nutrient reservoirs.
The supplied 10-way manifold allows the total pump output to be divided between multiple airline runs. Individual lines can then feed separate air stones positioned in DWC pots or at different points around a reservoir.
Airflow is shared between the connected outlets rather than 60L/min being delivered through every outlet. The actual airflow reaching each air stone will also depend on factors such as airline length, water depth and the resistance created by the diffuser.
How to use the Hailea ACO-9820
Position the ACO-9820 on a firm, stable surface above the water level of the reservoir. Connect the supplied manifold to the main pump outlet, then connect the required lengths of compatible airline to the manifold.
Attach suitable air stones or diffusers to the opposite ends of the airline and position them in the nutrient solution. Keeping airline runs reasonably direct and free from kinks helps minimise unnecessary resistance and maintain good airflow.
The 60L/min rating is the pump's total maximum airflow. When using the 10-way manifold, this air supply is distributed between the outlets being used. The number and type of air stones, depth of nutrient solution and resistance through the system will determine how that airflow is divided in practice.
Periodically inspect the pump, manifold, airline and air stones. Diffusers that become blocked with deposits can increase resistance and reduce effective airflow, so regular cleaning or replacement helps maintain consistent aeration.

Its 30L/min capacity also makes it useful for applications where smaller multi-outlet pumps do not provide enough airflow. Alongside hydroponic nutrient aeration, it can be used for propagation systems and other horticultural setups requiring a dependable continuous air supply.
The 30L/min rating is the maximum total airflow from the pump. When several manifold outlets are used, this airflow is shared between the connected lines rather than each outlet independently producing 30L/min.
How to use the Hailea ACO-9810
Place the pump on a firm, stable surface above the water level of your reservoir. Connect the supplied manifold to the main pump outlet using the connecting hose, then attach compatible airline to the manifold outlets you intend to use.
Connect suitable air stones or diffusers to the opposite ends of the airline and position them in the nutrient solution. Keep airline runs as direct as practical and avoid sharp bends or kinks that could restrict airflow.
Airflow from the pump is divided between the connected manifold outlets. Airline length, water depth and the resistance created by individual air stones will all influence the amount of air reaching each diffuser.
Inspect the manifold, airline and air stones periodically. Mineral deposits and other blockages in an air stone can increase resistance and reduce aeration, so cleaning or replacing restricted diffusers will help maintain consistent performance.

No. The ACO-2202 is a fixed-output model rated at up to 1.6L/min. It does not have the adjustable airflow control found on Hailea's adjustable ACO-96 series pumps.
How noisy is the Hailea ACO-2202?
Hailea rates the ACO-2202 at below 40dB. The pump uses a damping system and multilevel muffler to help reduce operating noise and vibration.
How much power does the ACO-2202 use?
The ACO-2202 is rated at just 2W, making it an economical option for continuous aeration in smaller systems.
What is the difference between the ACO-2202 and ACO-2204?
The ACO-2202 has one outlet and produces up to 1.6L/min. The larger ACO-2204 has two outlets and produces up to 4L/min in total, making it better suited to systems requiring two separate aeration lines.
