Aquaponics: Paradigm Shift with Airlift

With thoughtful design, appropriate maintenance, and effective management, airlift pumps may allow the transfer of water through an aquaponics system in a more efficient way than using water pumps. Understanding the disadvantages and learning how easy it is to construct an airlift pump can help many to reduce their energy cost while avoiding the high risk and maintenance resulted from having a submerged electrical pump in the fish tank.

The presentation will be one hour with an additional 30 minutes for questions and answers.
