HAILEA Air Compressors 318 60LPM

The Hailea ACO-318 Air Compressor is a robust, high-output electromagnetic pump built for oxygenation applications like aquariums, ponds, hydroponics, and water treatment systems. Rather than relying on a rubber diaphragm, this model uses a piston-driven mechanism, which provides strong airflow, low power usage, and longevity. Thanks to its oil-free design, the pump delivers clean, uncontaminated air, making it safe for delicate aquatic organisms.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Airflow Capacity: Delivers about 60 L/min, which is more than enough for major aeration setups.
• Durable Build: The case is made from high-quality ZL102 aluminium alloy, which efficiently dissipates heat during operation.
• Efficient Piston Design: Built with SF3 wear-resistant material in the piston and cylinder to reduce power consumption while offering reliable performance.
• Oil-Free Air: Produces clean, non-lubricated air to prevent contamination – ideal for sensitive systems.
• Quiet Operation: Noise is kept under 60 dB, making it relatively quiet for continuous aeration tasks.
• Low Pressure: Maximum pressure of ~0.2 bar (~0.02 MPa), which is suitable for typical aeration systems.
• Lightweight & Compact: Weighs around 1.65 kg, and dimensions are approx 182 × 95 × 116 mm, making installation flexible and easy.

Technical Specifications

Use Cases & Applications

• Aquariums & Ponds: Great for providing oxygen to fish, biofilters, and aquatic plants.
• Hydroponics & Aquaponics: Powers air stones and aeration systems for root oxygenation.
• Water Treatment: Ideal for aerating water in systems like fish stalls, farms, or sewage.
• General Aeration: Can be used wherever a steady flow of clean air is required long-term.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

1. Place the compressor on a flat, stable surface above the water level to prevent back siphoning.
2. Use airline tubing rated for the connection type (8 mm thread, 6 mm ID, etc.) for optimal airflow. Futurama
3. Install a check valve in the airline if there’s a risk of water flowing back.
4. Provide at least 10 cm of clear space around the unit to allow for proper cooling of the aluminium case.
5. Periodically check and clean the inlet filter (if fitted) to ensure efficient airflow.
