Additional Information

A septic air pump is a necessary element in the health and maintenance of an aerobic septic system and should be replaced or repaired immediately if damaged or malfunctioning. The bacteria within your system require a certain amount of oxygen in order to complete their function; namely to digest, settle, and break down waste from your home or business in order to be properly collected and disposed of. The process of breaking down septic waste in an aerobic system can be around 20x faster than the process of breaking down septic waste in an anaerobic septic system. If the bacteria in the system are not supplied with proper levels of oxygen by a working and well maintained septic air pump, the system can begin to malfunction, corrode, or otherwise wear down. Signs of an improperly aerated or otherwise malfunctioning septic system include:

• Foul smell or discharge coming from the system itself
• An overflow of waste from the system
• Increased toxicity or non-clear/unsafe runoff
• Difficulty in removing and disposing of the waste from your septic system

Improper maintenance of your septic system can result in wasted time and high-cost repair expenses which can ruin your day and your budget. Make sure to routinely check your system for signs of malfunction, and perform routine maintenance on your pump in order to ensure proper operation.

Along with energy efficiency, low cost of maintenance, impressive capabilities, and long life of the quality operation, the Thomas septic air pumps can also be repaired multiple times prior to replacement. Kits for repairing these units are available for purchase and can save you significant amounts of money if used properly and on properly maintained systems.

Thomas septic air pumps are intended as a replacement for non-functioning or unusable existing Thomas septic air pumps or comparable models. If your Thomas septic air pump has already been repaired, consider contacting a professional to determine whether another repair can be performed, or if a new unit should be purchased.

Septic air pumps are a necessary part of any aerobic septic system. In order to maintain the health of your septic system, oxygen must be ‘fed’ to the system’s bacteria. The bacteria use this oxygen in the process of breaking down and settling waste from your commercial or residential septic system, ensuring the system stays healthy and the wastewater can be properly disposed of. A broken or malfunctioning septic system can result in foul-smelling discharge, overflow, corrosion, difficulty during collection and disposal, and other costly and time-consuming issues.

TECHNO TAKATSUKI/HiBLOW introduced the diaphragm pump in 1967 they are the first and original patent holder of the diaphragm pump. With the largest market share, and volume of pumps sold in the United States for many years they are the most common septic air pump found on an aerobic septic system. Manufacturing pumps for Clearstream, Hoot, Consolidated Treatment systems, Proflow, Hydro-Action, Enviro Flow/ Nu-water, and many others.

With constant improvements in the materials and mechanisms, TECHNO TAKATSUKI has introduced more than 20 million Septic air pumps/aerators to the market since then, thus responding to customers’ demand.

The Hiblow Septic Air Pumps are one of the most reliable, and longest lasting diaphragm pump on the market today. The HP Series of Hiblow has been used for over 15 years in the septic industry. Originally labeled a Gast compressor and imported by Gast for the first years 1997-2002. In 2002. This helped Hiblow gain the market share it did as the rotary vane was the pump of choice for a long time and Gast had most of the market.  Hiblow then decided to set up its own distribution office in Michigan taking full control from manufacturing to delivery of the units. Hiblows RD is also powerful and robust they take reliability, and performance serious with years spent testing before coming to market with a new product.

The Hiblow HP-80 septic aerator/ air pump is the most common air pump found on an aerobic septic system. Most systems are designed around the sqft of the home, and 500gpd is the most common system installed today.

The HP Series has models from 40 all the way to 200 liters of air per minute. HP-40,HP-60,HP-80,HP-100,HP120,HP-150,HP-200.There are also long life models that have a corresponding LL at the end of the model number called the HP-100LL, HP-120LL these have different internal parts than the regular 100-120 pumps and the kits for the regular will not work in the LL models, and the LL kits will not work in the 100/120 units. All of these units have a rebuild kit also HP-40, HP-60, HP-80, HP-100, HP-100LL.HP-120,HP-120LL, HP-150,HP-200. The 100/120LL kit is the same parts as the 150-200 kit.

The Hiblow Septic Air Pumps are priced higher than most pumps on the market. This is done partly because of the name brand and the market share it has. These septic aerators are the benchmark for other septic air pumps or septic aerators. Due to its ease of maintenance and how many times it can be rebuilt in the long run, it is a more cost-effective pump. You can buy a Hiblow rebuild kit for an HP-80, and they can be rebuilt two times with no issues. After two rebuilds it is recommended you replace your aerator.

Features of Gast Rotary Vane Septic Air Pumps

Gast’s top of the line rotary vane septic air pumps is constructed using highly durable and high-quality materials. Each pump is designed using a cylindrical housing containing a variety of flat, sliding vanes that are powered by rotors. The rotors turn the vanes using centrifugal force and a certain amount of pressure in order to create air pockets. These air pockets help in the creation of a vacuum, which in turn helps to ensure pressure flows stay steady, and the air is constantly being moved throughout the tank. This constant movement of oxygen helps to more evenly break down and settle waste within your system and ensure your entire system is working properly and staying healthy. 

Rotary vane septic air pumps tend to have a longer life than typical septic air pumps due to minimal wear and tear on the vanes themselves. Gast rotary vane septic air pumps are no different; these pumps have a typical life of around 8 to 10 years without proper maintenance. Proper maintenance also happens to be incredibly simple for Gast rotary vane septic air pumps. We recommend cleaning and maintaining the top filters of these pumps every four months or so, which ensures optimal performance and longevity. Other than this simple 3-times-a-year cleaning cycle, Gast septic air pumps require almost no additional service or maintenance during their lifecycle. This incredible durability is only one of the elements that set Gast rotary vane septic air pumps apart, but it is an important one. With between 8-10 years of uninterrupted service, the Gast line of rotary vane septic air pumps can make more than 7 billion rotations before its first servicing, rebuild, or replacement making Gast septic air pumps one of the longest-lasting lines on the market.

Cost Considerations

When determining a budget, you must factor in not only the initial cost of the unit you are preparing to purchase, but also the cost of operation, energy usage, repairs, and so on. While rotary vane air pumps tend to land on the pricier side when compared to linear septic air pumps both in initial purchase cost and in the cost of running the unit, rotary vane septic air pumps tend to be much more economical when it comes to longevity, maintenance, repairs, and replacement. Linear pumps typically require replacing in as little as 6 years, whereas rotary vane septic air pumps can last as long as 10 to 15 years with minor repairs and routine maintenance. In the long run, a rotary vane septic air pump will last you longer and require less maintenance than less expensive linear models.

Is it Time to Replace your Septic Air Pump?

At Wholesale Septic Supply, they carry Gast rotary vane septic air pumps along with all the parts you may need to repair or rebuild your unit. If you are in need of a replacement or new rotary vane septic air pump, look no further than the Gast line. Their expert team is ready to help you choose the perfect Gast rotary vane septic air pump for your residential or commercial septic system, and to help you know when and how to repair or replace your system.

If more than 10 years have passed since the installation of your septic system’s rotary vane septic air pump, it may be time to inspect, repair, or replace. Signs of damaged, broken, or malfunctioning rotary vane septic air pumps can be (though are not limited to):

• Foul-smelling discharge from the septic system
• Discharge that has the appearance of raw sewage (i.e. it is not clear, or odorless)
• Observable improper drainage and/or overflow of the system itself

Any of these symptoms, a combination of, or these symptoms with additional symptoms are likely a sign of malfunctioning parts. In this case, contacting a professional to determine whether or not a full replacement is necessary may be required. To prevent system malfunctions like the ones mentioned above, proper maintenance and repair of your system throughout its lifecycle are required.

They dwarf American manufacturers with 50,000 aerobic septic systems units a year produced and put in the ground. They produce and make more systems than all the manufactures here combined. On top of all of that, they have also been in business for 20 years longer than any company here, so they are very good at what they do. They manufacture an air pump that runs on 1 amp (that’s right 1 amp) and it is the most energy-efficient unit in the world today. It runs at super low temperatures that are almost unbelievable. A HiBlow is hot to the touch whereas a Fuji Mac is warm at best even under extreme tests which improve its overall performance.

Fuji Mac has hundreds of thousands of these all over the place. In Indonesia they have had units in the ground for over seven years and not one has failed. This amazing feat is due to certain design features, and a unit that runs at temperatures that are 45-50 degrees less than a Hiblow, Secoh, or Thomas. This lower temperature translates into less wear and stress on the diaphragm which leads to a much longer life.

Made in Japan

The factory is fanatically clean and is more like a clean room making microchips at Intel than one you would think of typically. The benefits of dealing with a Japanese company and buying a product made by them is that they are very honor-bound people who take with the utmost seriousness the quality of the goods they produce.

The company would feel great shame if they created a substandard product, and are very honest in the dealings we have had with them. I can say that the four people I have dealt with from their company are some of the most respectful and honorable people. Their product has done everything they said, and more. I have every confidence this pump will turn out to be the new standard in a couple more years of real-world testing.

Proven to Last

The people at Fuji Mac are very confident these units will last over 5-6 years with no issues. Some of the other units are still running. Hiblow, as of me writing this, has had the least amount of failure with four pumps needing rebuilding in 3 and half years. The old Secoh model has had the highest rate of failure with seven. The new JDK Secoh was not tested, and we have heard excellent things about this unit. It’s a rare-earth magnet, like the Fuji mac, will extend its life. We are sure and have just started running the
tests on them. Mind you, this test was done in Texas, and it is probably the most unforgiving areas a test can be done. A rotary vane pump was not used as it’s in a class of its own but time will tell. The Fuji Mac might last as long which would make it the best septic air pump ever made.

Replacing Your Old Septic Air Pump

If you are replacing your old pump, I would give strong consideration to the Fuji Mac. Though not as proven in the USA as a Hiblow, their worldwide reputation and all the tests we have done lead us to believe this is the best diaphragm septic air pump on the market today. The quality is ridiculously good on the build and you won’t be disappointed. This unit will save you money all around on electricity, upfront cost, and maintenance.
