The Aerodyne APW80 is a great choice for 500-gallon per day aerobic septic systems. It produces 80LPM at 2.13PSI.  The APW80 is a replacement for the Hi Blow HP80 linear pump.  It’s a longer lasting repairable air pump.

The APW80 includes several improvements over similar pumps:

• The size of its diaphragms increased to reduce motion that causes repetitive stress fractures.

• Energy-efficient coils produce less heat that destroys rubber diaphragms. It takes 1.3 Amps (70 watts).

• The APW80 includes a threaded port for a Schrader valve (not included). The Schrader valve provides a pressure test point for the whole system.

• It includes built-in protection devices. A safety switch and thermostat protect internal components from diaphragm breaks or abnormal internal temperature buildup.

Note:  This pump has 3 ports:

• The main air out port,

• An alarm port plugged but includes a barbed fitting, and

• A plugged Schrader valve port but does not include a Schrader valve.

Use repair kit APW20DF to repair diaphragms in this pump.  The repair kit also includes a clean air intake filter.

If you receive an APW80 or DBMS80 pump that won’t work when you plug it in: The APW80 and DBMS80 linear pumps have safety switches that can sometimes be jostled open during shipping. It’s easy to reset the switch. Watch this very short video to learn how.
