1.5 LPM Air Pump

Description

1.5 LPM Air Pump

This compact 1.5 LPM Air Pump has a single-outlet and can be used to bring a fresh constant oxygenate stream into your mushroom system. It features a strong and quiet 1.5 liter per minute air supply. Use with our 0.2um MycoLID Filter to add a HEPA type filtration to your air intake. Recommended for up to 32 Quart/Liter mushroom fruiting chambers. Every hour this pump outputs 90 liters of air. That replaces the air in a 32 Quart chamber about 3x per hour! See our full kit here!

Growing mushrooms in a manual kit requires you to fan the kit at minimum once per day. This helps remove stale moist CO2 rich air with fresh clean oxygen rich air. While mushrooms are triggered by the addition of light the the system, mushrooms grow all the time. This means once the mushrooms pin they grow during the day and night. So they utilize oxygen to grow all the time, not just when the lights are on or when you fan them. If you are to maximize yields, in whatever system you are fruiting in, the fanning system is ideal for oxygen intake and CO2 being exhausted. This also helps push out stale stagnate air and helps stop the process of contamination.

While it is rare to contaminate after colonization, this doesn’t mean it can’t happen. Utilizing an automated fanning system can help this. While fanning a kit once daily can work, it doesn’t mean the mushrooms will have enough oxygen daily to maximize their yields.

Other uses: This pump can also be used with fish tanks, hydroponic reservoirs and hydro mushroom setups.
