Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my Frabill aeration stones?
It is recommended to inspect aeration stones periodically. Replace them when you notice a significant reduction in bubble output or visible clogging that cannot be cleaned. For optimal performance, consider replacement annually or as needed based on usage and water quality.

Can I use these Frabill aeration stones with any portable aerator?
These stones are designed as direct replacements for Frabill portable aerators. While they may fit other brands with similar hose barb sizes, their intended application is with Frabill units for guaranteed compatibility and performance.
