Not great with air pump
"The wand itself is good, but the 2u filter doesn't pass air when used with the aquarium pump aeration kit (KL03919). Probably better suited to high pressure O2 cylinders."

This device is particularly good for fermentations that require a large population of yeast. Pilsners (or other beers fermented at low temperautres) or high gravity beers in particular will really benefit from getting high levels of oxygen into the wort at the start of fermentation.
These wand kits are an easy way to use get your fermentation off to a good active start.
The wand kit includes the 60cm stainless steel 8mm OD wand and the 2 micron aeration stone screws into the end using an MFL thread so it can easily be removed for autoclave or dip in acid soluton.
The kit also includes 2 meters of EVABarrier 5mm x 8mm tubing.
A duotight - 8mm (5/16) Screwlock x 8mm (5/16) Elbow is included to easily fit the 8mm OD EVABAarrier onto the 8mm stainless tubing.
Specifications:
650mm total wand length with an 8mm OD
2 micron stainless sintered air stone
If you are looking for a smaller micron stone for even greater O2 uptake we now have an Oxygenation Kit with 0.5 Micron Stone!

"Work great with the wort aerator pump."
"I like this wand for my aeration better then any else I have used. Tip if you use aquarium air pump make sure the stone is dry and the pump is on before placing in the wort."
"Great for aerating wort and musts. Use in multiple fermenters usually through a bung hole or just through the lid. Like it better than a barbed fitting on eva/ silicone hose."
