Its very simple. The one you posted is a commercial product. As far as I know, you can't find it here. I did a DIY version. Basically, you turn a container upside down and and pump air into it. Air is then trapped inside the container so that your newt, crab or whatever can breath air. Of course you must weight the container down or it will raise up due to the trapped air. I did it last year, which was doing well until my crab decide to climb up the filter and escape. Never seen it ever since...
