LAKE & FARM POND

AERATION

BREATHE LIFE INTO YOUR POND

Aeration keeps your water feature looking and functioning its best. That means less time spent maintaining your pond, and more time sitting back and enjoying it.

Without aeration, ponds stratify into two layers: cold, oxygen-free water on the bottom and warmer, oxygen rich water close to the surface. An aeration system eliminates this thermocline by mixing the layers, creating an oxygen-rich environment throughout the pond.

Our Large Pond Aeration Systems are powerful enough to aerate ponds up to 8 acres and can be adapted to fit uniquely shaped ponds for maximum aeration.

4 More Reasons Your Pond Needs Aeration

Less Muck

Not only is muck unpleasant to see or feel between your toes, but it can also give your pond a bad odor and provide habitat for leeches. Aeration combats muck by increasing the dissolved oxygen and circulating the water, encouraging the colonization of beneficial aerobic bacteria that can consume, reduce and prevent muck build-up.

Better Water Quality

Suspended muck makes your water look murky. By reducing muck and excess nutrients, increasing oxygen, and circulating the water, you will improve your water quality and clarity.

More Dissolved Oxygen

Without oxygen, your pond will go into an anaerobic state. Anaerobic bacteria are not as efficient at breaking down organic material as their aerobic counterparts and produce gas, giving the pond a rotten egg smell. Incorporating aeration into the pond increases the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, keeping your pond functioning as an aerobic system.

Healthier Fish

Harmful gas is often trapped under ice when your pond freezes or is brought up from your pond’s bottom during spring and fall turnover. If enough oxygen is displaced your fish will suffocate. Aeration assists in the release of gas leaving more oxygen available for your fish.
