Proper pond
aeration is a critical component of maintaining a healthy and clean pond or
lake. The oxygenation and water circulation benefits of a pond aerator
allow for faster decomposition of waste, reduction of algae growth, necessary
oxygen and gas transfer, cleaner water and stimulation of beneficial pond
bacteria.
We offer both
floating pond aerators (surface pond aerators) and bottom-based diffuser
aerators. Each type of aerator has its place and is most effective under
different conditions. Typically, floating pond aerators are best suited
for shallower ponds say 8ft or less. While diffuser aerators are most
effective in deeper ponds and lakes where water is stratified and a
thermocline exists.
Our floating pond
aerators come in two models, the Boilermaker and the DA-20 Display Aerator,
each of which is available in 3 different sizes to accommodate a variety of
pond aeration needs. These units pump water from just below the surface up to
the surface creating efficient oxygen transfer as well as venting
gases.
All of the surface
pond aerators are made in the USA of oil-free stainless steel components,
guaranteed to be the most environmentally friendly water features on the
market, with each pond aerator carrying a 5-year motor warranty…the best in
the business. ˝ HP size fountains come with a standard 70 ft cord. All 1.5 HP
size fountains come with a standard 100 ft cord.
Our diffused pond aeration systems are available in electrical or wind
powered models. The electrical systems are good for ponds that require constant
24/7 aeration due to heavy fish population and/ or significant nutrient load and
that have electricity nearby the pond. The windmill pond aerators are ideal for
ponds with no electrical access. These windmill pond aerators are
high efficiency and need as little as 3-5 mph wind speed to generate
oxygen for the pond.
All of these units utilize compressors to push oxygen to
the bottom of the pond that is released through diffusers (air stones) causing
the water to bubble up and float to the surface. This action enables
the low-oxygen bottom water to mix with the oxygenated water higher in the
water column thus de-stratifying the pond. Bottom-based diffuser aerators are
the most efficient systems for ponds deeper than 8ft an also do not
require electricity IN the water. Be aware that diffuser systems can be used in shallower ponds,
however due to reduced efficiency, more diffusers and air pumps may be needed to
sufficiently aerate the entire pond which can quickly raise the
cost.
If you are
unsure of what system might be best for you, contact us today and let our knowledgeable aerator
technicians customize an aeration systems suited for your specific pond or
lake needs.
