Low levels of dissolved oxygen and highly stratified waters can characterize degraded or eutrophic ponds and lakes, where warm, oxygen-rich water is suspended above cool, oxygen-depleted bottom waters.
As anaerobic conditions begin to develop in deeper water, naturally occurring aerobic bacteria can no longer perform beneficial tasks such as waste digestion and water purification. With time, water quality greatly decreases leading to unsightly blooms of algae, the accumulation of aquatic sludge and the build-up of gases such as methane and hydrogen sulfide (which are well know for their offensive odors). Low oxygen levels can also lead to fish death and water kill.

Luckily, degraded ponds and lakes can easily be enhanced with the addition of an aeration system. Aeration acts to increase dissolved oxygen levels while eliminating stratified waters. Aerobic bacteria begin to recolonize in deeper water, where they rapidly begin to digest accumulated sludge and improve water quality.

Aeration:
• Improves the esthetics and overall health of ponds and lakes.
• Targets the "cause" of the problem, rather than just its "symptoms".
• Eliminates the need for harmful chemicals.
• Is safe for the environment and animal inhabitants.
• Reduces maintenance, saving you money and time.

No aeration means degraded quality
and diminished fish health.

Aeration literally breathes life into a pond or lake.
The result is cleaner water
and healthier, more plentiful fish.

How the Aeration Process Works
Aeration is the introduction of compressed air to a water body. When released at the bottom of a pond or lake, compressed air naturally begins to migrate towards the surface of the water. As air travels up the water column the pressure surrounding the bubbles slowly decreases causing the bubbles to increase in size -- a slight current begins to develop.

The current draws oxygen-depleted water from the bottom, oxygenates it and transports it to the surface. This action protects fish, aquatic organisms and beneficial bacteria from suffocation by breaking down stratified waters while increasing dissolved oxygen levels.

All of our aeration systems are used worldwide for:
• Improving Water Quality and Clarity
