Pond Aeration Pump Systems

(Products available at bottom of this page)

Layers of water form one above another in a stratified nature.  This occurs during certain times of the year.  Warmer, oxygen-rich water develops near the surface while cooler, nutrient laden and oxygen deficient water forms near the bottom.

Non-Aerated Lake.

It is important to break this cycle of stratification, to make your lake or pond a desirable ecosystem.

Symtoms of Lake Stratification:

• Excessive plant and/or algae growth.

• Large and/or chronic fish kills.

• Muck accumulation along the bottom and shoreline.

• Foul odors (hydrogen sulfide gas ) bubbling to the surface.

• Cloudy or murky water leading to a loss of water clarity.

• Poor fishing with fewer desirable species.

A pond aerator is the perfect solution for improving water quality in golf course water hazards, retention ponds and larger bodies of water where the water depth exceeds a couple of feet.  In contrast to floating fountains, bottom aerators aerate the entire depth of the pond, not just the upper layer of water near the surface.  These pond aerators add oxygen at the bottom of your lake or pond where it is often deficient, and the column of upward moving water and oxygen eliminates stratification of the water resulting in control of algae, muck, foul odors and murky water.

Quieter than fountain type aerators with less water loss due to evaporation, these lake aeration systems have another significant advantage over fountain aerators - LOW COST OF OPERATION and LOW COST OF INITIAL INVESTMENT
