Pond Aeration

Pond aeration does many things, it adds oxygen for the fish and other pond life. It helps to move the oxygen to the bottom of the pond so good bacteria can consume the sludge and debris. Some fish need more cold water then others and some are fine in warmer waters. Aeration works well for clearing the water for swimming and other sports. Fishing is one of the main reasons for having a pond and this too may play a part in the pond aeration you choose. Give us a call for more information or consider our pond consultation service.

Carbon Dioxide, Phosphates, Nitrogen, sulfur gases, sludge build up all play a roll in pond and fish health. Good bacteria break down partials in the pond turning them into nutrients that feed algae and pond weeds. It takes oxygen for good bacteria to break down sludge and dead plants in the lower pond water as carbon dioxide is higher.

Degassing a pond of nutrients, gases, phosphates and raising the oxygen level grows good bacteria which speed up sludge decomposition. There are many different strains of good bacteria in ponds and they all play an important part in cleaning up the ponds environment.  Lowering the oxygen level to the bottom of the pond also improves the invertebrate environment and population. This improves fish and other pond inhabitants with a better natural food source for health and population. Different fish have different needs in temperature, so consult the staff at it takes oxygen to break down sludge Pond Perfections about your own pond and its needs.

Winter pond or lake aeration will stop carbon dioxide build up under the ice, and provide the fish and pond with oxygen. Water is brought from the pond bottom with air diffusers. This is called air lifting and is used extensively in the fish farming.  A pond aeration system is ideal for this purpose, and it can be used year round to benefit the water quality in many ways. The system can either use an electric air pump or a Koenders windmill to move the water.  Call us for a consultation to determine which is best for your needs.
