Aeration Equipment Installation & Maintenance

Services include an assessment of DO concentrations and determination of aeration needs.  Proper sizing and placement of these systems is required to prevent fish kills and nutrient re-suspension, promote healthy fish populations, and improve water quality.  WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE CUSTOM AERATION SYSTEMS SPECIFIC FOR EACH POND. In addition to sales, we also install and service all types of systems.  Water movers are available, which reduce stagnation in shallow areas and provide open water around permanent piers or docks during winter months.

OVERVIEW

Aeration is the addition of oxygen to water.  The greatest oxygen transfer occurs when the water contacts the surface, so proper mixing is important.  Fountains pump water into the air by way of a submerged pump.  While they are aesthetically pleasing, fountains are mainly surface aerators and will not be able to pull water from deeper sections of the pond.  Diffused aeration pumps air into the water to create a boiling effect and a properly sized system should be able to turn the volume of the pond multiple times per day.  We recommend fountain aeration where seeing and hearing water is a priority or for shallow ponds.  But in deeper ponds, the most efficient means of enhancing water quality is diffused air aeration.
