Pond Aeration for Municipalities

What is Aeration?

Aeration is the process of adding oxygen to water in order to elevate the levels of oxygen within a water source.

Many Forms of Aeration

There are a number of forms of pond aeration on the market today. Ranging in price and methods. Such as fountains, filters, skimmers, windmill aeration systems, electrical aerators, circulators - they will all help keep your pond water moving and provide essential oxygen to your pond. However there is one method that is the safest, most cost effective and environmentally friendly.

Two Types of Aeration

There are two main types of Aeration: Surface aeration and Bottom Up or sub Surface Aeration; Surface aeration only provides oxygen to the top 2 ft at most of a pond. Bottom Up aeration circulates and provides oxygen to the whole pond.

Why Pond Aeration?

Pond aeration speeds up the decomposition of decaying matter that lies at a pond's bottom. If you do not aerate the water then this dead organic matter starts building up in the pond and depleting more and more oxygen. As this occurs it opens the door to a host of problems that can happen in your pond the most likely one tends to be the presence of algae and the widespread growth of it covering the pond's surface.
