 Adding
aeration to ponds and private lakes is the best method to control water quality
and algae. It is very important not to overlook aeration in small basins and in
ponds which have a large organic load and that are typically mucky at the bottom.
We strongly promote air diffusion at the bottom of the pond as the best form of
aeration. Fountains and cascades are aesthetically pleasing and offer some surface
aeration but we recommend bottom air diffusion as the most efficient way to improve
and maintain good water quality.
Aeration of the pond is basically the
injection of micro-air bubbles into the water to supply oxygen to your pond, lake,
well, golf-course water body, etc. The water of the pond is turned and circulated
from bottom to top by air diffuser plates that oxygenate the entire pond. Aeration
is effective all year round and is a key ingredient in maintaining a healthy aquatic
environment. read more
Complete
Aeration Systems
Our Vertex® aeration systems are complete pond aeration packages that include
compressors, diffusers and cabinets. Efficient aeration will not only help stop
fish kills but by raising oxygen levels it will help reduce the nutrient levels
associated with algae growth and foul odours.
For ponds up to 9 acres
the Air series is a line of 7 affordable packages.
The
Air-7 is our biggest aerating system for ponds up to 9 acres.
The AirXL series is a line of 4 systems that
can provide more lifting power to tackle any difficult pond scenario.

A pond that has a regular shape and a single deep area would require an
appropriately sized compressor, a single diffusion station and the required length
of self-sinking tubing. If you prefer to have your compressor further from the
pond then simply run a line of regular tubing from the compressor and then connect
the more expensive self-sinking tubing at the pond edge. The compressor may be
placed up to 1 km away from the diffuser. Read more about

Windmills
for pond aeration
Windmills provide an aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient way to aerate
ponds, dugouts and wastewater reservoirs. Lake diffusers and bottom diffusion
plates perform exceptionally well with a wind powered aeration system and a spinning
windmill also has the power to remind us of simpler times.

Benefits
of pond aeration:
1. Increased dissolved oxygen and limits thermal stratification
2. Stops oxygen related fish kills
3. Reduces nutrient levels
associated with algae growth
4. Improves fisheries production by expanding
oxygenated habitat
5. Reduces mosquito insect hatches (west nile virus)
6. Eliminates foul odors from undesirable dissolved gases read
