Pond Aerators
 Catalog Page 67

Fish and other pond life (plants and beneficial bacteria) need oxygen to live and remain healthy. Aeration of the pond is particularly important in warm weather when the water contains less oxygen. During the night, oxygenating plants stop producing oxygen and start consuming it. Without a steady flow of fresh water containing oxygen, most ponds or lakes will become stagnant, stratified (by temperature and oxygen levels) and unhealthy. Our quiet, reliable and energy efficient pond aerators will provide maximum aeration and water circulation at low cost.

On this page are several different diffused aeration kits. Diffused aeration systems are the best way to aerate, de-stratify and create circulation on ponds over 6 feet deep. Each system has three basic parts:

1. Air compressor
2. Air hose
3. Diffuser

The air compressor sits on shore and pumps air out through the hose to the air diffuser located on the bottom of the pond. The result is thousands of tiny bubbles rushing out of the diffuser to the pond surface, creating circulation and providing aeration. There are several advantages to using diffused aeration kits instead of a surface aerator:

1. Electric motor is on shore, not in the water
2. Air diffusers lay on the bottom, ensuring aeration of the entire pond from bottom to top, regardless of depth
3. Tubing lengths up to 2000 feet can be achieved for ponds without electricity nearby

This diaphragm linear aeration kit includes a weather-proof compressor that allows outdoor use without further protection.
