Pond Aeration

Is Aeration the Right Solution for You?

We often receive phone calls and emails from people who have ponds with water quality problems and they ask our opinion regarding the installation of an aeration system. One of the first questions that I ask is “Why are you considering aeration for your pond?”

Here is a selection of reasons to add aeration to your natural pond that we will discuss in more detail after you schedule an appointment:

To reduce the occurrence of fish winter kill in nutrient rich ponds
To supplement the use of probiotic bacteria in maturing natural ponds
Increase the survival of trout in cold water ponds during summer conditions
Create surface turbulence to suppress cyanobacteria blooms

How I Can Help You:

I will discuss with you acceptable dissolved oxygen measurements for gamefish.

If you are considering the use of pond aeration we will contrast equipment and component quality and then determine the best system for improved results.
We will determine how to use aeration diffuser platforms to remove organic sediment from the pond bottom with and without using probiotic bacteria.
I will suggest how to maintain the aeration equipment for longevity and what possible repairs may occur after installation.
