Protect your fish with aeration

March 13, 2012 By admin

Why Aerate your Pond?

  • Aerators add valuable oxygen to your pond.
  • Aerators increase dissolved oxygen levels which increase the number of GOOD bacteria.
    • Good Bacteria helps keep your pond clean and clear with less organic build-up at the pond bottom.
  • Aerators replaces the need for de-icers and heaters during normal winters (severe winters may still need to add de-icers).  Bubbling / moving water does not freeze easily–therefore keeping a hole in the ice to allow toxic gases to leave the pond.
    • Toxic gases come from decaying organic matter and fish respiration.
    • Aerators save energy and your money when you can shut off your deicer.
  • Fish LOVE aeration.   Just watch them hover around the bubbles!
