Lake Bed Aeration™
The Foundation of Healthy, Beautiful Ponds and Lakes
Low levels of dissolved oxygen and highly stratified waters
can characterize degraded or eutrophic ponds and lakes, where warm, oxygen-rich
water is suspended above cool, oxygen-depleted bottom waters.
As anaerobic conditions begin to develop in deeper water,
naturally occurring aerobic bacteria can no longer perform beneficial
tasks such as waste digestion and water purification. With time, water
quality greatly decreases leading to unsightly blooms of algae, the accumulation
of aquatic sludge and the build-up of gases such as methane and hydrogen
sulfide (which are well know for their offensive odors). Low oxygen levels
can also lead to fish death and water kill.
Luckily, degraded ponds and lakes can easily be enhanced with
the addition of a Lake Bed Aeration System. Lake Bed Aeration acts to
increase dissolved oxygen levels while eliminating stratified waters.
Aerobic bacteria begin to recolonize in deeper water, where they rapidly
begin to digest accumulated sludge and improve water quality.
Lake Bed Aeration:
- Improves the esthetics and overall health of ponds and
lakes.
- Targets the "cause" of the problem, rather than
just its "symptoms".
- Eliminates the need for harmful chemicals.
- Is safe for the environment and animal inhabitants.
- Reduces maintenance, saving you money and time.
No aeration means degraded quality
and diminished fish health. |
Aeration literally breathes life into a pond
or lake.
The result is cleaner water
and healthier, more plentiful fish.

How the Aeration Process Works
Lake Bed Aeration is the introduction of compressed
air to a water body. When released at the bottom of a pond or lake,
compressed air naturally begins to migrate towards the surface of
the water. As air travels up the water column the pressure surrounding
the bubbles slowly decreases causing the bubbles to increase in
size -- a slight current begins to develop. The current draws oxygen-depleted
water from the bottom, oxygenates it and transports it to the surface.
This action protects fish, aquatic organisms and beneficial bacteria
from suffocation by breaking down stratified waters while increasing
dissolved oxygen levels. |
