Lower cost alternative to a fountain.

Less maintenance, left in all season.

Water movement and aeration at very bottom.

Leaves natural look of waterway.

Breaks down and reduces bottom muck/sludge.

Aerates entire water body.

Tips:
1. Fountains will only move water from 6-8 feet from the surface.
*Fountains can be use with a bubblier for maximum aeration.
2. Bubblers work best in waters greater then 4-5 feet deep.

Advantages of an Aeration System:

Breaks down bottom organic sediments (muck): Aerobic (with oxygen) bacteria break down organic sediment at a much faster rate then anaerobic (without oxygen) bacteria. By keeping oxygen at the bottom of the pond not only will the aerobic bacteria reduce muck, it also will help keep up with new organics that are getting into the pond, such as leaves, grass clippings, dying weeds, and algae.

Eliminates odors: The continual circulation of the water drives off offensive gases as they are formed.

Improves water clarity: If poor water clarity is caused by either organic particles that are in suspension or solution, increasing the dissolved oxygen content of the water will promote oxidation and bacterial digestion of the organic material.

Prevents summer & winter fish kills: Both summer and winter fish kills are caused by oxygen depletion, generally caused by dying vegetation or a sudden turn over of the waterway, the aeration system can maintain a good oxygen supply in the waterway all year long.

Improves fish growth: Maintaining oxygen at the bottom of the waterway causes the nutrients normally trapped at the bottom to be channeled up through the fishes food cycle, increasing the amount of available food for the fish and increasing their growth rate.

Supports larger fish populations: By maintaining good oxygen levels through out the waterway, the living space for the fish is increased allowing for larger fish populations.
