Pond aeration is a crucial component in the health and functionality of your feature. Our customers use our Air compressor for aeration systems of the lake, pond, and waterfall in the US.
An aeration system works to evenly mix water temperature from the top to the bottom of a pond and eliminate the thermocline. Your pond fish will be happier with the cooler water temps in the summer and aeration can also help your fish survive the winter too. In colder climates where ice covers a pond for 3 or 4 months at a time, DO levels reach an all-time low. The ice acts like a cap preventing oxygen transfer between the water/atmosphere interfaces. As the winter progresses, DO levels continue to drop and a fish kill can result. Aeration works to move warmer water from the bottom of the pond to the top and can keep an area of the surface free of ice. This allows oxygenation of the pond. However, the open water can weaken surrounding ice, so precautions should be taken to prevent children or pets from walking out on the ice.
Lake aeration should be an essential part of any pond management plan. It is arguably one of the best ways to achieve a healthy pond ecosystem. It provides oxygen to the bottom of a pond and allows aerobic bacteria to break down organic sediments and pull nutrients from the water. Lake and pond aeration allows faster oxygenation of a pond’s water volume to keep fish happy and regulates the temperature keeping summertime water temps cooler.
The air compressor is the primary piece of the aeration system, it is the pump that produces the compressed air that is delivered to the bottom of the pond. The air compressor is paced on the shore or near the pond, but with additional tubing it can be placed several hundred feet away from the pond. UN-60P-OXY & UN-80P-OXY air compressors can simplify your pond and lake management. The compressors are available in 110V or 220V, therefore; compatible with most power system standards throughout the world. These air compressors’ usage is manageable compared to other water purification systems. This also improves its versatility as it allows the user to maneuver around tasks and carry them around whenever necessary.
The oil-less operation of these air compressors makes them an environmentally friendly application. In this, farmers and environmental experts can comfortably use the compressor in lake and pond treatment without affecting the health of the aquatic organisms. Also, the compressor’s high flow rate improves its performance, enhancing the faster execution of complicated tasks.
Environmental professionals can also use it in aeration systems including sewage aeration, and other deep-water applications.
