Pond Aeration Kits

Many pond owners underestimate (in our opinion) the ultimate power of a good aeration system.

While it's true that buying a pond aerator does require some consideration, and there is a cost involved, the fact is that if you get one that's suited for your pond's needs, it will more than pay for itself over the average operating time frame of most systems.

Over the years of use, aeration not only adds to the health and vitality of a pond, while it protects your fish, it also helps to lessen the need for routine treatments and additives.

It's well documented that most algae problems result from high nutrient loads in the water, and much of this comes from a build up of organic material in the pond. Nature has designed a pond to clean itself of much of this build up however the use of chemicals and environmental conditions can deplete this very important biological cleansing action.

Since aerobic bacteria is the main tool for doing this work, good dissolved oxygen levels are vital to supporting the process. Many ponds, and particularly deep ponds will have low oxygen levels at the bottom, which is where much of this cleaning takes place.

Aeration allows an increase in circulation and a very mild action at the surface which helps the transfer of dissolved oxygen into the pond, then it moves this oxygen across the surface and down into the depths of the pond.

Aeration can help minimize thermal layers in a pond and keep the surface from freezing if used in the winter. All of these are highly useful to maintaining the health of the pond.

Want to get more out of any bacteria supplementation you might do? Aeration is the key to this, which is why we support it so highly. Rather than use additives month after month, aeration can often allow you to supplement with bacteria for only a month or two, and then let aeration support the ongoing work of balancing the pond.

If You Love Fish...Get Aeration

Fish health is often important to any pond owner, and whether we're talking about game fish, koi, or gold fish, all of them require good oxygen levels to stay healthy.

Waterfalls and other tools for increasing movement and circulation in the water are good, but they may not always be enough. In the heat of summer, when the water temperature get's over 78 degrees, the oxygen holding capacity of the water will drop quickly...which is why some folks lose many fish in stressful times like this. To guard against this problem, aeration is your best bet.

There are aeration kits and systems available for any size of pond. Simply choose the product that best suits the gallons size and layout of your pond.
