\n\t\t\t\tNatural Pond & Lake Aeration\n\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\"maxresdefault\"\n\t

\u200bAeration is an important part of any pond’s ecosystem. Many ponds are troubled with low oxygen levels due to stagnant water, or an overabundance of decomposing matter. Unless managed properly, a pond or lake may quickly change from a beautiful asset, to a foul smelling eyesore, overtaken with algae, weeds, and insects.<\/p>\n

In today’s ever-increasing expansion and development, many ponds and lakes have become runoff receptacles, complete with nutrient-rich sediment, aquatic weeds, algae, and a multitude of other problematic concerns.<\/p>\n

Aeration is all about gases.<\/strong> Aeration mixes the pond so that toxic gases are efficiently released and life-giving oxygen readily replaces it. An aerated pond will be clearer, cleaner, healthier, and have less bottom muck than a pond without aeration. \u200b<\/p>\n

A pond without aeration will become stratified into two very separate layers in the summer heat due to the physical properties of water. As the sun warms the surface water, it becomes less dense and thereby lighter than the cool water below it. The line at which these two layers separate (similar to oil floating on water) is called the thermocline.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tSurface Aeration vs. Bottom Aeration\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Regardless of runoff and debris coming into your waterway, natural processes such as photosynthesis can cause weeds and algae bloom. This process is increased with additional organic and synthetic nutrients, low oxygen levels, warmer water temperatures, and poor circulation.<\/p>\n
