Looking at aeration and discussing the most effective way to aerate a pond/lake is something that is dependent on the body of water. For example some bodies of water may have a natural stream that is feeding into the pond/lake, meaning that there is already some natural movement in the water, aerating this would be very different to something that has more of a potential to stagnate due to it being a stand alone body of water.

Being efficient in aeration terms is all about oxygenating the water as quickly as possible using the kit you have, this is where we at Absolute Air & Gas come in to try and assist in aiding with the locationing of the equipment and the best way to utilise the set up.

What Changes When a Pond Has a Stream Coming In?

Benefits of Water Flowing in

When there is a natural flow of water coming into the pond/lake, this has a benefit in the fact that there is already movement happening in the water however small it may seem, this allows you to look at the positioning of the aeration system and where the oxygen enters by using the natural current to move the oxygen round the water.

Challenges with Traditional Aeration Systems

The main challenges that could be faced when looking to set up an aeration system would potentially be getting power to the unit. In some remote locations, the customer may not have power at the point in which they would like to set up the aeration system.

This is something that should be considered when looking at an aeration system, if there isn’t power current available then a generator can be used, or a portable power supply capable of running the unit but we wouldn’t recommend this unless sufficiently housed to be weatherproof.

Why Choose Absolute Environmental for Your Pond Aeration Needs?

When choosing an aeration system, people visit our website and then call us simply due to the experience and expertise we have in the linear pump and compression industry, with the aeration systems being a big part of that in our environmental sector.

Our set-up for aeration has been designed and developed with consistency, efficiency and performance in mind. With Hiblow perfecting and manufacturing their pumps since 1967, by using them as the heart of our system, we are committing to only using the finest pump to power the system as we understand the importance of the system doing the job that is required from it.

Conclusion

Looking at the importance of a balanced ecosystem that allows for wildlife to thrive, and for healthy bacteria to also be able to carry out their function in that balance is paramount. 

When reviewing the aeration and oxygenation of a pond/lake, it is important that if anything the environment has too much oxygen being supplied into it.This is simply to ensure that even when variables such as the warmer weather start to kick in, that the pond/lake has enough coverage that it would never be caught shout and outgunned by the vegetation that can fester on the surface and below the water level.

If you’re unsure on the best option that would be suited to the club we would be happy to discuss this with you and give you some pointers where we can.
