Lake aeration - Pond aeration

 Diffused Aeration / Bottom up aeration /  is just a few terms used to define this type of system. it works on the same principle as a fish aquarium aeration sytem; its just on a larger scale. See our line of equipment below. We have from the smallest water garden aeration kit to a system that can aerate up to a 90' deep lake.

There are three factors that affect the efficiency of the pond aeration diffuser – the size of the bubbles, the depth of the pond, and the placement of the air diffuser.

The Deeper a diffuser is located, the more boiling action it will create and a larger area will be affected. See the charts and graphs below to help you size the correct system for you. You can always request a  Free proposal. 

  In order to aerate deeper ponds, diffused aeraton systems are the best pond aeration kits to use. The reason for this is because air diffusers or diffused aerators are laid on the bottom of the deep pond which is why they are also called lake bed aerators or bottom up aeration systems.

  This maximizes the aeration of the pond because aeration starts on the bottom going upwards by means of the pond aeration tubing and a pond aerator pump, regardless of how deep the pond is. As the diffused air rises to the surface, oxygen is dissolved throughout the pond. Not only do diffused aerators totally aerate the pond , they are very economical to operate because less energy is used.

  Pushing air through the air diffusers is the most effiecient way to aerate your pond. Although we personally like to use a fountain or suface aerator in waters that are 8' feet and less due to the number of diffuser it may take etc. But it can be done if you desire a more natural look for your pond. More irregular shaped ponds may need a little more planning in your placement of the diffuser so if you have question please call us.

 Diffused pond aeration kits have three basic parts —the pond aeration compressor, the pond aeration tubing, and the pond aeration diffuser. The pond aeration compressor is the device that sits on the shore while it pumps air into the pond aeration tubing and out to the pond aeration diffuser located on the bottom of the pond. Air will then rush out of the aeration diffuser, which is strategically placed on the bottom of the pond.

  When the air is diffused it sends air into thousands of tiny bubbles scrambling to the surface at an average speed of (1 foot) per second aerating the pond for the much needed oxygen. These bubbles don’t only transfer the water from the bottom to the top, they help circulate and de-stratify the pond.

 They also replenish oxygen throughout the water so that aerobic bacteria can clean the pond of toxic gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. The bubbles also create ripples on the surface on the pond. The ripples deflect sunlight preventing it from reaching the bottom of the pond. Without sunlight, algae will not grow on the bottom of the pond. you can go to our Aeration 101 page to learn more and see illistrations.
