Need for Aeration in ornamental lakes and ponds

Aeration of ornamental ponds and lakes as well as recreational fisheries is vital to ensure a balanced and health aquatic environment.  Oxygen plays a critical role in the majority of natures natural systems, fish rely entirely upon oxygen that is dissolved in water to breathe.  Problems that are common in man made and artificial ponds, lakes and water features such as the nuisance caused by algae, the build up of sediment as silt and sour odours can be attributed to low and depleted dissolved oxygen.

Depleted oxygen can be introduced into a waterbody through aeration, whilst this can in very simply by diffusion by disrupting the surface of the water, this is very inefficient and often will have little if no effect whatsoever at elevating dissolved oxygen levels.  To increase dissolved oxygen levels it will be necessary to support the physical attributed of water in holding oxygen in a dissolved form by forcing air into the water with equipment such as the purposely designed range of Oase aerators.  These are effective for:-

• Bodies of water on golf courses
• Fish hatcheries
• Bodies of water in zoos
• Natural ponds and lakes
• Swim ponds
• Architectural bodies of water
