Pond/Lake Aeration
TurnPro Aquatics is proud to partner with the leading manufacture in diffused air systems-Vertex Water Features. Whether it's algae problems of the summer months or the icing of winter months, our aeration systems can help prevent fishkill. We can customize a system for your lake or pond. Just give us a call or send us an email, we will be glad to answer any questions you may have!
Lake and Pond Aeration Benefits:
- Prevents fish kill
- Eliminates foul odors
- Destroys pathogenic bacteria
- Oxidizes and removes bottom muck
- Reduces midge flies and mosquitoes
- Reduces nutrient levels and algae growth
- Clarifies and circulates entire water column
- Improves fisheries by expanding oxygenated habitat
- Increases dissolved oxygen levels from top to bottom
- SAFE - no electricity in the water
Summer Months
As the water warms, oxygen can be consumed faster than it can be replenished. The warmer, oxygen-rich upper water lays on top of the cooler, more dense, lower-exygen water. This inhibits levels of beneficial bacteria and their breakdown of organics. Bottom muck and nutrients accumulate enabling plant/algae growth and makes conditions favorable for the production of noxious ammonia and hydrogen sulfide gases.
Moving the lower-oxygen water from the bottom increases the oxygen levels throughout the water columns preventing fish kills. This allows fish to expand their territory to formerly oxygen-deprived protions of the lake improving sport fisheries.
Symptons
- Unsightly algae
- Fish kills
- Foul odors
- Poor water clarity
- Muck accumulation
- Excessive mosquito and midge fly population
Causes
- Low oxygen levels
- Stagnant water / poor circulation
- Temperature / oxygen stratification
- High nutrient levels
- Hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide gases
- Low levels of beneficial bacteria
