Adding air to your water garden, koi pond, farm pond or lake enhances the water quality by increasing the ability of the natural beneficia to do its' job. Naturally occuring bacteria thrives in highly oxygenated water. A healthy bacterial population transforms waste from fish and other organic sources, like plants and animals around the pond. You can further increase water quality by adding enzymes and bacteria that are produced in a lab from natural sources and sold in our store or at the 'Algae Control and Water Quality Supplies' link found on the right side of this page.
The bubbling action of the air diffusers creates a current from the bottom of the pond to the surface. This movement causes increased surface area of the pond by keeping the water constantly in motion. The currents reduce the ability for toxic gasses and compounds to accumulate at the bottom of the pond. This can be a great way to reduce or eliminate wintertime or early spring fish kills. The moving water will keep a hole in the ice, preventing gas buildup under the ice.
If electricity is not available near the farm pond or lake, the air pump can be installed in a remote location such as a garage or house up to 1000 feet away for the lake sized systems (AM30 and AM60) and 300 feet for the Koi pond aeration Kits (Air 1 and Air 2). The air line can be installed in a trench all the way to the pond.
In the case of a koi pond, warmer air from the house or garage will help keep more of the surface open

Pond and Lake Aeration
Shore mounted aeration system
Aeration Benefits:
Increases oxygen levels to ensure healthy pond life
Helps limit large-scale algae blooms by increased circulation of water from the bottom of the pond to the top.
Lowers toxic gases and ammonia by active movement of the entire water column.
Reduces chance of fish kill during the winter by keeping a hole open on the water's surface.
Aeration for small farm ponds to larger lake systems
Utilizing the movement caused by the rising bubbles of water, the Airmax Aeration System gives an effective and quiet method of algae control. The bubbles bring water up from the bottom of the pond, oxygenating the entire pond, making a great place for algae controlling bacteria to thrive! An aerated pond in the winter will reduce the threat of a fish kill from decomposing organic debris.♥ Easy installation! ♥
