Lakes & Dams are a valuable resource. They can add beauty to the landscape and can provide endless hours of recreation. To add to this, they create a habitat for many different species of native flora and fauna.
In order to keep these man-made environments healthy we sometimes need to give mother nature a helping hand, aeration of the water body can sometimes be all that is needed to help restore this balance
Water quality determines the health of your lake or Dam and the aquatic organisms living within it. Beneath the surface your lake or dam is a complex biological and physical community supporting everything from microscopic bacteria to fish and plants.
A lake or dams condition deteriorates when its bottom environment cannot support aquatic life. The bottom is where the most oxygen is consumed and the furthest
from the surface where it is replenished. Without adequate oxygen at the bottom, beneficial bacteria do not break down the organic waste. This results inn accumulation of sediment (muck) on the bottom. Simply put: without oxygen, a lake or dam cannot clean itself.
So how do we fix this problem? Aeration is amongst one of the easiest ways to get Oxygen back to where it is needed. This can be achieved with a purpose designed Compressor style Aeration system. (Subsurface Aeration) or an Aerating Fountain for that more aesthetic look.
