Aeration

Aeration

Oxygen is the lifeline to every aquatic ecosystem. While waterfalls and fountains can raise your levels, they usually aren’t enough to improve water quality. Fish, plants and beneficial bacteria all need oxygen and having a good aeration system can vastly improve the health of your pond.

If you wake to find your fish gasping at the surface, they’re not looking for food, they’re after oxygen. This is because plants consume oxygen during the night and can end up depriving your fish if what they take is not replaced. Because of this, a pond aerator should run 24 hours a day 7 days a week to ensure the aeration is maintained. This will help you avoid this and other issues.

Please note: Koi ponds and ponds with high numbers of fish need more aeration than water pumps can provide. Air diffusers combined with air pumps should be used in all Koi ponds or ponds with lots of fish.
