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
