Fountains & Aeration Systems
If you have a large pond or smaller lake that is stagnant or needs a little focal point of interest. A pond & lake fountain or aeration system may be what you are looking for. Fountains add the dramatic looks and sounds of water, while enhancing aeration of your water. Aeration adds oxygen to your water and promotes a healthy ecosystem.
Pond & Lake aeration systems utilize a shore-mounted air pump that pumps compressed air to an air diffuser plate on the pond’s bottom. As the air rises from the diffuser plate at the bottom, it creates a convection air current that slowly and steadily turns the water body over. Bringing the deeper waters up to the top of your pond to interact with the natural air not only adds oxygen to the water but helps circulate as well. It is this rapid turnover of water and interaction that lies at the heart of the Aeration System.

Floating Decorative Pond Fountains can be very beautiful, as well as beneficial to all aquatic life, they help replenish the supply of oxygen which usually is lacking in stagnant ponds. The constant circulation of water helps in the process of de-stratification, or in other words...helps breakup the column of water in the pond (normally the upper 4-6 feet portions of the pond) where most of the algae growth begins. Floating Fountains help to eliminate odors and other pests that are normally found with stagnant water.
