Oxygen is essential to all life. This includes the life within your pond. Useable oxygen in the water is called dissolved oxygen. This is used by plants and animals such as fish. Having adequate amounts of dissolved oxygen is critical to your ponds overall health.

Aeration is a great addition to any pond. Adding aeration will provide several benefits to your ponds health. Benefits include…

• Destratification of the water column. Mixing of the water column accomplished by aeration will allow for more uniform dissolved oxygen levels throughout the entire body of water. This greatly reduces the chance of fish kills from oxygen depletion because of pond turnover.
• Increased water quality. Several water quality issues occur when you have an anoxic conditions. By aerating your pond you help ensure adequate oxygen throughout the pond to facilitate healthy natural processes. Aeration will not directly eliminate algae problems but will help reduce the factors that contribute to algae issues with your pond.
• One of those algae reducing factors is nutrient reduction through aeration. Adequate aeration facilitates the binding of phosphorus in the water column. Phosphorus is a primary nutrient that contributes to algae blooms. Once phosphorus is bound in the water it precipitates to the bottom where it is unusable to plants.

There are three primary options that Triangle Pond Management offers when it comes to aerating your pond.

1. Diffused Aeration – This is the best and most efficient way to aerate your pond.
   
2. Surface Aerator – Not as efficient as diffused aeration but gives you a display on the water for aesthetics. Might be adequate for smaller, shallower ponds.
   
3. Display Fountains – Do little in the way of aerating your pond but look great on the water.
