As we come closer to the warmer months, it is very important to prepare
for your water management battle. There are many problems such as algae,
mosquitoes, odors, excessive weed growth, and poor water clarity which
adversely affect the overall aquaculture and appearance of your lake or
pond.

During the late spring and summer season, warm surface water traps denser, colder water on the bottom of the pond. This is known as stratification.  Pollutants such as leaves, clippings and fertilizer sink to the bottom and decay, stripping the water of dissolved oxygen. Anaerobic bacteria, which require no oxygen, can thrive in this environment. These bacteria can cause poisonous gases such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and methane to be released. As these gases rise through the water, any remaining oxygen is absorbed causing unpleasant odors and rapid algae growth. This is a leading cause of most fish kills!

Aquatic Aeration Systems "Titanium Series" display aerators take the
deeper, colder water from 30" to desired depth (note: desired depth can be achieved with AAS Bottom Draw Tube) below the surface and forces it into the air through a beautiful display pattern which enables the droplets to
capture atmospheric oxygen. This process is called de-stratification or
aeration. The oxygen is then released back into the water as the droplets
strike the surface. The aerated cooler water is layered on top of the
existing warmer layer, breaking down and eliminating the idle stratification
of oxygen-starved water. De-stratification aides the natural process of
biodegrading algae resulting in cleaner, clearer water. The "Titanium
Series" line of display aerators effectively reaches the source of the problem and solves it naturally and beautifully.  There are many different
horsepower sizes and display aerator patterns that should be used for
specific size ponds.

It is very important to note that fountains do not aerate properly! Most
fountains don't push a high enough volume of water to effectively aerate a
pond or lake.  Fountains use pumps and nozzles to create a wide range of display patterns. This is the main reason they don't aerate and have a very
high tendency to clog. They are a maintenance nightmare! Aquatic Aeration
Systems uses a propeller vs. a pump to move the water. This enables the
"Titanium Series" display aerators to move massive amounts of water while not clogging.  It literally mulches any vegetation that enters our assembly.
Depending on the size of the pond and the horsepower of the "Titanium
Series" display aerator you can expect to aerate the whole pond water
volume several times per week. This gives you the solution to the root
cause of most water management problems.
