Aeration Importance

Importance of Pond Aeration

One of the most important parts of a healthy pond is proper aeration. Often overlooked, aeration can be the difference from a bright green, algae-filled pool to a crystal-clear thriving fish pond. Most ornamental fish require clean, cool, well-oxygenated water. Improperly aerated water will be low in dissolved oxygen. It can also stratify the water column and create different layers of water quality. Water column stratification is the most common cause of hair algae. Properly aerating the water will create a healthy environment for your pool fish.

Determining how much aeration is necessary can require some trial and error. The method for proper water flow is to pump the entire pond through the filter at least once per hour. Depending on the shape, size, and structure of your fish pond, the flow from the filtration system may not properly aerate the entire pond. This is the most common mistake. If the filter is external, the flow may be returned to the pond using a stream or waterfall. This may diffuse the current and create low flow areas on the opposite side of the pond. Also by adding an additional outlet from the main flow you can correct this problem. Many pond owners will add supplemental flow through a dedicated pump or air -pump. This will ensure proper flow through the filtration system, and proper aeration in the pond.

Proper aeration can also prevent mosquito reproduction. Mosquitoes prefer stagnant pools of water, and an aerated pond will not be preferred. This will also ensure a safe outdoor environment for you and your family.
