Pond aerators
are used to circulate the water so that the oxygen from the surface
can reach the bottom of the pond. Pond aerators also prevent dirt
from becoming sludge on the bottom. The dirt is picked up by the skimmers
and then trapped in the filter basket cleaning the water. Pond aerators
are especially important in ponds where there are no drains.
Some pond aerators have pond heaters or deicers attached to them.
This is especially helpful as to purchase these two pieces of equipment
separately is very expensive. Look for pond aerators that act as filters,
as well. This helps keep the algae in check and maintains the delicate
balance of your pond’s ecosystem.
