Aeration Kits & Systems

When deciding which aeration system will work best for your pond, it is important to take into account both size and shape.

 

Size: You can easily calculate the size of your pond with the following equation = Length x Width / 43,560 = Pond Size in Acres (If you find your pond is between pond sizes, always round up!)

Example: A pond is 600 feet long and 120 feet long, 600 x 120 / 43,560 = 1.65 Acres, so the best system for the pond would be the SAS2.

 

Shape: Round ponds provide more effective aeration than irregular or narrow shaped ponds. Typically, one double diffuser per acre at the center of a circular pond will provide sufficient aeration. Contrarily, narrow, long, or irregular shaped ponds often need two or more diffusers in order to circulate the entirety of the water volume.

It may be beneficial to look at your pond from an aerial view on a software such as Google Earth to get a better idea of the shape.

Air Pumps

Air Pumps are the perfect choice to create and maintain a healthy pond environment. These quiet, energy efficient pumps enhance oxygen levels and help circulate the water in your Koi pond. Air Pumps add needed oxygen to Koi ponds in hot summer months when oxygen levels decline. In the winter, Air Pumps help break down fish waste and prevent pond surfaces from completely freezing, allowing toxic gasses to harmlessly escape. Promotes growth of algae controlling beneficial bacteria which reduces algae. Air Pumps are an excellent emergency backup in case your main pump breaks down and you need to wait for the new one to arrive.
