Solar Powered Aerator
Create a Pond You Can Be Proud Of With a Solar Powered Aerator
At Harrietta Hills, many of our clients have a very specific vision of what they want their pond or lake to look like. Whether they have a small swimming hole, a lake for fishing, or a wild and woodsy nature attractor – our clients want their pond or lake to be healthy. And the way to maintain a healthy water system is through aerating the water to improve circulation and oxygenation. One way to do this is with a solar powered aerator.
Do I Need a Lake Aerator?
While it is true a pond doesn’t need an aerator, installing one can improve the look and functionality of your pond. All living things need oxygen to survive. An aerator circulates oxygen through the water at all depths. This process of aeration creates a more supportive environment for fish and eliminates dangerous conditions that can lead to fish kills. Having a properly aerated pond or lake also prevents the water from becoming stagnant. Stagnant water not only produces a foul odor but also encourages the growth of algae and the spreading of insects such as mosquitos. If you are having any of these problems with your pond or lake, installing an aeration system can help improve the health and life span of your pond.
At Harrietta Hills, we have several options for you to choose from including solar-powered aerators, windmills, fountains, and diffused aeration systems. We can even design and install a custom system to meet your needs.
What type of aerator should I buy?
When you are looking to buy an aerator, there are several factors to consider. First is the size of your lake or pond. If you have a shallow body of water (less than 6 feet), then you might want to consider a fountain. For larger bodies of water or ponds that are more than 6 to 10 feet deep, you will need a bottom diffuser that brings low oxygen water to the surface to be reoxygenated and release gasses that can be harmful to fish populations within the pond.
Another factor to consider is the location of your pond. If your pond is close enough to a grid system, then an electric compressor could work for you. However, if your pond is not located near enough to a grid system or you want to use an alternate source of energy, a solar-powered aerator or windmill would be a good fit for you. A solar-powered aerator uses energy from the sun during daylight hours and banks oxygen for later so you do not have to purchase or maintain expensive batteries. We also sell solar pond fountains for smaller ponds off the grid.
