Overview

Aeration systems utilize a shore-mounted air pump that delivers air to specialized diffusers that are located on the pond bottom. Resulting in a column of rising bubbles that circulates water throughout the pond, eliminating a change in temperature or thermocline. With increased oxygen and added natural bacteria, any excess nutrients in the pond or lake are metabolized, resulting in cleaner, clearer water and less muck. Results you can see in just 90 days!

Aeration circulates the water and increases oxygen, providing long-term benefits and reducing overall maintenance. Aeration is a key step in the Airmax Ecosystem, a simple 3 step approach to pond and lake management. The Airmax Ecosystem is the industry-leading method to achieve a clean, clear, thriving aquatic ecosystem. Learn more about the Airmax Ecosystem.
