Adding oxygen to water improves water quality
Oxygen is the main factor in pond water quality. Not only do fish and other aquatic animals need it, but oxygen breathing aerobic bacteria decompose organic matter. Pond bottoms of organic soils demand larger amounts of oxygen. When oxygen concentrations is becoming low -- a pond aeration system will improve water quality, and create water circulation.
Aerobic Bacteria need oxygen to function.
Aeration speeds up this process of oxidizing organic and mineral pollution. In fact, if there is sufficient aeration, the fish will be able to survive, where before they suddenly died.
Pond Aeration -- By pumping compressed air out to the bottom of a pond or lake with the use of a diffuser -- diffuser will produce tiny air bubbles -- the rising air bubbles and the friction caused in the water will bring bottom water to the surface where it is exposed to the atmosphere. Large volumes of water thus loose moxious gasses to the atmosphere, water picks up oxygen while circulating at the surface.
Natural bacteria are stimulated by aeration and circulation and they will feed on muck, organics and the food that normally feeds algae blooms or aquatic plants growth. Using aeration and bacteria is often a safe and sound form of pollution removal.
