What You Need to Know About Pond Aeration
There is nothing as fulfilling in a garden than adding to the landscape. It is simply breathtaking. However, ponds come with a lot of responsibility. They require a lot of maintenance work. You cannot afford to let the plant and animal life in your pond die just because you may have not understood a couple of things about caring for a pond. This is why you need to learn as much as you can about pond aeration.
Pond aeration is critical for pond life due to a variety of reasons. To begin with, it serves to renew the level of oxygen in your pond. All plant and animal life will die without this oxygen. Oxygen levels in ponds become low due to the presence of waste matter and certain types of microorganisms. Waste matter adds chemicals to the pond diluting the oxygen in the pond while these microorganisms use oxygen as fuel for their bodily functions. In general, pond aeration is important because it makes your pond healthier, cleaner and safer for animal and plant life. Now you should know a bit about pond aerators as you know about pond aeration.
Pond aerators are pieces of equipment that you may use to aerate a pond. There are two types of pond aerators. The first one is the bottom pond aerator while the other is the surface pond aerator. The surface pond aerator begins its work at the top i.e. at the pond’s surface and then pushes the oxygen down to the floor of the pond. A surface pond aerator is useful for shallow ponds. Bottom pond aerators work in the opposite way i.e. they begin at the pond’s bottom and push oxygen through the pond and up to the surface of the pond. These pond aerators are suitable for deep ponds
