You will be pleasantly surprised at the improvement whether your pond is a potable water source, is used primarily for recreation, or for fish culture. Our bottom diffusion aeration system can give your pond or lake a new lease on life. It can give you clearer and cleaner water. It provides bottom to top circulation which increases dissolved oxygen. This supports the natural processes that can clean up your water for you. Fish are more active with higher dissolved oxygen levels.
The KleenPond aeration system accelerates the digestion of the black smelly, organic bottom deposits that support excessive weed and algae growth. Our aeration system can prevent the costly removal of these deposits with heavy equipment. Tests have shown that bottom deposits can be reduced by up to 6 inches per year near the diffusers with continuous operation and bacterial seeding which speeds up digestion.
Aeration is the single most efficient method of reversing pond and lake aging. Water in older ponds and lakes does not have enough oxygen at the bottom to support fish and other desirable aquatic life. This is due to the gradual build-up of partially decayed organic sediment (fecal waste, dead plants and animals, leaves, yard debris, etc.) This decaying sediment can produce toxic substances such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and methane. There is also the more obvious presence of excessive algae and weed growth that feeds upon this rich fertilizer. Chemical weed treatments only temporarily solve the problem of visible weeds, while their decay aggravates the long term problem by adding even more organic waste. Aeration supports organisms that digest this organic waste into substances that benefit the pond ecosystem.
The KleenPond 
diffusion aeration system consists of an oil free rotary vane continuous duty air compressor enclosed in a weather resistant cabinet with filters and circulation fan. It comes with at
least one diffuser, replacement filters with "o" rings, and nylon ties (for attaching line weight), The diffusers are especially designed to produce bubbles that circulate water to the surface as it
picks up oxygen. The air supply line is usually ½", PVC roll plastic, that can be purchased in rolls of several hundred feet. The diffuser is placed on the bottom of the pond
(preferably in the deepest water). There are many variations to the basic system depending upon the need of the particular body of water. One diffuser is needed for up to one and one-half acres of
water.
There is minimal dead bottom water with this kind of aeration. It gets more oxygen into the water for less money. Water flows from the bottom to the top and then circulates towards the shore in a continuous circuit when the aeration system is running. This effectively breaks up stratification, and makes the entire pond more supportive of fish and the organisms they feed on. Fishing improves because sport fish are more active, even in the warmest weather, and they have a larger food supply. Areas of a pond or lake that have been restricted to aquatic life due to low oxygen will be rejuvenated. Weeds and algae will diminish as the organic material that they feed on is reduced.
Fountain type aerators look great but cost much more to operate, present the hazard of electric lines in the water, and can be a constant headache to maintain.
