Pond Stratification:Over time, as the water in a pond remains stagnant, plants and animals that live in the pond slowly pollute the water. The waste of fish, birds, and microscopic organisms, settle to the bottom along with leaves and other organic matter that have fallen into the pond. It is the natural decomposition of this material that toxifies the pond’swaters.
The oxygen consumed by animals, weeds, algae, and other microscopic organisms is not replaced in sustainable amounts from surface diffusion but it is unable to adequately circulate in the pond. Sunlight cannot penetrate to the deeper areas of the pond through the weeds and algae that thrive in this type of environment. This creates cold zones in the bottom layers of the pond. Beneficial organisms that breakdown organic material no longer have enough oxygen or light to survive and begin to die off. As a result a “dead zone” forms at the bottom of the pond.
Pond Aeration:Air that is pumped into the bottom of a pond oxygenates and circulates the water. Helpful organisms return and decompose the “muck” found there. The health of fish improves and fish stocks growth. Choking aquatic weeds are reduced, as is pond algae, foul odors and disease causing bacteria. Wildlife thrives in the area around the pond; including wildlife that consumes mosquitoes and their larvae. The effects of pond aeration should become visible within one month of installation.
Company:Maya Aeration Resources’ mission is to create a successful company that is able to provide chemical free products and services to help pond owners clean, use, and enjoy their ponds.
