What are the criteria to be considered while choosing an aerator system?
- Aeration Vs. Decorative: Decorative aeration using Pond Fountains can aesthetically transform a pond into an elegant feature of the property. If aeration is the single most requirement, then installation of fountain is not necessary.
- Surface Vs. sub surface aeration: If the need is for a consistent, large-scale aeration, it is most recommended to use an underwater (sub surface) aerator. Surface aeration is typically the preferred option for shallow water (ponds 1.8m to 2m deep or shallower).
- Surface area & Depth of the water body: The efficiency of diffused-air systems is primarily a function of bubble size and diffuser depth. Diffusers that produce smaller bubbles, commonly referred to as fine-pore diffusers, are more efficient than diffusers that produce large or coarse bubbles. Smaller bubbles have more surface area relative to their volume, which facilitates more efficient oxygen transfer. Additionally, when the bubbles are released at a greater depth, allow more contact time for the bubbles to diffuse oxygen into the water column as they rise to the surface. This means that diffuser Oxygen Transfer Rate (OTR) increases with depth.
- Shape of the pond: This will impact the placement of the diffusers for optimal results. Please see the figure below the understand different diffuser placements based on the shape of the pond.
Available power: In the case of a remote pond location where access to electric power is not available, an option to install a diffused aerator is possible using Windmill aerators.
