  How does it work? Bubbles are distributed along the length of a weighted bubble airline using compressed air. As the bubbles rise, they form a bubble “curtain” of warmer water from the bottom of the pond towards the surface. Water temperature is the primary factor that is going to influence de-icing. The depth, size and shape of the water body will also factor into heat retention. Pond Pro Canada has completed several in-house studies looking at the de-icing ability of our …

It is the fall season, the temperature is getting cooler, but you still see algae in your pond. You might be asking yourself: “should I still treat my pond?” This is a very common question asked by our customers and the answer depends on what you are trying to achieve. Algaecide: Naturally, algae begin to clear as the water temperature drops. This can be a slow process. Depending on what region you are in, your pond may still have algae late in the year.

Effect of heat on your pond The warming temperatures that accompany summer weather increase the likelihood of adverse effects on ponds and lakes. Intense sunlight and high ambient air temperatures can raise water temperatures, which can negatively impact the pond ecosystem. Such negative impacts include the following: Higher temperatures reduce oxygen solubility in water, meaning warmer water holds less oxygen. Warmer water increases biological activity, which in turn requires more oxygen upta …
