Windmill versus Electric Aeration - 10 things to consider when choosing aeration Technology has advanced so much that the once idealized windmill aeration system is becoming less and less popular. The industry leading electric aeration systems are superior to windmills, in so many ways that an electric aeration system is recommended if power is within 1500 feet. The cost of trenching power to the pond will be made up for in cost-savings and reliability of  high efficiency&nb …

August marks National Water Quality Month, an important time to reflect on the significance of clean water and the essential steps we can take to protect our water sources. National Water Quality Month serves as a reminder of our shared responsibility to safeguard our water resources from pollutants and contaminants. Freshwater sources, including lakes, rivers, and ponds, are essential not only for drinking but also for recreational activities and supporting diverse ecosystems. The quality of wa …

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 Can-Air De-icing Tubi …

If your pond is not stocked with fish then you do not need to run your aeration yea …

Effect of heat on your pondThe warming temperatures that come along with summer weather increase the chances of adverse effects on ponds and lakes. Sunlight and air temperature contribute to the water increasing rapidly which can negatively impact the pond ecosystem. Thermal stratification causes warm water to rise, which depletes oxygen from lower parts of the pond. Low amounts of oxygen in ponds puts fish at risk and gives algae the opportunity to grow. Luckily there are many solutions to keep …
