FAQ
How do I know if my dam needs aeration?
If your water’s looking a little too “still life”, think surface scum, algae blooms, fish gasping, or a smell that says “something’s brewing”, it’s time to add some oxygen. Aeration breathes life into stagnant water and restores natural balance.
What exactly does a dam aeration system do?
In short? It gives your water a breath of fresh air. Aeration systems infuse oxygen into the water, preventing stratification, reducing algae, and supporting aquatic health. It’s essential for everything from irrigation dams to estate ponds and fishing lakes.
Can I add aeration to an existing dam or pond?
Absolutely. Retrofitting is one of our specialties. After a quick site assessment, we’ll recommend the right setup to revive your water body without major disruption.
Are aeration systems energy efficient?
Yes. We design for performance and power savings. Whether you opt for a low-voltage diffuser or a solar-powered setup, we keep your operating costs low and your efficiency high.
Can aeration systems run off-grid or solar power?
They sure can. Our solar-powered options are perfect for remote or power-scarce sites. Quiet, reliable, and with minimal maintenance, they keep things flowing 24/7, no plug needed.
Is aeration noisy or an eyesore?
Not at all. Diffused aeration systems run quietly from a weatherproof box you can tuck away neatly. Prefer something a bit showy? Surface aerators double as decorative fountains, popular with golf courses and estates that want form and function.
How often does the system need maintenance?
Most setups only need attention twice a year. If you’re running a bigger or more demanding system, we might suggest quarterly checks. We also offer tailored maintenance plans to keep things smooth and simple.
Does aeration completely eliminate algae?
It tackles the root causes, like low oxygen and poor circulation, which makes future blooms unlikely. While it won’t magic away existing algae overnight, it sets your water up for long-term clarity and health.
What’s more efficient, a fountain or a diffused system?
For deeper or larger dams, diffused air systems win the efficiency race. They circulate the entire water column with minimal energy use. Fountains are ideal for aesthetics and surface oxygenation, especially in shallower or high-visibility areas.
What’s the difference between an aerator and a fountain?
Think of it like this:
- Aerators (usually diffused systems) work from the bottom up, moving water vertically to boost oxygen at all depths.
- Fountains spray water into the air, aerating the surface while making a visual splash. We’ll help you choose based on your goals, clarity, beauty, or both.
