When is aeration the most necessary?

Periods of Overcast Conditions

When the sun is shining, plants put oxygen into the water. Lack of sunshine caused by sudden overcast weather blocks photosynthesis in aquatic vegetation (whether it’s lily pads or a beneficial planktonic algae bloom). Overnight, plants and fish utilize the oxygen produced during the daylight hours. If the plants/fish use more oxygen than is available, a fish kill occurs. When no oxygen has the chance to be produced during the day due to overcast weather, that is typically when we see fish kills happen. This can occur very rapidly and with little warning; all it takes are a few consecutive hours of low oxygen conditions to cause a fish kill.

Very Hot Water Temperatures

Hot water is less capable of retaining oxygen molecules than cooler water. This is another reason that fish kills typically happen during the summer months.

High Wind Events

While this might seem counterintuitive, wind mixing causes deeper water, which has low oxygen concentrations, to suddenly mix with surface water and reduce the overall pond oxygen supply very rapidly. In addition, chemical byproducts in deep pond water, such as carbon dioxide, can further stress fish when a pond is mixed by high winds. This is the same reason that diffused aeration systems must be slowly phased in on a timer when added to ponds, so as to prevent a sudden pond turnover.

Fountains versus Aerators: Which one do I need?

The main, most important difference between an aerator and a fountain in a pond is their intended purpose. A fountain is primarily installed for aesthetic purposes and relaxing ambient noise - they are decorative, with only slight/secondary benefits added in the way of water oxygenation. An aerator is installed specifically to introduce oxygen to the water for the overall health of the pond. Fountains are beautiful and certainly a great addition to any pond, but do not rely on them solely for aeration purposes. If anything, we would recommend coupling a fountain with an aeration system for best results. 


 There are several benefits to using an aerator in a pond:

  1. Increases oxygen levels: Aeration helps to increase the level of dissolved oxygen in the water, which is essential for the survival of fish and other aquatic life, such as beneficial zooplankton (in a pond ecosystem, zooplankton play an important role as a food source for many aquatic animals, including fish, amphibians, and birds. They also help to control the population of phytoplankton, which can become overabundant and cause problems such as algal blooms).
  2. Improves water quality: By increasing the oxygen levels, aeration helps to reduce the buildup of harmful substances such as algae, which can improve the overall water quality.
  3. Reduces odors: Aeration can help to reduce the formation of unpleasant odors caused by the buildup of organic matter in the water.
  4. Promotes healthy fish and plants: Aeration can help to promote the growth of healthy fish and aquatic plants by providing them with the oxygen they need to survive.
  5. Helps to prevent fish kills: In the absence of aeration, dissolved oxygen levels can drop, leading to fish kills. Aeration can help prevent this from happening by providing the fish with the oxygen they need to survive.
  6. Enhances aesthetic value: Aeration can enhance the aesthetic value of a pond by creating water movement and by adding oxygen to the water, which can help to keep the water clear.


What are the common culprits of fish kill events?

 Fish kills due to oxygen deprivation can occur for a variety of reasons, including:

  1. Natural causes: During the summer, when the water is warm, oxygen levels can drop due to increased bacterial activity and algae growth, which can lead to fish kills.
  2. Overstocking: When there are too many fish in a pond or lake, oxygen levels can drop to the point where fish can no longer survive.
  3. Human activities: certain human activities like construction, dredging, damming and other water body modification can also reduce oxygen levels and lead to fish kills.
  4. Drought: low rainfall and low water levels can increase the water temperature and reduce the oxygen levels of the water, leading to fish kills.
  5. Low water flow: when water flow is low, the water can become stagnant, leading to a decrease in oxygen levels and fish kills.
