Atlantic | Oase Farm Pond & Lake Aeration SystemsOxygen is essential to the biology of a healthy pond or lake, but it’s often in short supply. Pond AIr, or Aeration systems for larger farm ponds & small lakes are often the right answer. Our Atlantic Oase Professional Contractors come across the same scenario when there isn’t enough oxygen, fish and other aquatic animals can suffocate, thus wastes generate noxious gases and water may start to smell foul. Subsurface aeration brings oxygen levels up, dissipates toxic gases and evens out temperature and saturation levels throughout the water column. Aeration is also the most efficient way to circulate water, moving 10 times as much per watt as water pumps. Finally, aeration greatly accelerates the decomposition of solid and dissolved wastes. Although smaller water features may respond to other strategies, aeration is the only way to effectively manage nutrient removal, algae, water quality and clarity in larger lakes, and may help control pesky pathogens, too

The Complete Atlantic | Oase Pond Aeration SystemLakes and ponds need to “breathe”, diffusing oxygen in from the air to replace what is consumed by aquatic animals, and exhaling toxic gases produced by plants and decomposition. Natural gas exchange is often compromised. Stagnant water exchanges gases more slowly than circulating water. Dust, pollen and debris collect on the ‘skin’ at the surface, impeding diffusion. Dissolved oxygen is temperature dependent so warmer water at the surface holds less oxygen than cooler, denser water below.

Aeration, bacteria, and treatments can help clean, clear, and balance larger ponds and lakes. This guide explains why and how they work and what you need to specify.
Aeration helps lakes breathe, not by “injecting” oxygen, but by vastly increasing the surface area of air in contact with the water. The greater the surface area, the faster oxygen in the air can diffuse into deoxygenated water, and conversely, other gases – carbon dioxide, methane, sulfur dioxide – can diffuse out. Our Atlantic | Oase Professional Contractors can install A compressor pumping air through tubing to air diffusers on the bottom discharge the smallest bubbles possible. The surface area of those tiny bubbles effectively doubles or triples the unassisted rate of gas exchange to maximize and maintain the highest possible level of oxygen. |
Causes Of Improper Water Quality Balance
• Insufficient total dissolved oxygen levels
• Excessive nutrients in the water and the sediment • Stratification and thermoclines that cut off surface oxygen |
Lakes and ponds need to “breathe”, diffusing oxygen in from the air to replace what is consumed by aquatic animals, and exhaling toxic gases produced by plants and decomposition. Natural gas exchange is often compromised. Stagnant water exchanges gases more slowly than circulating water. Dust, pollen and debris collect on the ‘skin’ at the surface, impeding diffusion. Dissolved oxygen is temperature dependent so warmer water at the surface holds less oxygen than cooler, denser water below. Between the two a physical barrier called a thermocline can develop, cutting the depths off from surface oxygen.

Fine Bubble Aeration is the most efficient way to oxygenate and circulate bodies of water over three feet in depth. Air compressors matched to the depth of the pond or lake force air through diffusers placed on or near the bottom of the pond, creating millions of tiny bubbles that push and pull the cooler, denser water from the depths upwards as they rise to the surface. The smaller the bubbles, the more cumulative surface area they have, so fine bubbles work best. The huge surface area of even a modest volume of air helps transfer oxygen directly to the water it contacts, as if the surface of the pond were multiplied many times. More importantly, millions of bubbles rising from the bottom of the pond every minute move tremendous volumes of water to the surface efficiently and inexpensively

Complete Shallow Water Systems for ponds up to 7' deep include Aeration Cabinet assemblies, Shallow Water Diffusers, Weighted Tubing and all necessary fittings. Available in two diffuser and four diffuser configurations.
Ventilation is crucial for proper functioning of components inside of the Cabinet. An inlet at the bottom rear of the Cabinet allows air to be drawn in directly over the Air Compressor as it is pulled out by the fan at the top of the Cabinet, cooling the motor and prolonging the time between servicing. |
Pond & Lake Treatments
Atlantic | Oase Bacterial Water Treatments contain benign naturally occuring bacteria present in ponds, lakes and streams. The only difference between natural colonies of bacteria and the safe, non-toxic formulas in our bacterial products are the concentrations. Atlantic | Oase's bacteria are measured in Colony Forming Units (CFU) with the least potent concentration equal to 1 billion CFU's per gram. That means in every pound of our highly concentrated formulas there are at least 450 billion bacteria ready to safely clean and clear the water in your water feature! |

The Atlantic | Oase Professional Contractor (APC) Program creates mutually beneficial partnership between the water garden professional, the distributor and the manufacturer without being exclusionary or punitive. The APC works in conjunction with the ADC (Atlantic | Oase Distributor Consultant.) In contrast to manufacturer-dominated programs that emphasize loyalty over education, the APC Program is distributor-driven, for a very simple reason - the distributors know their customers best. They know which contractors would most benefit from such a program; they know which customers would prefer to be loyal to the distributor and to Atlantic | Oase and they know best how to select and qualify those contractors.
