How do aerators improve water quality?

 

Aeration in dams, ponds and lakes works by increasing the oxygen levels in the water, which is essential for maintaining a healthy aquatic ecosystem. This process involves introducing air—either diffusers placed at the bottom of the water body or through surface aerators—which agitate and circulate the water, encouraging gas exchange with the atmosphere. Oxygen entering the water supports fish and "good" [aerobic, oxygen-loving] bacteria while releasing harmful gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfides.

 

Higher oxygen levels support the growth of "good" bacteria, which play a key role in consuming excess nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus, that would otherwise fuel the growth of algae and weeds. These bacteria also help break down organic sludge that accumulates on the bottom, further reducing the nutrient load in the water.

 

As a result, aeration not only improves water clarity and fish health but also leads to a natural reduction in algae, weeds, sludge and odour.
