PASES Aqua supplies and installs subsurface and fountain aeration systems that activate physical, chemical and biological processes which improve water quality and the ecological character of lakes and wetlands.
The installation of aeration systems in lakes and wetlands can result in significant benefits to the aquatic system, including:
- Increase in dissolved oxygen concentrations essential for aquatic animal respiration
- Accelerate (bacterial) breakdown of organic materials as beneficial bacteria perform at optimal level at higher dissolved oxygen concentration
- Reduces stratification
- Reduces fish kills and increases fish and macro invertebrate habitat
- Reduces algae and eutrophication issues
- Increase water quality and clarity
- Reduce mosquito and midge populations
- Reduce high metal concentrations
- Reduce accumulation of sediments
- Reduce build-up of poisonous gases and release of noxious odours (generated by anaerobic bacteria)

PASES Aqua services the entire Perth area and will travel to more remote locations Australia wide on request. Alternatively we can ship aerations systems Australia wide.
A member of our team will come out to site and:
– discuss any previous knowledge of lake depth contour profiles or measure depths using kayak
– discuss current power supply configurations and decide whether solar or electrical options are the most feasible
– based on above, recommend whether a lake bed / subsurface aerators, or floating fountains would suit
– discuss voltage (single or three phase), wattage and/or desired spray heights and diameters desired
– assess other factors such as water quality, feral fish algae species, plant species etc if client desires to
Most fountain and subsurface aeration systems can be installed in one working day.
Fish deaths, fish struggling for oxygen, algae blooms, smelly water and murky water are some of the many reasons to contact PASES Aqua today and start the process to improved water quality.
This mainly depends on water depth, shallow water suits fountains. Deeper water suits diffusers. However they can both still work and depend on what the customer prefers.
