Capacity and Specifications
The included 3/4HP compressor is suitable for effective aeration of dams up to 4 acres in surface area. The lockable cabinet can be mounted onto a concrete slab, where airlines can be concealed through plumbing, minimising the appearance of airlines and providing a durable and permanent fixture for air compression.
Why Aeration is Important for Dams
Aeration is one of the most universally beneficial management options for improving water quality and conditions in a dam. Dam aerators distribute fine bubbles of air through air diffusers, which cycles deeper layers of water, and dissolves oxygen into the water body. Dissolved oxygen and a healthy circulation of water are important for natural processes and microbial activity that support the health of a waterbody, and develop a natural and self-sustaining ecosystem capable of supporting fish, crustaceans, aquatic plants and waterbirds.
Key Benefits
- Increases dissolved oxygen (DO)
- Improves water clarity
- Reduces fish deaths
- Prevents thermal stratification
- Minimises odour and algae growth
Installation
The Pondmax deluxe aeration Kit includes 4 subsurface dam bed air diffuser stations. Subsurface aeration is most effective for deeper dams (>2.5m), pumping air to the bottom of the dam to enable complete circulation, and break up stratified layers of water. Diffuser stations should be placed in the deepest parts of the dam, distributed evenly using 3/8″ weighted airline (sold separately). The included air stations may require anchoring depending on the positioning, but comes with attachment points on a base plate for weights or ties.
