To ensure your pond or lake is visually appealing above the surface, oxygen is essential beneath the water’s surface to sustain aquatic life and plants. A fountain, acting as a water feature that sprays water into the air, is not only visually appealing but also mixes air with water, helping to add oxygen. An aerator, similar to an underwater or above-water movement fan, stirs the water around, ensuring a fresh supply of oxygen as well. This extra oxygen and water movement are critically important for the fish and small creatures living in the water. It makes breathing easier for them, keeps their homes clean by breaking down debris such as fish waste, and prevents the water from becoming too warm and stagnant in one spot. Moreover, it hinders the growth of algae which turns the water green and smelly. This reduction in algae growth also means fewer mosquitoes, as their offspring thrive in still, stagnant water. By keeping the water moving and oxygen-rich, fountains and aerators enhance ponds and lakes, making them livelier and more enjoyable for all.
