Are you troubled by these common pond and lake problems? Algae blooming, fish kills, muck accumulation, turbid water, foul odors, and swarming pests can all plague bodies of water. Algae growth is a natural part of pond and lake ecosystems, with photosynthesis producing organics and oxygen. However, in eutrophic conditions, algae can rapidly proliferate, leading to unsightly, foul-smelling water and fish die-offs. Insufficient dissolved oxygen makes it impossible for fish to get the oxygen they need, especially in deeper waters. Simultaneously, algal toxins can also threaten their survival. Without water-cleaning organisms on the bottom, sediment, debris, and nutrients accumulate, forming an undesirable "muck" layer. This muck can be suspended throughout the water body, causing a murky appearance. Oxygen primarily enters non-aerated ponds at the surface, and due to thermal stratification, the bottom becomes depleted of oxygen, allowing harmful gases to build up. The eutrophication driven by excess nutrients also provides a breeding ground for problematic insects.
So how can these issues be resolved? The HQUA-PAS Pond & Lake Aeration System offers an effective solution. Eutrophication and insufficient dissolved oxygen are often the root causes of these problems. There must be a balance between oxygen demand and supply in the pond or lake system. Bodies of water lacking enough oxygen struggle to handle nutrient overloads, especially phosphorus. The HQUA-PAS20 diffused aeration system "turns the lake over," adding oxygen at all levels in the most efficient and cost-effective way to achieve a healthy equilibrium.
The system components include a high-quality EPDM non-stick 10" membrane diffuser with a 12" square plastic steel base for stability, and a reliable, continuous-duty HQUA-PAS20RPC rocking piston compressor. The compressor features rubber mounts to reduce noise and vibration, an airflow valve manifold for individualized aeration control, and an air filter to maximize compressor lifespan. Rated for ponds up to 3 acres and 50 feet deep, this aeration system can effectively address a variety of common water body problems.
Established in 2016, HQUA has provided over 100,000 U.S. households with affordable, reliable, and responsible water treatment solutions, from indoor drinking water systems to outdoor pond and pool equipment. By focusing on water issues, both indoor and outdoor, HQUA aims to improve quality of life through innovative, high-performance products.
