AERATION WINDMILLS

Aeration brings life to otherwise stagnant bodies of water.  It provides for the development of good bacteria that will break down all of the dead organic material that has fallen into your pond over the years.  It generates water movement that allows toxic gases to escape from the bottom of the pond.  More than likely though if you are on this page you are already sold on the benefits of aeration; in which I am also a firm believer.  Chemicals are only a temporary solution to long term problem.  

Aeration is a necessary step on the path to creating a cleaner healthier pond.  That said, it is not the be-all end-all.  When I started selling these windmills I expected them to be a silver bullet in the battle against algae, filthy ponds, sulphur smells, and pond muck, but have since learned that 20 years worth of stagnant water, decomposing bullrushes, nutrient overload, etc. does not go away over one night, month, or even one year.  Yet within that first year life does return to the pond, (minnows especially).  All ponds are different and the conditions in my pond are going to be very different from yours.  How you care for your pond in an ongoing manner is what is really going to impact your own results.  Here the snow melt brings in lots of fertilizer runoff from the farmer's field that surrounds our property and the water that comes in off the dark earth is very red-ish, so my water clarity isn't the best.  I plan on bringing in plants that filter and clarify the water, and I will work on minimizing the plant material that continues to fall into the pond, starting with the bullrushes that have taken over the water's edge.  Your pond my have a spring that replenishes the water or a sandy bottom that encourages natural water filtration.  

This is my third year in business and on our pond we have crayfish (crawdads), minnows, ducks, dragonflies, snails, and the little paddling water bugs.  Aeration was the first step and I am very glad I took it.
