Aeration
During the hot summer months oxygen levels in the pond decline. Aerating the water causes movement and the
bubbles from the air pump expose the water to oxygen and help maintain clear water resulting in a healthy ecosystem.
Air Pump Kits
Laguna’s air pump kits are designed to operate efficiently and save energy. The air pump kits include everything needed to help enhance the quality of pond
water during the hot summer months by aerating the water which is crucial for healthier fish and aquatic plant life. Available in two sizes, the kits come
complete with air stones, tubing, 12 outlet metal manifold, and check valve. Certified for outdoor use, no lubrication needed.
Another important season
to install an air pump is
during the winter. It is
important to not let your
pond ice-over because the
oxygen levels in the pond water can
drop to dangerous levels for dormant
fish. By using an air pump to keep
the pond surface from freezing over,
you will allow the toxic gases to
escape eliminating or greatly
reducing the chance of loss.
See page 47 for more winterizing
options for your pond.
