Wind Powered Aerators

Lake Aid Aqua 1 is a wind-powered aerator that improves the quality of impounded water – i.e. in ponds, lakes and reservoirs.

Deeper impounded water lacking in circulation will often result in thermal 'stratification' i.e. the depletion of dissolved oxygen.

In this instance, the bottom mud (the hydra‐soil) can become oxygen-deficient resulting in anaerobic bacterial activity, causing toxic gases to be released — something that is also very common in shallow waters.

The lack of oxygen stops many life forms from biologically breaking down waste products in the water. This results in toxins failing to be absorbed naturally through the aquatic life cycle of the pond.

Deep circulation is the solution provided by Lake Aid Aqua 1.

This wind-powered mixer greatly increases the natural aeration process, significantly increasing the oxygen transfer rate, by bringing oxygen-depleted water from the deep, to the surface, to absorb atmospheric oxygen.

Within a very short time, the bottom dissolved oxygen levels will be restored, helping to keep the water clear and healthy.

A Lake Aid Aqua 1 wind‐powered aerator introduces turbulence to the water column, disturbing blue-green algae and helping to maintain a biological balance for the natural ecology.
