Before our aeration customers deployed their aeration systems, they experienced low dissolved oxygen levels, stagnant water, thermal stratification, a buildup of nutrients and muck, excessive weed and algae growth, noxious odors and their ponds became a breeding ground for insects. After installing their aerator the health of the pond almost immediately improves. Dissolved oxygen levels increase to healthy levels. Stagnation is replaced by a convection current, circulating the entire water column. Nutrient balance is achieved and biological processes start to reduce the muck layer. Weeds and algae now have to compete for the nutrients in the pond and subsequently there is a reduction in algae and weed growth. Odors are eliminated as an exchange of gasses occurs during the process of aeration. Mosquito's and Midge Fly's no longer have stagnant water to breed. Aeration naturally creates a balanced and healthy pond ecosystem.

Beyond the general health of the pond, one of the biggest nightmares a pond owner stocked with fish experiences-is a fish kill. We heard lots of stories this spring of winter fish kills. In the Midwest, the ice and snow cover on our small waters created poor oxygen production conditions that led to the fish kills. As  the summer has progressed, we are hearing stories of algae blooms, noxious odors and summer fish kills due to turnover-typically caused by oxygen starved, thermally stratified water. The best time to install an aerator is-as soon as possible. Before winter install a Vertex Aeration System. Prevent a winter fish kill by oxygenating your pond all year long.

Vertex bottom aeration systems provide a beneficial and cost effective method of improving both the water quality of your pond and it's overall health. The Vertex aeration system consists of a small shore mounted compressor(1/3-1 hp), feeding a configuration of self-cleaning flexible membrane diffusers. Positioned on the lpond bottom, each diffuser station produces millions of small 500-1000 micron sized bubbles, creating a slow moving current that entrains the entire water column providing aeration through surface contact. Designed to be both efficient and cost effective for our customers, Vertex aeration systems can aerate up to an 18 acre lake with as little as 2/3hp! With very low monthly operating costs, low maintenance (self-cleaning diffusers), and no potentially dangerous electricity in the water we think this is the perfect aeration system.

Gain control of your pond Eco-system by employing an aeration system. We make choosing the right aerator easy. First, Vertex manufactures the best aerator on the market.  Independent tests confirm that no other aerator performs as well as Vertex.  Second, we offer FREE aeration consultation. Simply click on Live Chat or call our Toll-Free number and give us some details about your pond. Don't worry if you're unsure of the size of your pond. Satellite technology enables us to measure ponds in most parts of the country. With these measurements, we can help you determine which product is right for your pond, based on it's size, shape, slope and power availability.

Aeration is a key to pond and fish health. Allow your pond to breathe, by adding diffused oxygen to the water column. Eliminate stagnant water, increase water circulation, reduce muck, eliminate thermal stratification. Don't guess which Vertex aerator is right for your farm, irrigation or retention pond, give us a call, email or click on Live Chat for a no obligation consultation. An aerator is a big investment and we can help you select the right product for the size, shape, slope and depth of your pond. Vertex has such a broad selection of pond aerators that we have the most popular models on the site, but we can aerate any pond or lake.
