Turn-key solar power pond aeration systems are a good alternative to a windmill pond aeration system. Innovative Solar Solutions has been providing solar pond aeration systems for years. Solar lake bed aeration is extremely important to the health of isolated ponds. Golf course pond and farm pond stagnation problems are eliminated with our solar pond aeration systems.

We also use the aeration system for the hog waste industry problems to increase the decomposition of swine and other livestock waste issues. Call us to discuss your solar aeration options.

Solar Lake Bed AerationTM

Aeration means adding air to the water. To restore a lake to health, it is essential to get oxygen down to the lake bottom. Lake Bed AerationTM not only adds oxygen to the surface water but to the water at the bottom of the lake as well. Once the lake is full of oxygen near the bottom, beneficial aquatic insect larvae, snails, fresh water shrimp, and other fish food can begin to live on the bottom and littoral zone (light zone).

Lake eutrophication begins when the BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) of a lake cannot be met. When too much pollution enters a lake, plant and algae growth dies and sinks to the bottom, resulting in an overload of organic sludge. Lower forms of life on the lake bed die and this debris rots. Anaerobic bacteria, which needs no oxygen, give off deadly poisonous gases, such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and methane. These gases, as they rise through the water, unite with and bind up and dissolved oxygen remaining in the water. Fish will then die from lack of oxygen. By pumping compressed air out onto the lake bed diffuser, the rising air bubbles bring the bottom water to the surface. Large volumes of water release pollutant gases to the air and pick up more oxygen while on the surface. If oxygen is present at the lake bed, dead organisms will not accumulate but will quickly be consumed by aerobic bacteria, thus providing for a healthier lake environment.
