Design and Planning
Making the decision to aerate your lake or pond is a good choice. However, inadequate aeration systems can cause many undesirable effects on your body of water. Many tests have shown that an undersized aeration system, improper placement of main components, or utilization of the wrong equipment have resulted in deteriorating water quality parameters. In fact, we have seen an increase in algae growth and acceleration of fish kills due to improper aeration.
Wisconsin Lake & Pond Resource LLC looks at many variables when sizing an aeration system.
- Size of the water body
- Maximum and average water depth
- BOD and COD
- Size and influence of the watershed
- pH
- Alkalinity
- Electrical options
- Goals to be accomplished
Once we have obtained the data, we will generate an air photo of the site or use a CAD drawing and lay out the recommended system which will include a breakdown of the equipment required and the expected roll rate (number of hours to completely turn over the body of water). We can also include an expected cost to operate the recommended system.
