Oxygen is the most important
element for life. All life
revolves around the
availability of Oxygen. In
aquatic environments like
fish ponds, oxygen is the
single most limiting factor
for success. All aquatic
life forms demand oxygen.
From the fish down to the
bacteria any body of water
has what is called an
“oxygen demand”.
Of all the essential
elements in water, oxygen is
also in the shortest supply.
Ponds and lakes gain oxygen
in two ways:
Photosynthesis by algae and
plants.
Atmospheric oxygen is
transferred into water at
the surface of pond.
Photosynthesis may produce
sufficient oxygen for very
low fish loads but is
inconsistent due to the fact
that at night algae and
plants remove oxygen through
the process of respiration.
Most of the ponds and lakes
we deal with have higher
than natural fish loads and
require additional oxygen to
maintain a clean and healthy
environment.
HAKKO air pumps can be used
to create a huge column of
bubbles or “air lift” rising
from the bottom of a pond or
lake. This brings oxygen
depleted water to the
surface where the bubbles
burst and create tremendous
surface turbulence,
circulation and aeration.
HAKKO air pumps used in this
manner will literally
breathe life into your pond
or lake.
