Solar Aeration-Dragonfly Pond Works
What is aeration?
Aeration just means "adding air" to the water
Since air contains oxygen, aeration also adds oxygen to the water
Why is this important?
Many ponds are unable to maintain the necessary oxygen levels due to their depth. This can lead to fish kills and harm the survival of other wildlife that help to maintain the health of the pond and keep it clean. When the animals are not able to survive and clean the pond, pollutants build up and lead to pond scum and foul odor. This can also lead to an overgrowth of weeds and algae, which only continues to worsen the problem.
Why choose solar aeration?
Solar aeration is a great option, because it not only adds oxygen to the water and mixes the water, but it also uses clean energy. The use of solar power significantly decreases operating costs. The addition of any type of aeration will make your pond will look better, smell better, and increase water quality. It will also decrease the cost of pond or lake maintenance and management, because there will be fewer problems to treat.
Solar power is a one of the fastest growing industries in North Carolina, ranking NC in the top 5 solar power producers in the United States. It's a triple bottom line investment: environmental stewardship, economic prosperity, and social responsibility.We recently installed a large solar aeration system at the NC Army National Guard in Raleigh, NC.
