Pond & Lake Aeration
Northwest Waterscapes, of Coeur d'Alene, (CDA), Kootenai County, Idaho, sells, installs, and provides Airmax bottom-diffused aeration in shallow ponds and lakes that are a unique maintenance challenge to Idaho pond owners. Less water depth means smaller plate coverage which usually translates to bigger, more expensive, multi-plate systems.
Airmax Shallow Water Series™ Aeration Systems provide multiple plates to provide evenly distributed aeration in shallow water applications without forcing customers into large cost-prohibitive aeration units. Designed specifically for use in shallow water, our Shallow Water Series™ Aeration Systems aerate ponds up to 1/2 surface acre at 6’ deep.

Pond & Lake Aeration Types
Just like lake fountains, pond aeration is a key component to a healthy Coeur d'Alene, (CDA), Kootenai County, Idaho area pond. These systems can prevent stagnation, reduce muck, and improve the overall ecosystem. Additionally, a property aerated pond can help to reduce algae production and prevent winter fish kills. Proper design, however, is essential as an undersized system or poor equipment can lead to issues including phosphorus resuspension, an increase in algae production, and even fish kills. It is therefore important to understand your pond’s dissolved oxygen levels and muck accumulation before adding pond aeration.
Aeration is all about gasses. Aeration mixes the pond so that toxic gasses are efficiently released and life-giving oxygen readily replaces it. An aerated pond will be clearer, cleaner, healthier, and have less bottom muck than a pond without aeration. A pond without aeration will become stratified into two very separate layers in the summer heat. This is because of the physical properties of water. As the sun warms the surface water, it becomes less dense and thereby lighter than the cool water below it. The line at which these two layers separate (similar to oil floating on water) is called the thermocline.
