Floating Aerators IrelandAerators for farm ponds and lakes
A floating pond aerator keeps farm ponds and estate lakes oxygenated, which cuts algae and odour and protects fish in warm weather. Compact units run in about 0.5 m of water, and small sizes can be placed by one person.

What does a pond aerator do?
It moves and splashes the water so oxygen dissolves into it, and it circulates the pond so warm, still layers do not form. That supports the bacteria that break down organic matter on the bottom.
What do I need to choose a pond aerator?
- The pond's area and average depth
- Whether there is mains power near the bank
- Whether it is a working pond or one on show (then an aerating fountain may suit)
