Solar Pond Aeration

Degraded or Eutrophic ponds and lakes can be characterized by low levels of dissolved oxygen and highly stratified waters, where warm, oxygen-rich water is suspended above cool, oxygen-depleted bottom waters. As anaerobic conditions begin to develop in deeper water, naturally occurring aerobic microbes can no longer perform beneficial tasks, such as water digestion and purification. With time, water quality greatly decreases leading to unsightly blooms of algae, the accumulation of aquatic sludge and the build up of gases, such as methane and hydrogen sulfide, which are well known for their offensive odors. Low oxygen levels can also lead to fish death and winter kill.

Luckily, degraded ponds and lakes can easily be enhanced with the addition of a SOLAER Lake Bed Aeration system. The SOLAER system acts to increase dissolved oxygen levels while eliminating stratified waters. They range in size from ornamental ponds to lakes up to 5 acres.  Solarplex of Texas can also customize a system for lakes larger than 5 acres. We can accomodate your need for clean, clear water utilizing solar power anywhere in Austin, San Antonio, or Texas. Keeton Industries, the manufacturer of the SOLAER systems, has been involved with water quality evaluation, environmental lake, pond and stream studies for over 26 years.
