Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Pond Aeration?

Hi KHood -
It is unfortunate that some fountain manufacturers are still misleading people into thinking a fountain is an aerator and on top of that it is better than a bottom diffuser!!! A fountain in no way can compare to the efficiency of an aeration system. When water quality improvement is the main objective: initial cost, monthly cost, ease of installation, lower maintenance, no electricity in the water and performance are just some of the many advantages. I love fountains, don't get me wrong, we manufacture some of the best, but they should be marketed for their beauty, and not as aeration systems. The best thing you can do is consult a professional and relay the details of your pond so that a system can be custom designed for your individual pond and its needs.
