Large Pond aeration, fountains, and other enhancements

---

Diffused Aeration Systems are strongly recommended in most farm ponds and private lakes in Western Pennsylvania.  Colleagues of Aquatic Edge offer sales and professional installation of the highest quality pond and lake aeration systems and floating fountains.

Properly designed aeration systems give lake owners the following benefits:

• Eliminates the thermocline, greatly increasing fish habitat
• Increased bacteria activity helps to reduce the “muck” layer
• Causes noxious gases from sediment to bubble out, reducing odor problems
• Oxygen causes phosphorus to form bonds with other elements, making it unavailable to algae, reducing algae blooms
• Bubbling water keeps an area of open water during winter
• Eliminates possibility of oxygen depletion during summer and winter, main causes of fish kills
• Reduction in midge fly populations

Display Fountains

Floating Decorative Fountains provide enhance aesthetic quality to private or public ponds and lakes in Western Pennsylvania. Colleagues of Aquatic Edge offer professional installation of floating fountains to lake-owners in the Greater Pittsburgh, Greensburg, Washington PA areas and beyond.

Fountains add a unique aesthetic appeal to lakes and ponds, as well as assist with biological processes that can promote healthy water conditions.

Choose from an endless array of spray patterns and lighting options to suit any pond and lake application.  Quality fountains made by reputable manufacturers like Aquamaster, Airmax, Kasco and Otterbine.

We recommend all pond and lake owners to consider their particular needs before purchasing a fountain, and should consult a professional lake manager that can inform them of important features and needs of various types of fountains.

In our local area of western Pennsylvania, floating fountains should be removed in late fall and stored indoors at temperatures above freezing. Ice formation on the water’s surface can damage floating fountains and is not covered by any manufacturer’s warranty. Aquatic Edge recommends seasonal fountain service, which includes:

• Removal in late fall
• Power-wash and visual inspection of exterior
• Motor repairs, seal replacement as needed
• Storage in heated facility over winter
• Re-install in early spring
