Air Pumps

Oxygenating your pond during the summer helps with algae control because increased oxygen levels promote increased activity of beneficial bacteria that are helping to breakdown pond waste and convert it to plant food.

Oxygenating your pond during the spring, summer, and fall helps to ensure fish health.   Oxygenating your pond during the winter is essential!  Fish still need to breath, and during the winter months under the ice.  Air pumps can be used in combination with a pond de-icer to maintain a hole in the pond for the exchange of gases, or it can be used on it's own or with the help of a Styrofoam or plastic greenhouse structure.  It is very important to add air to a pond during the winter, and it is equally important to let noxious gases from pond waste decomposition to escape.
