For Aerating Ponds, Fish Tanks, Water Troughs, and Hydroponic Systems
Small Pond Air Pumps also Keep a Hole Open in Ice during Winter Freeze
Running on just a few watts of electricity, these whisper-quiet aeration pumps cost virtually nothing to run. You can feel good about providing constant aeration to your pond, fish tank, or hydroponic system.
Aeration is extremely important. A healthy ecosystem requires a constant supply of oxygen. Small pond air pumps provide .05 to .18 cubic feet of oxygen per minute to the water. This increases and maintains higher levels of dissolved oxygen in the water. Also, the rising air bubbles increase water circulation.
During warmer months, warmer pond water contains less dissolved oxygen than colder water. Adding a small pond air pump with a diffuser ball will help keep fish and ecosystem healthy. Higher levels of oxygen dissolved in your pond increases the metabolism rate of the beneficial bacteria living in your biological pond filter.
