Pond Logic KoiAr 1 Kit Aeration Kit (Pond Air Pump)

Description

Contrary to popular belief, “pond heaters” by themselves rarely ensure all pond fish make it through the winter months. When talking with “pond people” it’s frequently heard that one or more of their pond fish did not make it through the winter months. Pond heaters, really these are de-icers, maintain a hole in the pond ice for gas exchange. The thought process behind the pond heater is that by maintaining a hole in the ice “bad air” escapes the pond and oxygen enters the pond. This does happen to some extent but, but by itself and in full capacity ponds it is often not enough.
The pond needs to be oxygenated in winter months as well and pond heaters do not always do the trick. With nothing running in winter months, maintaining a hole in the pond ice is not enough to ensure adequate oxygen levels in fish ponds. Especially in fish ponds that are at capacity or over stocked. Lets be honest, most of our ponds are this way. Whether from the pond fish breending or by continually finding that extra fish that “we must have”, most ponds are at capacity.
The same holds true in the summer: the warmer the water the less oxygen it can store and and an air pump is often necessary to ensure survival of the Pond Fish, in particular Koi.

• AirMax Pond Logic KoiAir 1 Systems ensure that koi, goldfish, and other pond fish have plenty of oxygen and survive the winter months.

• Using an aeration kit, or air pump, lowers toxic gas levels through dillution. Air pumps and aeration kits will maintain a hole in the ice while pumping fresh oxygen into the pond water.

• Aeration kits can be used in the pond all year. During spring, summer, and fall months, aeration kits help to reduce algae, increase the beneficial bacteria population in the pond filter, and keep your fish alive in winter months.
