    Lake and Pond Management
Awareness of Water Quality Management

Freshwater resources are a wonderful part of our natural environment. We enjoy them from our lakeside properties and depend on them to recharge our groundwater supply. However, there exists an ever-growing demand on our freshwater ecosystems for recreational, agricultural and industrial purposes. Lawn and landscape fertilizer runoff, sewage effluent, industrial discharge and storm water runoff combine to drastically increase nutrients resulting in more algae and weed growth. Soon, oxygen levels begin dropping, harmful bacteria populations increase, septic odors become noticeable and fish populations decline resulting in lower real estate values for the surrounding properties.

Lake and Pond Management Solution

Want to enjoy cleaner, clearer water in your lake or pond?
Vertex has the answer with the world’s most advanced lake aeration systems. Vertex's line of CoActive AirStations™, QuietAir™ cabinets and BottomLine™ tubing have been independently tested to be the most efficient lake and pond aeration management system available for creating a more appealing and healthier eco-system.

Vertex Lake and Pond Aeration Benefits:

• Prevents fish kill
• Eliminates foul odors
• Destroys pathogenic bacteria
• Oxidizes and removes bottom muck
• Reduces midge flies and mosquitoes
• Reduces nutrient levels and algae growth
• Clarifies and circulates entire water column
• Improves fisheries by expanding oxygenated habitat
• Increases dissolved oxygen levels from top to bottom
• SAFE - no electricity in the water and full GFCI protection.

Winter Pond Management

Winter pond aeration in northern climates can have many advantages. Often the most important to pond owners and managers is the prevention of winter fish kill due to lack of oxygen under the ice. Winter pond aeration will keep areas over the diffusers open and free of ice and maintain safe dissolved oxygen levels.
