Congratulations on buying a Blagdon Pond Oxygenator

air pump. These air pumps have been specifically designed

for water gardening applications, where sufficient aeration

is an essential part of a successful pond.

BENEFITS OF POND AERATION

Fish and other pond life require oxygen-rich water in order to remain

healthy. Filter bacteria, essential to the breakdown of highly toxic ammonia and

nitrite, also require oxygen to flourish and keep the pond free form the build up of

toxic waste. Use of a Blagdon Pond Oxygenator will increase the level of oxygen

in the pond and reduce levels of carbon dioxide, thus aiding in preventing the

pond from stagnating, by injecting air into the water. Additionally, by placing the

air stones directly into the filter chambers, beneficial filter bacteria will be

encouraged to grow. This will improve the efficiency of a pond filter,

as well as improve fish health.

Aeration in a pond is especially important during spells of warm weather, when

water holds much less oxygen, and at night when plants stop producing oxygen

and begin to use it. Fish seen gulping at the surface or swimming lethargically

may be showing signs of a lack of oxygen.

In winter, use of an air pump will keep an area of the pond ice-free, preventing

the build up of toxic gases which can be fatal to fish and other aquatic life.

Oxygenation, provided by the use of an air pump, is essential when treating

fish diseases, as suffering fish require higher levels of oxygen, and many

treatments deplete oxygen levels in the water.
