| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the need for standing water to be oxygenated, stating "beneath the surface layer of water, but not quite to the bottom, is the thermocline or facultative layer. Even here, there is far less oxygen than that of the surface layer. But things can get truly nasty at the bottom layer of water, which has little or no oxygen." Discusses using vertical aerators, surface aspirating aerators, and diffused air injection to oxygenate the water. States that "supplying oxygen to standing water features is as vital to its long-term health as providing water is to turf. Aerators may not be the answer to every water-quality question, but when it comes to maintaining most man-made features, their potential and benefits are perfectly clear." |
