Handheld, manually used forks are used to breathe new life into lawns. These are lawns that went dry, perceptively starved of water. Those who were educated on this perception soon learned that it was not a shortage of water that was killing green foliage. It was a lack of oxygen. Hence the manual use of forks to fully aerate the lawns. The soil beneath the surface and the grass’s roots are given space to breathe for its essential nourishment.
All public use water features, ponds and lakes need nourishment too. While it remains a global challenge for marine conservationists and activists to cleanse the oceans and breathe new life into it, much can be done, and is being done to re-oxygenate your tepid looking features, ponds and lakes. This renewal initiative, of course, is being carried out by marine horticulturalists, biologists, conservationists and public park custodians.
They all have the use of aeration pumps. These pumps need to be in regular use in order to ensure that ponds, rivulets and public water features remain clean and teeming with life, both flora and fauna. Larger lakes will be, and are being helped through the use of special aeration pumps for lakes. The use of these pumps ideally remains in the hands of the abovementioned custodians and activists. They are qualified practitioners.
But your little pond at home can also start looking new again, enriched with it necessary oxygen. A small pump will be installed and you will be taught how to use the device and maintain it. This is necessary because the use of aeration pumps needs to be ongoing in order to ensure that water features remain fully oxygenated and free of pollution. And so there you go you now have a fair idea of what aeration pumps do for your water.
