Pond aeration and aerators: Second thoughts

Aerators, especially paddlewheels, are often used to mix the water and address oxygen stratification in ponds. However, most aerators do not provide the most efficient and power-conscious service. Due to thermal and oxygen stratification in ponds, the efficiency of paddlewheel aerators is low, and other present-day aerators have other problems. Emerging designs should better address effective mixing and aerating of pond water.
