When autumn arrives, your pond goes through a natural process called turnover. The colder surface water gets heavy and sinks, pushing warmer, nutrient-rich water up from the bottom.  Without the right aeration, this turnover can lead to stagnant zones, low oxygen levels, and a build-up of muck and gas under the ice. Using an aerator in the fall helps keep your water clear, supports aquatic life, and keeps the whole pond healthy as winter approaches. In this post, we’ll explain how to …
