Restoring Pond Health with Lake Bed Aeration Systems
Restoring Pond Health with Lake Bed Aeration Systems
Degraded or eutrophic ponds often experience low oxygen levels, causing stratified waters where warm, oxygen-rich water sits above cooler, oxygen-depleted layers. As anaerobic conditions develop, aerobic bacteria cannot perform vital functions like waste digestion and water purification, leading to poor water quality, algae blooms, aquatic sludge buildup, and foul-smelling gases such as hydrogen sulfide. Low oxygen levels can also result in fish deaths and winter kill.
Lake Bed Aeration systems provide an effective solution by increasing dissolved oxygen levels and eliminating water stratification. These systems promote the growth of aerobic bacteria, which break down accumulated sludge and improve overall water quality, helping restore the health and beauty of your pond or lake.

- Eliminates the need for harmful chemicals.
- Is safe for the environment and animal inhabitants.
- Reduces maintenance, saving you money and time.
How the Aeration Process Works
Lake Bed Aeration is the introduction of compressed air to a water body. When released at the bottom of a pond or lake, compressed air naturally begins to migrate towards the surface of the water. As air travels up the water column the pressure surrounding the bubbles slowly decreases causing the bubbles to increase in size -- a slight current begins to develop. The current draws oxygen-depleted water from the bottom, oxygenates it and transports it to the surface. This action protects fish, aquatic organisms and beneficial bacteria from suffocation by breaking down stratified waters while increasing dissolved oxygen levels.
Keeton Industries Aeration Systems: Enhancing Water Quality and Habitat
Keeton Industries' aeration systems are trusted worldwide for improving water quality and clarity, enhancing fish and waterfowl habitat, and providing ice removal. These systems are designed to address a wide range of waterbody challenges by promoting oxygen flow and maintaining a balanced aquatic environment.
Each Keeton Industries aeration system comes with standard equipment, including energy-efficient, high-volume air compressors, a durable 100% recycled plastic cabinet with cooling and sound reduction features, and a programmable digital timer. The system also includes a fully-adjustable manifold with a safety relief valve and pressure gauge, Duraplate self-cleaning, non-clogging membrane diffusers, and a complete fittings package. Additionally, an installation and maintenance manual is provided to ensure ease of setup and ongoing care.
Lake Bed Aerators Product Lines:
| Product Line | Lake Size | Air Output(CFM) | # of Diffusers |
