The Importance of Fountains and Water Circulator Systems
Water circulator in lakes and ponds has the benefit of improving the oxygenation of the water and mixing of the water to prevent stratification. Oxygen is vital for the survival of all living organisms, including aquatic species. Under normal conditions, plenty of oxygen is supplied by diffusion from the atmosphere into the pond or lake to cover the demand of the fish and other aquatic animals. However, when the population increases, the supply of oxygen may not compensate for the demand, thus oxygen becomes depleted, which leads to stagnancy and fish kills. A good fountain or water circulator is necessary
