Keeton Industries ProLake Solaer 2.4 Solar Aeration System

The patented battery backup systems are the ONLY solar aeration system that can operate day and night, for as long as 20 hours. Other aeration systems that are on the market can only run while the sun is shining.

When an aeration system is initially installed, there will be a period of time where the aerator will draw up large amounts of poor-quality water and some organic debris from the bottom that can have an impact on the water quality. It will increase the oxygen demand and potentially raise the phosphorus and nitrogen levels for a short period of time. This is a critical time for the lake, but as long as the aeration system is running, it will be able to combat these issues and, in time, the lake will turn around.

Most ponds and lakes can benefit from the addition of an aeration system. After many years of research, we believe that aeration is the foundation for improving and maintaining proper water quality in ponds and lakes. Lake bed aeration acts to increase dissolved oxygen levels, while eliminating water stratification.

Changes will take place in your pond immediately after starting up an aeration system, no matter if it is electric or solar. However, in typical situations, it will take about 6 weeks to actually see the improvements.

Most ponds and lakes that are using an aeration system, in the winter, are trying to help the aquatic environment beneath the ice, increase water quality for the fish and aquatic plants and/or decrease sludge. Never try and walk on the ice. It is potentially hazardous, because the ice is weak and you may fall thru. A warning sign may be required by local regulations.
