~Aeration Pumps~
Air pumps force fresh air down to the bottom of your pond which is then released through air stones or airline, rising to the surface as bubbles, aerating and oxygenating your pond in the process. Having a good oxygen level in your pond is important.
Without having a good oxygen ratio in your pond water, your fish have nothing to breathe through their gills and quickly suffocate – if you have suddenly gone outside to find that your fish have died overnight, then it is more than likely that a lack of oxygen is the cause, especially as your aquatic plants will have swapped from producing oxygen to using it up as part of their day-night cycle.
Beneficial filter bacteria use up oxygen too, actually competing with fish. So the more oxygen and pond aerators in the water, the more available it is for fish and filter bacteria. You'll have healthier water.
All in all, increasing your oxygen levels increases the ability of your fish to thrive, as well as the other aquatic life and your plants. Increasing oxygen levels is especially important in the summer months too - In hot weather, algae grows faster, using up more oxygen in your pond at night – oxygen that is vital to the wellbeing of your fish.

“The complete kit provides everything needed to supply dissolved oxygen directly to pond water, helping all biological processes and ensuring healthier water, fish, and plants. The system can also be used during freezing months, when it will keep a hole open in the surface of the pond to help keep pond fish safe through the winter. The energy-efficient, outdoor-rated 45-watt compressor with heavy-duty metal housing stands up to the elements, and its integrated rubber feet effectively minimize noise and vibration. Two specially designed, maintenance-free 10” aeration diffusers use a self-cleaning rubber membrane that expands to clear clogging dirt and debris. The diffusers' interior-weighted ballast keeps them at the bottom of the pond without the need for additional weights. The included 2-way compressor manifold allows for installation of two separate airlines with the added benefit of individual airflow adjustment. The kit includes 60' of freeze-resistant 3/8” braided aeration tubing with a pre-installed check valve built to last in all seasons. Stainless steel hose clamps are included to secure aeration tubing to the manifold and diffusers. With the Pond Aeration Kit, it is easy to maintain clean, clear, and healthy water."
