Water fountains are a fantastic asset to any pond or lake and during the winter. They bring added benefits as they improve water quality. This makes winter fountains a great product to install in the Autumn in time for the big winter freeze.
The wonderful display patterns and the unique lighting options make these a desirable addition to any water body. In the winter months, they also help to support water management in your lake or pond by keeping the water on the surface moving. This in turn stops freezing and allows oxygen to be dissolved into the water body. Many ponds and lakes freeze during the winter months. This can lead to a reduction in oxygen, fish stock dying and a breakdown of the ecological balance in the lake/pond.
It is important to have surface aeration in place throughout the winter to keep your waterbody healthy and ecologically balanced. During the winter season the ice cover forms on the surface of a waterbody which causes inverse stratification. Inverse or winter stratification (layering) occurs when the surface water cools, becoming denser and sinking to the bottom. When the temperature drops below 4°C the surface water cools even more becoming less dense and “floating” on top of the denser water. The floating ice layer sits at the waterbody surface and the warmer water, usually above 4°C stays on the bed of the pond, lake, or reservoir.
Winter stratification remains in place because the ice cover prevents wind from mixing the water. So surface aeration from a winter fountain keeps winter water moving. This prevents winter stratification therefore keeping your pond or lake ecologically balanced.
A winter fountain also provides a wonderful focal point to any winter garden landscape, fishery, golf course, holiday park or business park.

Nogle gange betyder manglen på tilgængelig strøm, at der kræves et specialiseret beluftningssystem, og med de stigende energiomkostninger er der ingen bedre mulighed end et soldrevet underjordisk beluftningssystem til at hjælpe med at holde de månedlige energiomkostninger nede.
Longleat Forests søområde var plaget af grimme alger, der forårsagede ærtegrønt vand og uønskede lugte, og det havde vi et desperat behov for iltet vand, og vi havde det rigtige vandluftningssystem til at levere netop det. Vores egenfremstillede OxiAir HD® diffust...

Spildevandsluftning er en afgørende proces i behandlingen af forurenet vand, hvor luft med vilje indføres i spildevandet for at lette væksten og aktiviteten af aerobe mikroorganismer. Denne metode udnytter iltens kraft til at understøtte den metaboliske...

Store vandfontæner til søer er en populær funktion, der tilføjer æstetisk appel og forbedrer den visuelle oplevelse af en sø. Disse springvand er designet til at skabe imponerende skærme af vandstråler, mønstre og undertiden synkroniserede lyseffekter.
Heathland Fountains and Aerators blev kontaktet af en indenlandsk klient i Essex for et tilbud i maj 2019. Klienten har en sø på sin ejendom, hvor han havde brug for en flydende søfontæne til beluftning. Springvandsbelysning for at skabe en fantastisk aftenhaveudstilling var også en del af klientbriefen.
Her hos Heathland Group tilbyder vi to typer søbeluftning, diffus beluftning og flydende beluftning for at hjælpe dig med effektivt at lufte din sø. En diffus belufter pumper luft gennem diffusormembranerne, som derefter bevæger sig til overfladen i form af millioner af små bobler...
