Heathland Groups Team liaised with the customer to talk through the various product options suitable to solve this issue. After discussions, the customer ordered a shallow pond diffused aerator system with 2 aerators and installation. The pond has an island in the centre so 2 diffusers allowed even aeration coverage. This model is one of the most efficient models available in today’s market. The efficiency of this pump makes the aerator capable of maintaining water quality in small ponds of any size up to 1.8 acres.
Our team promptly travelled to Dorset to perform the installation within the time frame the client had requested. The client was delighted with the end result, increased levels of aeration and Heathland Group professional installation services. So much so they ordered the same shallow pond diffused aerator system with a further 4 aerators for maximum aeration coverage, 3 months later.

The Heathland OxiAir shallow® diffused pond aerator from Heathland Group was designed to be one of the more robust, highly efficient pond aerators, producing large volumes of air. The Heathland OxiAir shallow® diffused pond aerator uses a super silent compressor that pumps air up through the diffuser membranes. These are located on the pond bed and this allows air to break through the thermocline and reduces the risks of stratification in the water column. It also increases the dissolved oxygen levels of the pond. Each of the diffusers circulates an approximate volume of 11,065 litres of water per minute at a depth of 2m.
