Lake Fountains & Lake Aeration Systems

Enhance Your Lake with Decorative Fountains

Lake fountains are a stunning way to add visual impact to large waterbodies. With a wide range of spray patterns and heights available, our floating fountains bring movement, sound, and style to lakes of any size. Beyond aesthetics, they also encourage gentle aeration at the water surface, helping to circulate water and reduce stagnation.

Benefits of Lake Fountains:

• Creates beautiful focal points for estates, golf courses, hotels, and public parks
• Improves water movement at the surface to reduce algae growth
• Wide variety of spray nozzles and lighting options
• Easy installation and low maintenance

Improve Water Quality with Lake Aeration Systems

Healthy lakes require proper oxygen levels to support fish, wildlife, and overall water balance. Our lake aeration systems are designed to provide complete water circulation and oxygenation from the bottom up. By breaking down thermal layers and preventing stagnation, aeration reduces harmful gases, limits algae blooms, and ensures a healthier ecosystem.

Types of Lake Aeration Systems:

• Diffused Aeration Systems – Ideal for deeper lakes, pumping oxygen from the base upwards.
• Surface Aerators – Effective for shallow lakes, providing vigorous oxygen transfer at the surface.
• Solar Aeration Systems – Eco-friendly options perfect for remote locations without access to mains power.

Aeration Technologies

• Diffused Aeration Systems
  
  • Utilise membrane diffusers to release micro bubbles at depth.
  • High oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE) due to increased surface area and longer bubble retention time.
  • Ideal for destratification of water bodies of all depths.
• Surface & Floating Aerators
  
  • Mechanical surface impellers or aspirators that entrain atmospheric oxygen directly into the upper water column.
  • High volumetric circulation rates, optimal for shallow or eutrophic systems requiring rapid oxygenation.
• Solar Aeration Systems
  
  • Designed for off-grid or low-energy applications.
  • Photovoltaic-powered compressors driving diffused aeration manifolds.

FAQs on Lake Fountains and Lake Aeration Systems

Q: What is the difference between a lake fountain and a lake aeration system?
A: A lake fountain is primarily decorative, creating stunning spray patterns while also offering light aeration at the water surface. A lake aeration system is designed to improve water quality by circulating and oxygenating the entire lake, often from the bottom up.

Q: Do lake aerators help reduce algae growth?
A: Yes. By improving water circulation and oxygen levels, lake aerators make conditions less favourable for algae blooms and help maintain a balanced aquatic ecosystem.

Q: Can you install a lake aerator in a deep lake?
A: Absolutely. Diffused aeration systems are especially effective in deeper lakes, as they release oxygen at the bottom and circulate the entire water column.

Q: Are solar-powered aeration systems reliable?
A: Yes. Solar aerators are highly reliable and an excellent option for lakes in remote locations without mains electricity, offering eco-friendly operation.

Q: Do you offer installation and maintenance services?
A: Yes. Heathland Fountains and Aerators provides full supply, installation, and ongoing maintenance services across the UK and Europe.
