Why Lake Bed Aeration Matters
Unlike surface aerators, rocking piston compressors drive oxygen from the bottom up. This process, known as "bottom-up aeration," breaks through thermal stratification, reduces mucky buildup on the pond floor, and prevents fish kills by ensuring oxygen reaches every level of the water column.
