One of the most difficult times of year for a pond is the summer. While the pond is great for aesthetics, it can really take a beating and lose some of its stunning features in the summer due to the high temperatures and lack of rain. It may sound counterproductive but did you know that the sun can actually help maintain your pond if utilized property? How does one do this? With a solar fountain from Outdoor Water Solutions.
First, here is how the summer months can wreak havoc on your pond. In order to maintain the health of its aquatic life, the water in ponds needs to be continuously circulated so that debris does not settle at the bottom and turn to muck. The circulation also maintains the oxygen levels needed for healthy wildlife. In some parts of the country, summertime usually means a lack of rain which can be a problem for ponds. Rainwater assists in flushing out the pond and circulating the pond water, resulting in an eco-friendly way to assist in the maintenance of your pond.
Most individuals who live in an area of the country that receives very little rain usually invest in a pond aerator to help maintain their pond. However, not everyone wants to have an increased electricity bill and, further, not everyone’s pond is located near an energy source. This is where a solar pond aerator comes into play.
