Want a healthy, more attractive lake or pond?

Experts in water aeration

Water quality is a critical factor in the successful management of any golf course, park, commercial or residential property. Poorly managed water will have a negative impact on the quality of the environment, irrigation systems, turf and the aesthetic value of the landscape. And this is where Otterbine steps in, delivering you a solution for improving water quality and adding beauty as well as function to your lake, pond or reservoir.

We have dedicated experts on good management of lakes and ponds who are happy to run through symptoms and best practice with you.

Useful information

For almost 40 years Otterbine has led the market bringing high quality aeration systems, aerating fountains and underwater lighting to its customers. Rigorous performance and safety testing ensures delivery of high quality, efficient and reliable products to market, which are supported with the strongest, most inclusive warranties.

Surface spray systems

Surface systems provide the best aeration and vertical circulation in lakes less than 15ft deep. Mixing surface and bottom waters, they break-up the thermal stratification, while creating convection patterns that break-up mats and clumps of algae and discourage mosquitos from breeding.

Horizontal aspirators

Horizontal aspirators are ideal for lakes ranging from three to 12ft in depth that will benefit from a strong directional flow. By creating artificial currents in irregular shaped lakes, these aspirators break up algae mats in stagnant waters and are chosen when no spray pattern is desired.

Air diffusion systems

Onshore air compressors pump air to diffuser manifolds at the bottom of a pond or lake. Most effective in waters 15ft or deeper, they also work in waters as shallow as 4ft. Generally, any bottom diffuser loses roughly half of its aeration capacity for every 3ft increment of depth shallower than 15ft.
