Duluth, Georgia Vertex Aeration Install

Other Articles

Recently a client came to us wanting a proper aeration in his pond. He has had issues with cheaper units burning themselves out in the past. As you will see later there is a reason he was worried about the longevity of his current system. We worked closely with Vertex Aeration systems to construct a custom aeration map that would best suite the pond.

The pond that was in question. Although small, pond is still at risk of turning over and causing a fish kill.

Prepping the Job Site

Josh hunting for the old aeration lines so proper ones can be installed.
Josh found the old aeration line. It was very small in diameter compared to the line we use which is another reason the unit was producing unsatisfactory results.
Finally dragged the unit out. There was a reason it was so hard to get the unit out with all those snags we had.
The backbone of the unit was an old sign.
After a little cleanup we discovered a Pepsi Cola crate made up the base with four aquarium airstones to produce air bubbles.
Snagged to the unit was a fully functioning fish rod and reel. It still castes like a champ.
Single units were used today instead of doubles like we usually use.
We housed the unit inside a landscape feature to keep the aesthetics of the property. Josh is trying to brush the fire ants off his arms which also call the feature home.

The Process of Installation

Since the units were only singles, the compressor is also downsized. Those plastics bags are padding to protect the unit during shipping. They are removed before the unit is powered up.
A small jon boat is all we need to deploy these units. One person drives while another person feeds tubing.
After some fine tuning the stations were working perfectly.

This was a quick job due to the size of the lake and small number of units. If you have a questionable aeration system give us a call to get your pond back on track.
