Small Lakes & Ponds
Effective circulation helps keep blue-green algae in check
Chances are small lakes and ponds less than 10 acres in size will be shallower with less natural circulation and more stagnation than their larger counterparts. These conditions combined can result in a perpetual cycle of poor water quality including cyanobacteria blooms (blue-green algae) and unpleasant odors. And chances are these ponds are near your home and serve as a place to drop a fishing line or to toss a stick with your dog.
Maximizing water quality here is as important as anywhere else and GridBee® SolarBee® fresh water circulation equipment can help!
Circulation in general is a proven strategy to improve overall water quality. In particular, most focus tends to be on blue-green algae mitigation and both epilimnetic and hypolimnetic odor control.
Medora Corporation has affordable circulation solutions for all types of small waterbodies.
