Oxygen in ponds
the surface of the water that actually make the oxygen exchange into the water- How does a waterfall or a stream compare to a bubbler? Do they have stats for that? They make for a lot of surface exposure. Jim set up our berm to have the water go over four falls before running down an 8 foot stream into the pond. He saw that as getting pretty near full oxygenation. Phyllis |

Oxygen in ponds
as a passive system independent of an air pump, it is excellent as long as
it isnt a smooth flow. the more it burbles and "talks" the greater the surface to air ratio. I have a big aquatic ecosystem air blower with a foot long sintered glass airstone that makes tiny bubbles. it is 6 inches below the surface and the water just boils with tiny bubbles. http://www.aquaticeco.com/index.cfm/...Detail/ttid/49 http://www.aquaticeco.com/index.cfm/.../techtalk.list Ingrid "Phyllis and Jim" wrote in message oups.com...

Phyllis Hiya Phyllis, There was an article, but now I can't remember whether it was in a magazine or on the web regarding this, with stats. What I remember from it was that water falling on rocks got the highest score, then fountains, then airstones... I believe. I'm only positive about the water falling on rocks. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
