Otterbine Offers the Following Solutions to Ponds and Lakes:
Insect Management:
Stagnant, non-moving water is a necessary condition for the reproduction process of mosquitoes and other insects. The wave action created from Otterbine’s aeration and fountain systems break the surface tension of the water in ponds and lakes deterring these insects and their breeding.Supporting Natural Habitats:
Aeration is able to consume excess nutrients that are harmful to ponds and their inhabitants. Providing an environmentally friendly solution to improving water quality, the use of aeration supports healthy aquatic habitats for fish and wildlife, while creating naturalized landscapes to be enjoyed by all.Environmental Solutions:
Stormwater ponds are becoming a fixture to many residential communities, especially those under new development. Designed to capture all the run-off from parking lots and surrounding areas these ponds inevitably become trash basins of debris and excess nutrients that can easily turn a pond into a foul smelling eyesore. Otterbine aeration systems effectively treat the causes of water quality problems by inducing oxygen into the water column and consuming these excess nutrients to leave the pond clean, healthy and attractive.Flexible Solutions:
Offering a range of products from surface spray to sub-surface aeration systems, and Giant Fountains that can accentuate the magnificence of a clubhouse, Otterbine is able to provide proven aeration and aesthetic enhancement.Visit our Products page to learn more about the solutions we deliver.
