The type of pond aeration system you need depends on the depth of your pond. For more shallow ponds (about 6 feet or less) a fountain aerator that sits on the surface works best. When the water spraying from the fountain rains on the pond, it increases the amount of oxygen within the water. This oxygen is needed to help bacteria grow that break down unwanted organics, such as algae.
In ponds that are deeper than 6 feet, a bottom aeration filter may be recommended to keep enough oxygen flowing throughout your entire pond. Rather than letting dark, sludgy water sit at the bottom of your pond, a bottom aerator pushes harmful gasses such as methane and sulfur to the surface, all while moving the water and oxygenating it at the same time.
