The North Star Decorative Aerator adds an elegant, trumpet-shaped water feature to any pond or lake along with powerful aeration, debris reduction and reliable algae control.
The powerful North Star moves an impressive amount of water per minute, creating a strong surface current to help oxygenate water and eliminate algae and debris. Perfect for commercial, residential, and municipal applications, the North Star not only shines in the daytime landscape, but can also star after dark with our lighting options. You can order and add it now or at a later time.
These units have been engineered to eliminate the need for time-consuming, costly winterizing products and procedures. Simply leave your aerator or fountain in the water, turn the power supply off, and forget about it for the winter. Once the water thaws in the spring, re-establish power to the unit and you’re good to go. All of the components will withstand sub-zero conditions without damage.
GFCI required. Always disconnect power when swimmers are present.

Propeller
Decorative Aeration Systems uses a propeller vs. a pump to move the
water. This enables the "North Star" aerators to move massive amounts of water
while not clogging. Depending on the size of the pond and the horsepower of the
Lake Aerator you can expect to aerate the whole pond
water volume several times per week. This gives you the solution to the
root cause of most water management problems. The propeller was designed to be utilized in applications
where solids and other stringy material (Hair algae, weeds,
vegetation, etc...) may be encountered in a lake or pond. The
non-fouling design eliminates material build-up on the propeller,
mitigating equipment failure.

Pond and Lake Aeration
As we come closer to the warmer months, it is very important to
prepare
for your water management battle. There are many problems such as
algae,
mosquitoes, odors, excessive weed growth, and poor water clarity
which adversely affect
the overall aquaculture and appearance of your lake or pond without
proper pond aeration.
During the late spring and summer season, warm surface water traps denser, colder water on the bottom of the pond. This is known as stratification. Pollutants such as leaves, clippings and fertilizer sink to the bottom and decay, stripping the water of dissolved oxygen. Anaerobic bacteria, which require no oxygen, can thrive in this environment. These bacteria can cause poisonous gases such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and methane to be released. As these gases rise through the water, any remaining oxygen is absorbed causing unpleasant odors and rapid algae growth. This is a leading cause of most fish kills.
The "North Star" decorative aerators take the
deeper, colder
water from 30" to desired depth (note: desired depth can be achieved
with our Bottom Draw Tube) below the surface and forces it into the
air through a beautiful pattern which enables the droplets to capture atmospheric oxygen. This process is called
de-stratification or pond aeration. The oxygen is then released back into the water as the
droplets strike the surface. The aerated cooler water is layered on top of
the
existing warmer layer, breaking down and eliminating the idle
stratification
of oxygen-starved water. De-stratification aides the natural process
of
biodegrading algae resulting in cleaner, clearer water. The
"North Star"
line of decorative aerators effectively reaches the source of the
problem and solves it naturally and beautifully.
