Proper lake management maintains water quality and environmental balance. Implementing floating fountains alongside aeration systems boosts oxygen levels in the water, besides controlling algae populations and regulating nutrient levels. When lakes do not receive maintenance, they start to decline due to algal overgrowth that repels wildlife.
Aerator, along with fountains, serve together to create a lively lake condition that preserves its aesthetic beauty and environmental health for humans and nature.
How to treat your lake water
Biological lake water treatments, combined with proper aeration, effectively improve water quality in an eco-friendly way. Aerobic bacteria digest excess nutrients, reducing algae growth and preventing blanket weed. Testing water parameters before treatment is essential, with Water Garden Ltd offering suitable test kits.
Lake Filtration Systems
A BioTec filter systems effectively process larger bodies of water, including ornamental ponds and lakes. For extensive water bodies, multiple filter sets can be installed to enhance filtration. Each system is paired with an AquaMax Eco Filter Pump and a Bitron self-cleaning Ultraviolet Clarifier, efficiently controlling single-celled algae growth.
A BioTec filter features a rotating screen mechanism that significantly reduces maintenance by capturing large solid waste and transferring it to a collection tray. For even larger water volumes, a Premium Profi Clear filter sets can manage lakes and ponds up to 200,000 litres. Additionally, multiple systems can be combined for expansive areas.
For advanced algae control, the ECO UV Clarifiers are designed to handle waters up to 240,000 litres per unit, ensuring superior water clarity and quality.

Fountain & Aeration Nozzles
Fountain nozzles coupled with spray rings work best when used to decorate big ponds and lakes or professional fountain displays.
They enhance water oxygen content while directing water movement through stagnant water areas. All nozzles come with BSP threaded connectors, which provide simple pumping and standard piping integration.
Types of Fountain Nozzles
- Threaded Fountain Nozzles – Water feature pumps and riser pipes work together with large water display devices.
- Foaming Jet Nozzles – These nozzles generate thick, dense water plumes, which release oxygen into the water and produce powerful water jets. The effect resembles the visual of an opened champagne bottle.
- Cluster Jet Nozzles – A series of small jets joined to produce one thick water column generates ‘crashing water’ sound waves, which serve to block road noise pollution. With a high-flow pump, they can achieve substantial height.
- Single Jet & High Jet Nozzles – These slender jets of water can reach impressive heights and be adjusted for arcing or vertical streams. When multiple single jet nozzles are used together, they create elaborate water displays.
- Multi-Tiered & Tulip Jet Nozzles – A multi-tiered fountain showcases intricate beauty through its vertical jet at the centre, which expands into multiple outward jets that become tulip jets, generating an expanding water cone.
Conclusion
OASE filtration systems, along with aeration nozzles and high-performance pumps, make up effective technology for maintaining large ponds and lakes. These systems apply their purpose to oxygenate or filter water while simultaneously beautifying aquatic environments.
The advanced capabilities of self-cleaning UV clarifiers, together with variable speed controls and DMX compatibility, help operators simplify management processes for large water areas.
