AERATION , IRRIGATION & DRAINAGE off-grid solar aeration solution for the end-user . It ’ s ideal for all those remote locations where a power supply is not available . Our solar powered aerator is available with additional options such as online monitoring and management . Air is pumped through the diffuser membranes on the bed of the waterbody breaking through the thermocline , reducing the effects of thermal stratification while also increasing the lake ’ s dissolved oxygen ( DO ) levels . Aeration keeps the water body moving discouraging aquatic weed growth and killing the existing weeds before they gain a foothold .

Heathland Aquatic Water Treatment Application
During the first visit , the Heathland aquatics team applied 1000kg of the exclusive Heathland Blanketweed Water Treatment . This treatment was applied professionally by hand from our company boat out in the lake . The aquatic water treatment was to help remove the Duckweed and Blanketweed .
Heathland Water Analysis Tests
The client also ordered a full water analysis of the lake including sediment samples , water samples and a bathymetric survey . A full water analysis is required before treatments are applied to stabilise water parameters , combat algae , and bind excess nutrients . Bathymetric surveys are performed to analyse the levels of silt on the bed of the water body . The client also ordered a Peridox treatment for the second visit . A water analysis was performed during the first visit to determine the volume of the Peridox product needed .
