PREVENTION IS BETTER
THAN CURE
GET AHEAD OF WATER QUALITY ISSUES THIS SPRING WITH OTTERBINE
Robert Jackson, Division Manager for Reesink Hydro-Scapes, Otterbine’ s UK distributor, says:“ Otterbine aeration systems are designed to be as close to a natural solution for water aeration as possible. The aim is to keep water healthy and not leave things to chance, especially as the weather generally warms up throughout the year, not just as spring and summer approach.
“ Rectifying problems is always more expensive and time consuming than preventing them and Otterbine aerators are straight forward and easy to install and last for years meaning they are the perfect longterm solution.”
Otterbine has helped Wyboston Lakes in Cambridge achieve the aesthetics it wants while being environmentally-friendly meaning no chemicals to keep the water clean.
As the weather warms up all potential water issues multiply, but there is a natural, environmentallyfriendly, safe and cost-effective way to prevent problems before they occur with Otterbine’ s range of surface and subsurface aerators.
Otterbine aerators have been successfully used as an algae control strategy to improve water clarity and quality the world over, simply by adding air and circulating oxygen in the water. This simple process stops the water from stagnating, keeps algae and aquatic weeds under control, eliminates odours, prolongs the life of the water and attracts wildlife.
The main difference between the two options of surface and sub surface aeration is where the aerator sits in the water: surface spray aerators, as the name suggests, sit on top of the water and throw water droplets through the air, while sub surface – or diffused – aerators work by compressing oxygen and pumping it into the water from the bottom. Deciding which to go for depends on surface area, depth, quality of incoming water and available power.
Both are manufactured with one of the higest marine grade stainless steels on the market making them corrosion resistant and built to last, and they limit the use of chemicals too, providing another tick to the sustainability box of every venue. With little to no maintenance required, Otterbine aerators have some of the highest oxygen transfer and pumping rates in the industry with independent testing from the University of Minnesota and GSEE proving it.
