Resolve Poor Water Quality With A Custom Aeration System

Transform the health and appearance of your waterways with effective aeration solutions.

Water aeration is the process of adding oxygen to water by increasing its exposure to air. It involves various techniques and equipment to introduce air or create turbulence in the water, allowing for the exchange of gases and promoting the dissolution of oxygen.

Whether you manage a lake, pond, reservoir, or other water body, aeration delivers a range of benefits, including

  • Improving water quality and clarity
  • Reducing unpleasant odours caused by stagnant water
  • Controlling excessive algae growth
  • Supporting healthier fish and aquatic ecosystems
  • Preventing stagnant conditions through continuous circulation
  • Creating a cleaner, more attractive environment for recreation and commercial use

Traditional vs ISS Flowthrough Aeration Systems

Traditional Diffuser Aeration Systems

  • Rely on separate airlines for each diffuser.
  • Have a complex network of airlines that can be costly to install and difficult to maintain.
  • Are manually balanced at bankside manifold.
  • Difficult to deploy effectively in long, linear waterbodies.
  • Difficult to maintain consistent airflow across all diffusers.

ISS Flowthrough Aeration Systems

  • Unique aeration system tailored to each waterbody.
  • Patented airflow regulation process allowing many diffusers to be operated from a single bore airline.
  • Low CapEx and OpEx
  • Deliver the correct optimal airflow from system regardless of depth or position.
  • Effectively a self balancing design making system simple to operate.

Why Choose Diffuser Based Aeration Systems?

Diffuser based aeration systems are a proven and effective approach for aerating, mixing waterbodies and raising dissolved oxygen levels, which is vital for a healthy waterway.

Each diffuser acts as an airlift pump entraining water from throughout the water column within the rising bubble plume, which then spreads across the surface where it is oxygenated by the atmosphere before heading back towards the bed and diffuser.

Cleaner Water Starts Here

1. Make An Enquiry

Get in touch with our team to discuss your water quality issues and environmental or commercial requirements. Once we have all the necessary information (waterway size, depth and location), our team will present a custom proposal.

2. Site Survey

A bathymetric survey is performed to understand the exact conditions of the waterbody. This survey is carried out by one of our water aeration and waterway management specialists and will help us ensure that the system we design for you works to meet your needs.

3. Design and Engineer

When all the required information has been gathered, our design and engineering team will proceed with manufacturing your bespoke aeration system to specification.

4. System Install

The finalised ISS Flowthrough aeration system will be installed on-site by our installation team, who have extensive experience in deploying aeration systems in various waterways.

5. Ongoing Support

Good news! Once Your system has been installed and is fully operational – our specialist maintenance team will be on hand to ensure that the system continues to operate at optimal efficiency.
