Select Series II 5HP Aeration Fountain – Super Jimmy

Select Series II 5HP Aeration Fountain – Super Jimmy

Select Series II Floating Fountains, designed by US-based Aqua Control , feature horsepower available in 5HP and 7.5HP. Ideal for large-scale bodies of water and maximum sprays that really impress, these large fountains are perfect for commercial settings. Aside from creating beautiful waterworks displays, aeration fountains play a crucial role in improving water quality. These fountains provide more oxygen to your water, which in turn decreases algal blooms, keeps fish healthier and keeps your water clearer.

Select Series II 5HP Fountain Kits come with:

• Lockable control panel with built in light circuit and twin motor & light timers
• 3 Phase (400V, 10AMPS, 3.7KW)
• Fountain float
• Motor suction screen
• 2 mooring stakes and 30m mooring rope

Motor Cord:

• Motor cord: 55m or 75m

5HP Select Series II LED Lighting Kits

• 4 LED Lights per kit
• 80 Watt
• Red, Green & Blue Auto Sequencing
• Light cord: 55m or 75m

Benefits:

• Increases oxygen in water
• Greatly reduces likelihood of algal blooms
• Promotes good fish health
• Keeps water clearer
• Improves overall health of water body
• Aesthetically pleasing

How does it work? Simple – just place the fountain where you want it in your water and switch it on. These fountains are completely safe to use in water where optimal spray distance is accounted for.

Targets

• Provides more oxygen to water
• Decreases algal blooms
• Keeps fish healthier
• Keeps water clearer

What does an Aeration Fountain do?

The aeration fountain works to increase the amount of oxygen in the water and in turn removes toxins, metals and other dissolved gasses that may be present. The increase in oxygen may prevent algal blooms and will increase the overall health of the fish and aquatic plant life found within the water. It will also act as a long lasting aquatic weed and algae control.

What is the difference between the half HP and the 2 HP fountains?

The size of the motor dictates the amount of water the fountain can aerate. The half HP (Horsepower) fountain will aerate bodies of water up to ½ and acre or 2,050m² and between half a metre and 6m in depth. The 2 HP fountain is able to aerate larger bodies of water, up to 4,000m² and deeper than 4m in depth.

What is Thermal Stratification?

Thermal stratification is the layering of warmer, oxygen rich water near the surface on top of cooler, oxygen deprived water towards the bottom. The transition between these layers is called the thermocline. The differences in water density at the thermocline prevents the water from mixing. Our Aerators use diffusers to pump air through the diffuser membranes. This air then makes its way to the pond surface in the form of millions of tiny bubbles. As these bubbles travel upward through the layers of thermal stratification they entrain water with them. This water is carried to the surface where it becomes naturally oxygenated, thus aerating the waterbody.

What are some benefits of aeration?

By aerating and circulating from the pond bottom up, the toxic gasses previously trapped under the thermocline can escape, thereby providing a balanced habitat for aquatic life. The aeration also creates aerobic conditions near the pond bottom where microbial processes can naturally break down nutrients which would otherwise be used in the production of noxious aquatic weeds and algae. Lake bed aeration systems are the most efficient and cost effective way to aerate water bodies. Our lake bed aeration systems provide a complete ready to install solution for waterways with low oxygen levels, sludge build up and temperature variances in the water column (stratification).
