Aeration for Ponds and Cisterns   Water Quality Products January 2003   Jeff Roseman, Aqua Ion Plus+ Technologies
Using oxygen for the natural cleansing of water is becoming a viable alternative for pond and cistern owners in reducing the use of chemicals to fight the bacteria and algae that can become a nuisance. An aerobic bacterium needs oxygen in order to maintain the balance of nature. This article will take a look at some methods for increasing oxygen content, Henry's Law and applications that benefit from increased levels of O2.

Oxygen is vital to the life cycle common to water. It is essential to keep organisms living, to sustain species reproduction and for the development of populations. Oxygen is soluble in water in direct proportion to the partial pressure in the gas phase, while solubility decreases as temperature increases. Salt water holds less oxygen than fresh water. Oxygen enters the water by absorption directly from the atmosphere or by plant photosynthesis. It is removed by respiration of organisms and by organic decomposition. During respiration and decomposition, animals and plants consume dissolved oxygen and liberate carbon dioxide.
