Unlike alternative pond aeration technologies, the MARS Pond Aeration System is designed to treat the root causes of green algae growth. These causes are excess nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorous, that run off into the pond from nearby yards, farms, roads, and houses. When they inhabit the pond in abundance, it is these elements that fuel green algae growth. Therefore, in order to properly stop algae growth, it is the nutrients that must be addressed. Very few pond aerators can do this, but the MARS Pond Aeration System does.
Firstly, the MARS Aerator uses Patented Double Bubble Technology™, originally developed in the wastewater treatment industry to oxygenate (break down by adding oxygen) nutrients, and mix the water. Over time, these two facets of the MARS Pond Aerator work together to break down the excess nutrients to the point that a natural balance is restored to the ecosystem. You can read more about Double-Bubble Technology on the Pond Blog.
In the instance that simple MARS Pond Aeration isn't enough to stymie algae growth, there are other environmentally friendly pond management solutions to be considered. For instance, Triplepoint Blend Pond Pro-Biotic works as a catalyst with the MARS to naturally rebalance the ecosystem. Pro-Biotic is essentially a collection of bacteria that is specifically made to break down nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous. In this way, it works in conjunction with MARS Pond Aeration to break down these nutrients and prevent algae proliferation. You can read more about Pro-Biotic on the Pond Blog as well.
Once these nutrients are successfully broken down, they are no longer able to fuel the green algae overgrowth that leads to ecosystem degradation and eventual pond eutrophication. With its Double-Bubble Technology and Pond Pro-Biotic, the MARS Pond Aeration System is the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly pond treatment system available.
