The Aquaerator was originally designed for reservoirs, developed by witnessing the problems with previous aerators. The aim of the Aquaerator is to destratify, mix and aerate water bodies of any size.Thermal stratification in lakes is caused by a heating of the surface waters shutting off the convection current which mixes the reservoir leaving the surface water warm, well oxygenated with a diverse and abundant ecosystem.. As convection is the major method of heat transfer within a water body, hot air rises and cool air sinks, the water is unable to mix. This leaves a very warm top layer (epilimnion), a cold bottom layer (hypolimnion) and the transition layer (thermocline or metalimnion). As plants require light for photosynthesis, which creates oxygen, this leaves the epilimnion with plentiful oxygen but the hypolimnion cold bottom water with very little or no oxygen and no way to mix the two layers.

We have maintained and installed progressively improved aeration systems in Bristol Water`s reservoirs over the last forty years.

Lakeside is a man made aquifer fed lake of 22 Ha and has no through flow of water. This standing water creates an unmixed and heavily stratified lake. Previous reports showed that the lake was subject to toxic blue green algal blooms and low Dissolved Oxygen (DO) in the deeper waters (11m), which coupled with a high temperature drop through the water column, meant that the lake was struggling to support the nature reserve and aquatic flora and fauna.

AMG Limited provides its clients with a complete professional installation service and solutions for improving the water quality of reservoirs, lakes and fish farms.
