Whether you need more water movement, just like the look of a fountain, or have a lake or pond with dissolved oxygen problems, we have an aerator or fountain that can meet your needs! Fountains are decorative, but also increase water movement and provide some aeration. Aerators are designed to keep the water oxygenated, to the benefit of fish and other aquatic life. In some cases aeration can lower nutrient release from sediments and reduce algae growth. Also, PLM offers winter season heated storage for your fountain unit. Inquire about this program! (It is definitely worth it!)
Professional Lake Management is a Dealer and Factory-Certified Service Center for Otterbine Barebo, Inc. fountains and aerators. We also sell Desert Rain, Oase, and Kasco fountains.
