ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for improvement of water quality in a pond or similar body of water. A main conduit is located below the water surface and extending generally parallel to the shoreline. A plurality of distribution conduits are attached at intervals to the main conduit and operated sequentially so that water pumped through the system causes circulation of water in the pond. Each distribution conduit will preferably incorporate an aspirator to aerate the pumped water. The pumped water will also normally contain a mixture of microorganisms, enzymes and nutrients which are discharged into the body of water to clarify the body of water of contaminants and to maintain the water quality thereafter. Also disclosed is a method of improving water quality using the apparatus and the mixture. The invention provides for thorough, efficient and rapid decontamination of ponds and elimination of stagnant areas, as well as for maintaining the ponds in clean and healthy conditions. It is advantageously used for golf courses, parks and similar areas, where the treated water is to be subsequently used for irrigation of the soil and vegetation.
