Avoid freezing

Can aeration prevent water from freezing?

Yes, aeration can prevent water from freezing and maintain a hole in the ice. By circulating warmer water from greater depth ice forming is prevented. At ‘Ouwehand’ Zoo, a large number Oxydent Diffusers keep the water fresh in the summer and prevent the lions from walking away over ice in winter. In Breukelen, Oxydent Aerators prevent the water for the firefighting sprinklers system from freezing. Numerous fishponds have ice holes and in marinas antique wooden ships are protected from ice by Oxydent Aerators.
