A Quick Decision Guide for Smarter Water Management
Pond and aquaculture operators often rely on legacy systems like paddle wheel aerators or diffused air systems. But as water quality challenges grow and sustainability becomes a priority, many are now asking:
Is it time to upgrade my aeration system?
Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.
1️⃣ Are You Struggling to Maintain Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Levels?
If you constantly fight low DO, especially in the early morning or deeper zones, it could be a sign your current system isn’t efficient or effective anymore.
➡️ Upgrade Tip: Nanobubble systems can maintain high DO levels more uniformly, even at depth.
2️⃣ Are Your Energy Costs Increasing?
Traditional aeration systems often run continuously, consuming large amounts of electricity—especially paddle wheels.
➡️ Upgrade Tip: Nanobubble technology uses less power for better oxygen transfer, saving you money long-term.
3️⃣ Do You See Excessive Algae or Odors?
Poor water circulation and low oxygen levels lead to algae blooms and foul odors. If chemicals are your go-to fix, you may be masking the problem, not solving it.
➡️ Upgrade Tip: Nanobubbles naturally oxidize organic matter and suppress algae—without chemicals.
4️⃣ Are You Meeting Sustainability Goals?
Whether you’re farming shrimp, maintaining golf course ponds, or managing municipal water bodies, chemical-free treatment and reduced energy use are now standard expectations.
➡️ Upgrade Tip: Non-chemical, low-energy nanobubble systems help meet ESG targets and regulatory compliance.
5️⃣ Has It Been Over 5 Years Since Your Last System Review?
Technology and water quality demands evolve fast. If your system hasn’t been evaluated in several years, it might be outdated.
➡️ Upgrade Tip: Conduct a simple audit of your water system—
Ready for a Smarter Water Treatment System?
If any of the above sounds familiar, it might be time to explore a modern, energy-efficient upgrade. At IGS Water, we help pond managers, aquaculture farms, and commercial facilities transition to sustainable nanobubble-based water treatment.
