- Pump station installation, repair and specifications – from small booster applications to 50 hp electronic stations for alternatives to city water supplies
Fountain Aerators
Aeration is a highly effective means of maintaining clean water in lakes and ponds. There are different types of aeration equipment, from onshore air compressors to floating windmills which all perform the same job. Fountain aerators are very decorative, yet functional devices. They come in a variety of patterns – from 50 foot high geysers, to spraying flutes and fans, to multi-tiered plumes of cascading water. More importantly, they also add dissolved oxygen to water. This minimizes the buildup of algae, bottom sludge, and water stagnation which can lead to foul odors and mosquito problems.
At Aqua-Mist, we tailor the use of aeration equipment to our clients’ needs. We install and service only the most dependable aeration equipment.
Pond Management
Stormwater ponds have become an integral part of new development in our environmentally conscious world. Awareness of water quality has never been more important. A clean, healthy pond is a valuable resource for its beauty, for recreation, and as a potential source for irrigation water.
Stormwater runoff containing lawn chemicals, sediments, and automotive fluids from roads can contaminate the water in your pond and lead to problems with unsightly, foul smelling algae blooms. Environmentally safe microbial products can assist in maintaining or reaching the goal of better water quality. Treatments beyond aeration may be the difference between a healthy pond and a health hazard.
Our pond management team can provide a thorough review of your pond or lake and offer solutions for any issues that affect your water quality.
Pumping Stations
From 1/2 hp booster pumps to 50 hp pumping stations, Aqua-Mist is one of the industry leaders for installation and maintenance of pump applications for irrigation.
Since 2007 we have been involved with technologies that provide for the future of landscape irrigation, utilizing alternative water supplies that collect stormwater. From suction lift to vertical turbines to computer controlled Variable Frequency Drives, our dedicated pump specialists are available for your next project.
Backflow Testing
All potable water supplies must be protected from contamination. Industrial processes, wastewater facilities, HVAC operations and irrigation systems all use water. Both the National plumbing code and the American Water Works Association require the use of backflow prevention devices on public water supplies.
Aqua-Mist has 3 certified backflow inspectors on staff. We are licensed to test and repair backflow devices in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Local building codes may govern the frequency of required testing. We recommend yearly inspections to protect your potable water supply.
