What does a pool aerator do?

A pool aerator is a device used to introduce air into a swimming pool's water. This can be done for several reasons, but the main purpose of a pool aerator is to improve water quality and circulation. Aeration helps to reduce the amount of algae, bacteria, and other contaminants in pool water, and it also helps to prevent the water from becoming stagnant. This can make the water more inviting to swimmers, and it can also help to keep the pool equipment in good working order.

Pool aerators work by creating bubbles of air that rise to the surface of the water. These bubbles help to break up the surface tension of the water, which allows more oxygen to dissolve into it. Oxygen is essential for the growth of healthy bacteria, which help to break down organic matter in the water. Aeration also helps to release carbon dioxide from the water, which can help to reduce the pH level of the water.

Pool aerators are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they can be installed either above or below the waterline. Some pool aerators are powered by electricity, while others are powered by water pressure. The type of pool aerator that is best for a particular pool will depend on the size and depth of the pool, as well as the desired level of aeration.

Here are some of the benefits of using a pool aerator:

* Improves water quality

* Reduces algae and bacteria growth

* Prevents water stagnation

* Makes water more inviting to swimmers

* Helps keep pool equipment in good working order

* Can reduce pH level of water
