Overview
When stagnant water began causing odour issues and mosquito problems in a residential estate, the strata management team knew they needed a reliable, long-term solution. They reached out to General Pump Company (GPC) for expert advice — and we were more than happy to help bring life back to their lakes.
The Challenge
The estate featured several man-made lakes designed to enhance the community’s natural environment. However, the existing aeration system had failed, resulting in poor water circulation and oxygen levels.
Without adequate aeration:
-
Algae growth accelerated.
-
Mosquito populations increased.
-
Unpleasant odours became a concern for residents.
-
The water quality and overall visual appeal of the lakes declined.
The strata management company needed a reliable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance solution to restore water health and resident satisfaction.
Our Approach
General Pump Company conducted an on-site assessment to understand the scope of the issue and the specific conditions of each lake — including size, depth, water movement, and existing electrical setup.
After evaluating multiple options, our team recommended the installation of floating pontoon aeration fountains — a versatile and effective choice for restoring oxygen levels in still or semi-still bodies of water.
The Solution
We supplied and commissioned a complete aeration fountain system designed for both performance and efficiency.
Key components included:
-
Floating pontoon-mounted aeration fountains, providing even water circulation and surface movement.
-
Integrated timer controls to automate operation (12 hours on / 12 hours off), reducing power consumption while maintaining effective aeration.
-
Professional installation by our trusted contractor, ensuring safety, reliability, and minimal disruption to residents.
This setup not only improved water quality but also added a visually appealing feature to the estate’s landscape.
The Outcome
Within days of installation, the difference was clear — literally and figuratively.
✅ Improved water circulation and oxygenation
✅ Reduced odours and stagnant conditions
✅ Healthier aquatic environment with reduced mosquito breeding
✅ Happier residents enjoying cleaner, fresher surroundings
The new system operates quietly, efficiently, and automatically, ensuring the lakes remain in peak condition with minimal manual intervention.
The Impact
This project highlights how the right pumping and aeration solution can do more than just move water — it can transform an environment, improve community wellbeing, and protect local ecosystems.
Whether it’s a residential lake, a golf course pond, or an industrial water body, General Pump Company provides tailored aeration and water management solutions that deliver real, measurable results.
