Sykes Pumps saves ecosystem of lake

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

One of the most renowned fishing lakes in Britain suffered with a number of fish and plant deaths recently as the algae in the lake began to decay and rot, inevitably resulting in an oxygen shortage within the lake.

Being the UK’s foremost pump supplier, Sykes Pumps were on site within a few hours, installing two 6” Venturi Aerators on each side of the lake. This proved effective as fewer fish were dying.

Mark Warner, Pump Sales Engineer, stated this solution “saved the fishery business and the customer was extremely grateful for our expertise”. Sykes Pumps has extensive experience in environmental industries and supply premium reliable equipment to cover every possible situation.

Fishing-Venturi Aerator System

Sykes Pumps have been contacted by members of a local fishing club that were experiencing major problems with oxygen deficiency at a fishing lake under their control. The hot weather had resulted in the loss of over 600 fish, a costly and traumatic experience for the members.

Sykes Pumps mobilised their Venturi system the same day and the system was up and running within a few hours ensuring the oxygen levels increased to the extent that no further fish were lost. The package system, incorporating a Sykes 6” silenced pump, hoses and the Venturi Aerator is simple and easy to install with no moving parts and requires little supervision once installed.
