Environmentally friendliness has moved from just a ‘fad’ to a part of our everyday lives—SUV Sales are plummeting and most homeowners are switching over to CFL light bulbs.

Gone are the days where money was spent on a whim, without regard for the environment. Homeowners are now looking for ways to save money & protect the environment at the same time.

Pond management is quickly moving to the forefront of this money and environment saving push.

But in order to fall into the eco-friendly category, pond management options must simultaneously accomplish three things:

1. Get the Job Done by reducing algae, odors, and mosquito breeding, and stopping fish kills
2. Minimize Resource Use by being efficient and self-sustaining—avoiding waste and saving money
3. Do No Harm to the ecosystem

So, what is the most eco-friendly pond management system available? Let’s take a look at how the conventional options stack up:

Chemical algaecides and herbicides are generally good at one thing: decimating the ecosystem in your pond. They will kill the growing algae and a few mosquito larvae, but does nothing to mitigate pond odors or fish kills.

In this regard, they certainly do not fit the requirements of “Do No Harm” and they barely “Get the Job Done.”

What’s more, chemicals don’t meet the “Low Resource Use” condition as their application can never be stopped—costing you more and more money into perpetuity.

Fountains lack adequate aeration, and basically perform no full water column mixing whatsoever, so pond management performance is quite limited.

In addition, throwing water into the air with a motor is energy intensive business—consuming as much as 3x more electricity than other pond management options and, therefore, wasting resources.

Fountains typically do not harm the environment, unless the pond owner makes up for its poor performance with toxic pond chemicals.

After purchased, windmills basically use no resources. But, their performance is absolutely minimal even when running at 100%–and that’s contingent on the wind blowing full speed all the time.

In reality, windmill aeration is inconsistent and underpowered at best. What good is an eco pond management system that simply doesn’t work the way you intended?

Spending money on something that doesn’t do much is certainly not eco-friendly.

The MARS Aeration System combines two components integral to pond management, the patented combination of Mixing & Aerating, and the synergistic use of the Triplepoint MARS Blend Probiotic.

The Mixing & Aerating dissuades algal growth, disrupts the mosquito breeding environment, oxygenates and freshens the odors, and prevents fish kills.

The Probiotic factors in as a ‘double whammy,’ using the Mixing & Aerating of the MARS to consume excess nutrients in your pond that would otherwise fuel algae growth, lead to pond odors, and contribute to fish kills.

This successful combination of Mixing, Aerating, & Probiotic is not only effective—but its energy efficient and eco-friendly as well!

Not only does the MARS System “Do No Harm,” it actually benefits your pond’s natural ecosystem.

As it stands, the MARS Aeration System is the only Eco-Friendly pond management option that can get the job done right, efficiently and effectively.
