Water Circulators & Aerators
for Ponds, Lakes & Lagoons
WWW.AQUAGO.CA
• To treat water quality problems of Ponds, Lakes & Lagoons
• To bring vital oxygen to aquatic fauna
• To restore aquatic ecosystems, fish farms, shellfish farming…
• To replace high energy consumption aeration systems or to maximize
performances of sewage
lagoons or ponds

Invasive Aquatic Plants - Algae Blooms – Odors – Sludge Accumulation
– Fish Kill –Release of Gases such as Methane (greenhouse effect
gases)…
are all signs of lake & pond eutrophication or the reduction of the overall
performance of a waste water treatment system that result in the reduction
of dissolved oxygen and the loss of biodiversity
Lakes, Ponds, Reservoirs, Sewage lagoons
What are the options?
Blowers, air diffusers and compressors are the most common options. Unfortunately,
installation, maintenance and overall cost of these systems can become excessive;
after 2 or 3 years, energy consumption and maintenance costs can largely surpass
the initial purchase cost. And what is there to say about the impacts of introducing
heated gases during heat waves? The negative impacts can greatly surpass the
positive impacts because of the reduced global oxygen content in hot liquids
and the greater potential of algae blooms and aquatic plant overgrowth.
Since 1999, Eco-Guide International (CANADA) and TechSub Industries Environment
(EUROPE) have joined their efforts in developing and producing autonomous
water circulators and aerators that are not only efficient but also ecological,
following today’s sustainable development path by reducing greenhouse
effect gases.
«The ascending and descending water movements created by an Aquago distributes
oxygen more uniformly within the water column, inhibiting the eutrophication
process and rebalancing the fauna/flora ratio without introducing an external
heat source that could be detrimental to natural or artificial aquatic systems.

The AQUAGO concept is inspired by the natural processes found in nature
oxygen
Nature works wonders…and it’s by observing and understanding the
natural processes of digestion and auto-regulationthat we find sustainable
solutions to today’s problems such as eutrophication of natural and
artificial water bodies as well as other water pollution problems. Ultimately,
these problems lead to an over-consumption of oxygen by scavengers and decomposers
which in turn leadto the mortality of fish and most of the aquatic organisms.
This results in a partial or complete imbalance of the aquatic ecosystem,
where algae, aquatic plants, and ultimately organic detritus accumulates in
the water bodysince they are no longer consumed by living organisms; hence
they are no longer part of the active and balanced aquatic food chain(aerobic
bacteria, aquatic invertebrates, aquatic insects, fish, etc…). This
can be observed on natural lakes and ponds, reservoirs, sewage lagoons (fresh,
brackish and sea water) since they all qualify as active aquatic ecosystems.
Oxygen return by active mixing is essential in order to bring back to
life and balance a body of water in distress

Once installed, they don’t cost anything
SUNGO
Energy :
Photovoltaics
Application :
Lakes; Up to 7 ha per machine
Sewage lagoons; 1 acre per machine
Recommended for water bodies that suffer from severe anoxic problems during
the summer period.
Strength :
Works even in low light conditions (cloudy and foggy); Sungo is the most powerful
water circulator of the Aquago product line when exposed to direct sunlight:
can bring up to 15kg O2/hr at 200C and can replace conventional mixers of
20HP or 14,9kilowatts or more.
VENTGO
Energy :
Wind
Application :
Up to 4ha per machine
Recommended for water bodies well exposed to winds and less than 8 m in depth
or slightly eutrophic.
Strength :
Works day and night, all year long in a regular manner. Only one anchor point.
VENTGO is activated by 8 km/h winds.
SUNGO is made to work in cloudy conditions;
It reaches maximum performance in full sunlight, precisely when meteorological
conditions
are most unfavourable for water quality.

The AQUAGOs have their own flotation system,are easily movable from one location
to another, can easily be anchored and the durability of the machines greatly
surpass the standards of other aeration systems presently on the market.
An evaluation of site conditions allowsus to define the optimal performances
of wind and/or solar powered AQUAGO.
«Custom designed» installations will allowan overall increase
in efficiency in order to fit your needs.
