As important as air for breathing!

Oxygen determines not only our life, but also the life of your pond dwellers and even that of the pollutant degrading beneficial bacteria – but this only applies when there is enough oxygen available.

The right oxygen supply for your pond

What do you need to remember?

How does oxygen enter your pond water? As long as the oxygen concentration of our air (21 %) is higher than in the pond water, oxygen (O2) will always diffuse from the air through the water surface into the pond water. The larger the surface, the higher the gas exchange. Wave movement, diffuser stones with air bubbles, waterspouts and waterfalls enlarge the surface and thus increase the oxygen content in the water.

For very deep ponds with plenty of fish the water surface is no longer sufficient for the oxygen supply and needs to be supported by technology (as mentioned above). To solve this problem JBL offers you the JBL PondOxi-Set for strong aeration. In summer especially you need to help your pond animals, as warm water absorbs considerably less oxygen than cold water. Having combatted and killed your algae, you definitely need to ensure there is a strong aeration. The degrading bacteria consume unbelievable amounts of oxygen. This even reaches a point where the lack of oxygen means the bacteria can’t degrade anymore. It is really important to read up a little on the subject of oxygen and to check with a water test.

Oxygen supply in winter

In the cold season the animals gather at the pond bottom which is the warmest place (about 4 °C). If you now mix the water layers using a pump, air stones etc. the pond can continue to freeze and cause problems. An ice cover hinders the gas exchange at the surface. To avoid this an ice preventer in combination with an aeration device is paramount ( JBL PondOxi-Set )!

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
