Best way to oxygenate pond water

[cheshireCarper]

Whats another way to oxygenate my pond... Ive got all the plants and weeds etc, got a bit of a fountain...
Is there any not so expensive pumps or anything, i was thinking on the lines of getting a bigger version of the one you would use in a fish tank with the air stone... Thing is it looks like there gunna be nearly a £100quid.

Does anyone no of anything cheaper and where in relation to macc can i pick one up.

Cheers

I got a ball thing from stapley or bridgemere i can't remember. Bout 10/20 notes. Plug in emits oxygen from the ball that sits at the bottom of the pond. Really good plus the fish love it

By an Air pump with 4-6 outlets about £20-30

Depends how big your pond is matey, mine's quite large and by the time I priced up how many ceramics and metres of tubing I needed it came to a similar price as what a diffuser would cost, so invested in one of those, they dont clog as its a self closing membrane, its very effective and the fish love it.You'll still need an air pump but only one airline.

The pond in question is 12ft x 5ft and about 4ft deep so not quite as big as yours bet... Do you think its gunna be to big for mine?

I sought advice from a koi forum and their advice was you can not have too much oxygen in the water, more the better for healthy happy fish.
The change in the activity levels in my fish after installation was vast

Ebays prob your best bet for an air pump matey.I got a pretty good deal on mine,when I was on the look out for one, I saw some listed with airline and stones included. The pumps aren't weatherproof though, you will need to cover it if you need to locate it near the pond and dont have a shed etc near by to house it in.
