Incorporated in 1990, EPAeration, Inc., was founded to deal directly with the problems of water quality across a wide spectrum of markets. These include agriculture and food-processing, golf courses, resorts, and commercial and residential developments.

Water is the most vital of our resources. Today, more than ever, concern about water quality and sources of pollution is uppermost in the minds of people throughout the developed - and developing - world. The world's supply of fresh water is finite; it may run to the oceans and return to the land as precipitation, but the supply does not get larger. Twenty percent of the world's fresh water is contained in one location: Lake Baikal in Siberia.

The use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemical agents designed to enhance or control the growth of plants and other organisms has produced both benefits and potentially hazardous consequences. Chemical use can be expensive, generally must be repeated regularly, and is increasing seen in a negative light by the general public - because it is perceived as the source of much of the water pollution problem. As a result, the past three decades have seen an increasing emphasis on the development of non-polluting, cost-effective alternatives.

Recent years have seen a major trend towards the use of effluent (treated waste) water for a number of irrigation purposes. This is particularly the case in golf course and resort developments, because of regulatory pressures and environmental concerns. Effluent water is generally higher in nutrients which encourage the growth of algae and bacteria, and may itself contain pathogenic organisms. Several of EP Aeration's agricultural customers are also engaged in mandated recapture and reuse of irrigation water.

Cost-effective, non-polluting treatment solutions are needed for water systems of all sizes and types, throughout the world. The alternatives are "zero" or heavily restricted growth and development, potentially lower crop yields (due to constraints on continued use of chemicals), and significant economic impact on industries heavily reliant on the use of water.

EP Aeration has devoted its more than 20 years of collective experience in ozone generation and water feature aeration to developing a product line which can address these problems. From bottom-laid, fine-bubble aeration/ozonation systems for lakes, ponds, and large water features, to ozonation systems for use in recirculation/closed loop treatment systems, EPAeration has the solution for your water problems.

The company also draws on technical and engineering expertise from a number of corporate associates. These range from our ozone equipment manufacturers, who design and build equipment to our specifications, to engineering and design firms who specialize in certain types of water features, or water treatment systems. If EPAeration doesn't have the complete answer to an unusual or complex problem, it has the resources, developed through years of contact and exchange of expertise, to help find it.
