1 The beautiful way to ewate Rain Jet Aquatator Aerators: The natural solution to water problems in your lake. Now you can control unsightly algae and weed growth nature's way-through proper water circulation. With a Rain jet Aerator, you'll draw water up from the bottom and then turn that water into beautiful fountain patterns. The spray and wave action of the fountain puts oxygen back into the water to fight weed build-up. The pumping action prevents thermal stratification by pulling the cooler bottom water up to the warmer layers where algae growth occurs. The result is cleaner, odor-free lakes, even during those hot summer months. Beautifully, naturally without chemicals or dyes. Only Rainjet Aquavator Aerators offer these exclusive features: Interchangeable Nozzles : Eight different fountain nozzles are available for natural water patterns. Changing nozzles and patterns is as easy as loosening three screws. Molded-in Lighting Wells : illuminate the fountain spray pattern for dramatic nighttime effects. It's easy with Rain Jet's lighting packages. Choose 3, 6, or 9 lights with 7 different lens colors and 3 different wattages. Order the lights with your aerator or add them later. Float Leveling Adjustment : A special fill cap allows the aerator to be lowered closer to the surface for a more natural appearance. Built to Last: Stainless steel Franklin motors, stainless steel screen filter, bolts and hardware, molded-in brass inserts, cross-linked polyethylene float, machined casting resin and brass nozzles. Models and Specs: Five pump motor sizes- lh, %, 1, 1liz, and 2 hp. Lighting wattages from 600 to 4500 watts. Ordering a Rain jet Aerator is simple and set-up is easy. So if you've been depending upon chemicals to keep your pond clean, give it up. Go natural with a Rain jet Aquavator Aerator-the beautiful way to clear the water.

The sports turf industry has borrowed techniques from water treatment facilities which improve the biological balance in lakes and reservoirs. By focusing on the amount and distribution of dissolved oxygen, managers can help prevent algae blooms and fish kills and slow the degradation of lakes. Three different types of lake aerators are available today to improve oxygen levels and prevent stratification in lakes. They can be used in combination with other aquatic weed control methods for clear and sparkling lakes year-round. 20 PALM VALLEY: A COMMUNITY CENTERED ON GOLF Sunrise Company has demonstrated at Palm Valley Country Club in Palm Desert, CA that centering communities around golf courses is a powerful sales tool. Palm Valley is the latest Sunrise community designed and built with the help of golf course architect and urban planner Ted Robinson, The responsibility of keeping Sunrise's golf courses competitive in the Palm Springs desert resort area falls on Dennis Orsborn. 24 REPAIRING AND REBUILDING SPRINKLER HEADS Budget-conscious turf managers can save a considerable amount of money by repairing and rebuilding used sprinkler heads.
