No matter what size a pond may be, it will most likely need a pond aerator especially if the water here is not moving. 
In some cases of larger ponds or lakes, the stagnant water problem does not surface until such time that people notice the slick mud at the bottom and the presence of too much algae in the water. A pond aerator is of great use for cases like these.
Usually, a pond with no outright natural water source and outlet is most likely to turn stagnant as time goes by. This is because there is no water movement therefore no filtration as well.
How a Pond Aerator Functions
A pond aerator functions by circulating the water in the body of water. Circulating the water means that the pond aerator ensures that the oxygen content of the body of water is highly similar in all parts, may it be the bottom or the top part of the water. The pond aerator adds oxygen directly to the water. This uniform circulation of oxygen is essential especially for ponds where there are life forms that dwell in the bottom of the body of water.
