What is a de strat pump?

A de strat pump, or de-stratification pump, is a device used in water bodies like lakes, reservoirs, and tanks to mix different layers of water, especially in thermally stratified environments. By circulating water from deeper, cooler layers to the surface, it helps to improve oxygen levels, enhance water quality, and prevent stagnation. This process can be beneficial for aquatic ecosystems and is often employed in fish farming and water management practices.
