Abstract
An apparatus for cleaning and aeration of open bodies of water includes a floating structure partially extending above a water surface and having at least one opening in its lower region through which, water flows into the apparatus, and a fan arranged in the upper region of the floating structure for creating vacuum that enables flow of water inside of the floating structure. An air receiving space is defined inside of the floating structure. A perforated plate which is located below a water surface established in the floating structure, limits the air receiving space from above. The air receiving space is connected with atmosphere by a gas conducting conduit.
