Trying to Put Together an Aeration System - 08/21/13 04:24 PM
Hello All:
This is my first post on Pond Boss. What a great resource. As I type, my pond is being dug. Though not finalized, it will most likely be in the 1/2 acre range. The depth remains to be seen. When I get home this evening, I will learn whether they hit ledge or not. But my sense is that with the dam, I will be able to get 12 feet easy.
Based on what I have read here regarding aeration equipment, I have put together a proposed system. I would greatly appreciate any feedback you may have.
Gaust 1/4 HP rotary vane compressor
Vertex XL2 Coactive Airstation
100' BottomLine self-weighted aeration tubing
As for a housing, I love George1's Igloo cooler idea and plan to copy.
I think I can pull it all off for around $750.
Thank you for your thoughts, opinions and suggestions. They are greatly appreciated.
