If your pond freezes over, be prepared to either move the diffuser from the deepest point in the pond to around 3' deep for the winter, or put in a remote valve box and have winter and summer diffusers.

For a circular pond that is 12' deep and one acre in size, that $2500 price tag sounds high, and I'm a Vertex dealer. A simple system for a pond that size with 3 diffusers and 150' of bottom line tubing should be closer to 2/3 that price (minus shipping)


I just read this post and your response. I am preparing to buy my system now and DONT want to have to move my diffusers come season changes. So you mentioned a "remote valve box and have winter and summer diffusers"

what does this look like or consist of? Is it something you buy or build or both.

Thanks. DAVE
