Had a small pond dug a few weeks ago. The size is 75'X45' with a depth of ten feet. Wanting to aerate it and not sure what size pump I would need. Would a pump with an out put of .8 CFM be OK for this small of pond?

Yes .8 may be Ok as long as it doesnt go lower with 5 psi back pressure, If your looking at a linear pump be sure to look at the cfm rating at your depths pressure. Also depending on what type diffuser you use you may need up to 1 lb to inflate a bladder if your considering a rubber membrane.

Thanks for the info. Would be using stone diffusers a couple feet off the bottom
