I agree with all of the posters here including Bill who is obviously extremely knowledgeable on the subject. I don't crank up my summer compressors until the time the ponds start to stratify in late May and shut them down when the water turns over. I hook up smaller compressors and a single stone in the winter in 3 to 4 feet of water in the ponds I have fish in.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
