I've been in progress on deep water sanctuary aeration setup for a while now. Planning to deploy 2 stations, 3 diffusers each, at 18 and 24 feet deep along the main levee of my big pond.

The question of the day is, is there any issues with burying airline that's larger than needed? Understanding pneumatic pressure I don't believe there is, but wanted some expert opinions.

I ask because at a farm closeout auction this week I bought (among other things) around 1000 feet of 1 inch irrigation line. I know this is overkill but it was a heck of a deal...any issue with using this as my supply line for the 2 stations?
