Thanks for all the replies, I am just trying to figure out what I need I suppose.

The system was off for about 6 years and I just turned it back on last year when I took ownership of the house from my mother.

The bass and bluegill seemed just fine with the aerators off all those years.

I remember a few dead fish over the years but no big fish kills.

As far as I know the aerators were installed to reduce muck and weed growth.

May have just been a good aerator salesman also.

Is 24/7 aeration the best bet?
