No hijack at all. It is all part of the water quality discussion.
I had not thought about "bad water" being brought up and being a problem. That makes sense.
On the other hand, it would seem to me that would be a case of extremely undersized aeration. If say it was only turning the pond over in 48 hours instead of 24, would the water really get all that bad in a relativel short time frame? If it were turning over the air on the order of something like once every 5 days I could see where the lower water might be bad. At that rate though, the amount of "bad" water upwelling would be relatively low in volume also so its effects might be relatively modest.
Maybe a windmill system starting up after a week of no wind could be a problem.
Interesting subject.
Me thinks "it depends".
