Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions water temps with and without aeriation

Both my Thomas piston pumps make a lot of heat. I could not use the weighted hose off the pump because it would just balloon up and pop. We had to put in a hunk of air compressor hose to keep it from popping off or even ballooning up. We are pumping the air down 16 feet so there is a good amount of pressure.

When you compress air you get laden heat of compression and when you degas quickly or decompress you get frost or cooling effect. It is 100% normal to get heat from the outlet of any compressor.

I was going to make up a aluminum coil on the exhaust that is coiled in front of the cooling fan for the motor then flare the end for the air line. Aluminum is very very good at pulling heat out of anything.

I like the heat in the winter so the vent holes we have in the pump house we block off with foam insulation to hold the heat in.

Cheers Don.
