Last Summer I installed a large solar system that, among other things, runs a 1HP pump for my aeration. I chose to run 700' of airline and I chose wrong. The airline was not laid perfectly on grade and condensation killed me this Winter. Besides just freezing up, the condensation present in every dip of the line will also cause my pump to work harder than necessary for the rest of it's life. I am having to re-dig the line this Summer to fix the issue.
In hindsight, I am a huge fan of running power to the pond. If you choose to run air you better make sure the grade is perfect.
