Pond Boss Forums AERATION Should I aerate? Inject air into main water line?

IMO injecting a significant amount air into a 100 GPM flow of water that is exiting into the bottom of the pond would have tangible benefit. (I would use a venturi if possible). The air bubbles generated will pump a considerable amount of water to the surface using the same principle (expanding bubbles) as a bottom diffuser. The bottom diffuser is more efficient, as it generates a huge amount of small bubbles, but if you are pumping the well water anyway, your method is "free" and would help your low DO well water mix more quickly with the water in the bottom of the pond and move a significant amount of water to the surface.

Just my 1 cent........
