I am about 10 miles south of 70 and a few miles off 65. maybe 2-1/2 hours from Chillicothe.
The smell will be disappear from the air boil once you have brought the aeration online. It will still be on the bottom of the pond if disturbed. I brought my diffusers up to clean and extend yesterday and they did not smell too pleasing. That's just the nature of the depths of a pond.
