I laugh at myself when trying to discuss pond tec stuff with Bill Cody and esshup. You both know I don't know much about pond stuff lol. For now I just thought I would throw out my experience for anyone interested. As far as cleaning the tubes, When water warms up, I will pull them up and take a medium stiff bristle brush to them. I only clean what I can see and have no idea on how many pores might be clogged. I don't spend a lot of time cleaning them with the brush. but just enough to clean off anything I see that's hanging on to the tube area. After that I isolate the air from a few of them to increase air amount to each for a good blowing out. I will say for now (based on water temps) it will turn the pond over as needed for now.

I know from the past five yrs of reading here that Ted Lea made a good impression with people and was very knowledgeable when it came to all this stuff. I'm sure he is missed.

Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
