Is anyone using a venturi for aeration?


I just set up a trial venturi aeration system yesterday in our small (<1/8 ac) pond.
I'm using a Aquastrong Submersible Utility Pump - 4500 GPH 1 HP, with a 1.5" venturi.

Any thoughts or advice appreciated.

I hope it works. Be sure to report back the results as the summer progresses.

Will do. Duckweed is currently covering approximately 95% of the pond surface.
I'll add some photos of the venturi set-up soon.
