I have had my pond since 1999. I have a blower, quarter horse power that is doing a great job of aeration. The pond is 17 feet deep and the defusers go clear to the bottom.The 4 defusers are connected to a plastic board so it does not sit in the mud. The one thing I need to change is to change to sinking tubing. Mine is sitting on the top of the water and I think it looks bad. But this blower goes 24/7. It mixes the water just right for swimming, no cold spots. What does cool the water is my lovely growth of cattails around the pond. I really need to get rid of those, they are alot of work in the spring when the dead vegetation needs to be scooped out of the pond. But the aeriation keeps the water crystal clear with no algae or scum. It is a joy to swim in. Bobbi

Go for it!!
