How far is the barn from the lake? We have easily run up to 5,000 feet of 1" pipe to feed up to 6 diffusers in the lake.
Compressor location will be at your barn, connected to a single 1" pipe for the long run to the lake. There a valve box is placed to operate as many diffusers as needed in your pond.
I don't have electricity at the barn, unfortunately. It sits 1/4 mile off the road. The pond will be within 200 feet of the barn, and also 1/4 mile off the road. Maybe I should get the electric company to drop a line at the road and run a compressor from there with an underground air line back to the pond? Any ideas how to theft proof the compressor at the road?
The generator idea is mainly for the pond. I could live without electricity at the barn, but would really like to aerate the pond.
