Hi all. I am trying to decide which aerator to get for my "overstocked" pond.

Pond is around an acre,(actually, probably less) basically a rounded triangle shape. It was dug by dragline, over 40 yrs ago, and the bucket couldnt reach the middle, so I have a submerged island about 35 X 55 ft or so in the middle of the pond.

WHEN THE POND IS FULL:

Depth on the island is around 3.5-4.5 ft, and the "moat" circling the island goes from about 6 ft on the shallower end to a little over 9 ft on the deep end.

Electricity is available within 150 ft, so windmills are out.

I hear the Kasco aerators are considered industry standard, but they float and boil the water . Not sure how well this would aerate a 6-8 ft deep pond.

Should I be looking at the "diffuser" type aerators?

Thanks!
