A Plug for Vertex Waterfeatures System: I have had a Vertex System running 24/7 since December, 2006 and I just had Vertex rebuild the compressor. It has operated for THREE AND A HALF YEARS!!! 24/7 and not a minute of downtime. We were down to 16 degrees this winter here in Florida and had ice on the pond for the first time in the 25 years I have owned the pond. It is HOT here now and aeration is a must. Thanks to Sue Cruz and gang for a great product and service.
