Bender,

How deep was your output originally ? and do you know how much head pressure you had behind the water from the well ?

Just thinking out loud here. It might be necessary to initially pump the well water into a small holding tank ( maybe 50-100 gallons ) and then use a small booster pump with a higher head pressure to push the water and air to the bottom.

The venturi we have setup right now is only 3' underwater but theres a clear trail of bubbles for 15-20 ' from the outlet. This water is being pushed by a 2hp pump.

I would think starting a system like this and disturbing the lower water levels would have the same effect as adding a diffuser would. Perhaps short sessions initially or following the startup procedure for aeration would eliminate the YP die off ?
