Very good question Omaha I never thought of that. A windmill air station will run when there is wind and that could be right during the heat of the day you never know right! Course here lately we haven't had a bit of wind to go with this heat wave!!


Right. I'm thinking way down the road here, but after talking to some of the aeration experts at PBIV I'm worried that I'm going to have to get a box down by the pond by the time I'm ready to aerate because a windmill won't give me what we need for our little pond. It could operate at the exact time I don't want it too, causing a deadly turnover. So I'm really curious if we should just abandon that idea and set our sites on getting electricity down there somehow.
