RC51 you mentioned when you started your system that you did not smell anything. You were expecting a horrible sulfur smell. Why? Is this a normal occurrence - smelling sulfur? I have not heard or read anything like a sulfur smell with aeration systems. Am I missing something?
The current pond project basically is two ponds in one. One has an island in the middle that when the water levels drop during the summer when local cattle ranchers are pumping from their wells. When that happens, this pond gets cut into two sections. One section is about 7 to 8 feet deep. The section that gets cut off is only about 3 to 4 feet deep after the water levels drop. The other pond is basically separate with a connecting channel to the other pond. So it really is "one" pond, but for aeration, it really is two ponds.
Tranquility, you were able to purchase just the diffusers from Vertex? I thought they just sold whole systems. I do like their products from what I've read so far. Do you know what manufacturer of motors/pumps they use?
For this project, I'm getting my feet wet. So I'm asking lots of questions so that I don't have to come back and re do an entire system at an extra expense. It is kind of like measure twice, cut once. I usually over engineer or over think my work. But that is how I do things.
