Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions fountain or bottom aeration which is best

Do a search here under this heading and maybe Questions and Observations for: fountains. Then a search for: bottom aeration. Do some reading and once you understand the function, pros and cons of both, you can decide which is best for your goals. Maybe it will take both types to meet your goal or goals.

Fountains pretty and impressive, BUT are expensive to operate because you are expecting an electricity consuming motor to THROW water that weighs 8 lbs/gallon into the air (5 gal water bucket weighs 40 lbs). The higher you throw the water the more energy it takes to get it up there.
