Pond Boss Forums AERATION Should I aerate? When to stop aerating

I moved mine closer to shore so there is open water to shore. I almost lost 2 of my Springer Spaniels when they went swimming in January in the open water after the geese that were on the pond. I had to really scramble to break the ice so they could swim close enough to shore so I could grab them and get them out of the water. They were too cold and tired to climb up on the ice by themselves. Temp was near 0�F with wind chills in the -20�F range. Took 20 minutes in the shower under hot water before they stopped shivering.
