Has anyone ever used a regular type air compressor as an areator? I am talking about the kind that you would have in the garage (5hp) one that would run air tools and such. Would it just cost too much to run one for a 7-8hrs a nite? I want to buy an areator for my new pond, and I also would like to have an air compressor for the garage, I could run a 1" pvc pipe to the pond regulate it down and kill two birds with one stone. Would this work? My pond is 3/4acre average depth is 8-10 feet the deepest is 20-24ft. I was thinkig about two defusers since it is rectangle. Thanx in advance.
