Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions How about this pump???

Would this pump work for a 3/4 acre pond deepest part is approx 24ft deep? I want to run two defusers, one on each side.http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?UID=2007042717050657&item=4-1768&catname=air

Sorry I do not know how to make address so you can just click on it. You may have to copy and paste it, to make it work.

Here is a pic of the pond.

John - The pump will work okay for your application especially since you have 24 ft of depth. Pump has enough pressure to easily get ample air to the diffuser at 24ft. Main disadvantage to that particular pump is it will be fairly noisey (because it is a piston model) and it has fairly high hp so it will consume more electricity than a 1/3 hp rocking piston compressor which produces similar pressure and cfm at 24 ft. Since the pond looks new,m and is just 3/4 ac and pump produces 4+cfm at 24 ft, you may be able get by with operation of the pump for 10 to 12 hrs per day (maybe 2, 6 hr periods/d)instead of 24/7.

Thank you Bill I will keep this in mind, I am also thinking about a couple of systems on ebay. You are right it is a new pond, the first time I stocked the pond my fish died. So now I am waiting on test results for the water and pond bottom to try and figure out what happend. In the mean time I know I want a areator so I figured I would go ahead and get one. Thank you for all the help.
