Ted, sorry I didn't respond to your post back when you posted it. I must have missed it when you posted it. I was reading old posts trying to figure out when I should turn my aeration back on when I came across it. To answer your question my compressor is a Sweetwater AQ7, it is rated at 10 psi, I checked the pressure gauge on my pump and it is reading about 5 psi. The thing is I have two of the air diffusers shut off for the winter and I have one running in about five foot of water that is close to the end of my pond just to keep the ice off of it. I was looking at the AES web site and it looks like the compressor I have is only rated for 18' like you recommended. Since I have the two diffusers shut off I assume when I turn them back on and pump the air to 25' it will exceed the 10 psi recommendation. I have a buoy tied to the air diffuser so it shouldn't be too big of job to pull it up and relocate it. I have a pretty heavily stocked pond, will I lose any benefits of aerating by putting the diffuser in shallower water? I would hate to purchase another pump but if I did I suppose I could use the 10 psi pump for shallower water and the new one for the deeper parts of the pond. The 25� depth only covers about � acre of the pond. Also any recommendations on turning the air on to the other two diffusers? Any help, suggestions, comments will be appreciated. Thank you, Joe Street.
