I have perhaps a really ignorant question and about to humiliate myself.... so please forgive my ignorance in advance.
My pond is roughly 1000-1200' from my garage back in the corner of my woods. Running electricity back there is not an option. Solar or windmill is not an option either. I just cant afford or don't want to spend more than a few hundred dollars to aerate my pond.
What I am wanting to do is simply run an air-line of some type from my garage back through the field to my pond. I have a trenchdigger so I will be burying this air-line a couple of feet through the field. (This field gets planted, gotta get under all that)
I have a 4hp air-compressor with a tank in my garage that I want to use to push air back there. Would this type of home-made rigged system work?
I realize aerating is a delicate process and it is possible to mess up a pond. Right now I just want to focus on getting some type of homemade system rigged up to get an air-line back there. I figure once I get the line layed, I can go from there and if this goofy sears air-compressor wont work, I can then invest in a pump or something and keep it in the garage and running....
Pumping air is pumpin air I guess sums up my question? Perhaps a designated aerator pump is more efficient is the only difference...?
