This little compressor that I have running is just meant to condition the water in the winter. It took just one day of running under the ice to get rid of bad odor and color. Treating a larger part of the bay would probably require much higher volume at low pressure. I sm looking at a ring blower with an output of 42 cu ft per min @85"water column.This will be expensive to run so,as I stated before, I plan to operate it 12 hours per day to take advantage of the lowest electricity rates. I also only plan to operate it when biologic activity is the highest. [june through august[ Now back to the original question.During the 12 hours that the blower is turned off,will the aerobic bacteria die off? Would the result be better if the blower were run 24 hours per day for the same number of hours per year?
P.S.I have been looking for line resistance charts and they are hard to find. Any links available?
