I did a quick search and this is what I came up whick directly fits my pond issues 1/4 acre 11 foot deep right now 2-3 foot low.
Quit aeration once surface temp is around 45.
Can move the diffuser to shallows around 2 foot deep to keep ice opened up. Not sure if I need to worry about it around here the winters have been mild lately.
I am aerating 24/7 right now and have been for the entire spring summer season.
The muck removing process is greatly slowed in low water temps. wont help in the winter
I could super cool my pond if I leave the diffuser in the deepest part of the pond.
I was going to leave it on all winter but after doing a search I am not certain now.
Like I said are winters have been pretty mild and I live just east of KC, what are you guys thoughts about it, everything is really clicking right now so I dont want to screw something up.
