Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions How to suspend diffusers at half height.

Ummm....... In my 18' deep, 1 ac pond, with a bottom diffusion system, set to run at night, only when ambient temps were below 70�F, destratified my pond in less than 2 weeks and my RBT died. Temps top to bottom were in the mid 70's.

I had RBT live almost 4 weeks longer by not aerating at all the next year. Surface water temps were in the low 80's.

I had a client that kept RBT alive until the end of July in his 7' deep pond by using a combination of bottom diffusion systems AND a Kasco surface agitator. O2 levers were at saturation down to the pond bottom. RBT were still alive in 76�F water due to the high O2 levels. That's roughly 5-6 more degrees than thought possible.

Another plug for Sue here too.
