Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Some Aeration Better Than No Aeration?

I'll offer some thoughts about this question until our aeration experts chime in.

I am of the opinion that an undersized unit is of little benefit. I looked at a nice-sized lake that has a seriously undersized unit on it. We checked oxygen levels and found that the lake was still stratified and, even though we could smell some gasses being released via the bubble plume, most of the lake was unaffected. About two weeks later the lake turned over and acted as though it had no aeration at all. That landowner was lucky that he didn't lose any fish.
