Pond Boss Forums AERATION Should I aerate? Winter Aeration

Running an aerator 24/7/365 will help slow down the eutrophication process. Especially if the pond is deep enough that a thermocline sets up, or if the pond is deep enough that the dissolved oxygen level drops near the bottom of the pond.

Up here, I'll switch my clients aeration system over from deep diffusers to shallow diffusers when the water temps are in the 40's to low 50's. I'll switch them back in the spring at the same water temp.

That way I don't have to go through the 15 minute per day doubling that every day start-up procedure in the spring.
