Pond Boss Forums AERATION Should I aerate? Winter Aeration

Bill, I agree with you. That's what I do with my own pond, but for some reason the majority of my clients with aeration systems are the "hands off" type.

In my pond, here's what I do:

Turn off the winter diffuser when the ice melts in the Spring. Turn on the summer diffuser when water temps are in the low 50's. Turn off summer diffuser when water temps drop into the low 50's and then fire up the winter diffuser when ice forms.
