Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Would this work for aeration?

A lot depends on the pressure drop across the diffuser as well. Pressure drop will increase with flow rate.

Example, the normal operating pressure of my system this time of year is 14 psig. I have one 4 stick membrane diffuser operating in 4 feet of water at about 2 cfm. The line to the compressor is 3/8 for about 60 feet. Line size and length are also factors to consider for pressure drop. So for me, a 10 psig max pressure compressor would not work with my current setup and air flow.
