Looking to get my aeration system together and looking for advice. I currently have a 1/4 acre pond w/max depth of 8'. This fall will be digging another 1/4 acre with depth of 18' and cleaning up current pond. I want to do a DIY aeration system. The pump choices I am leaning towards are the Gast and Teich-Aire.

My questions are: Which pump would one recommend over the other and why? What size (hp) pump of either brand would you suggest and how many diffusers per pond to turn the water. My thoughts are a 1/4hp of either pump and (1) 9" EDI FlexAir in each pond. But this is all on just the reading I have done.

Suggestions, Advice?

Thank you in advance.
