OK, that's the CFM rating. That is only one part of the equation. Since every foot of water depth that the diffuser is placed needs 1/2 psi of pressure to overcome the water column pressure, at what psi is that 5.2 cfm rating at?

For instance, if your pond is 10' deep, your compressor should pump 1 cfm at 6 psi to get a good bubble plume from the diffuser disc. Yes, the disc says 1/2 cfm minimum to work, but that's just that - a minimum.
