Pond Boss Forums AERATION Should I aerate? Aerator cleaning reminder

That's a great point, Bill D, thanks!

Although I wonder if in my case one was counteracting the other as my pressure gauge always stayed at 5 psi. Getting back-pressure from the dirty diffusers (pressure up), along with a worn compressor (pressure down)?

After rebuilding and reinstalling the pump, the pressure gauge read 9 psi. Then after cleaning the diffusers it's back down to 5 psi.
