Good point IMO. I have a problem with spending $s on electricity to bleed off air though (I did that last winter). FWIW on the advice of one of the pros, I just turned off the deep water diffuser and now full flow goes to the winter diffuser (shallow water). It was sized originally to take the full compressor flow. Now I will be bringing the deep water summer diffuser on line when the water warms. I use my winter diffuser year round. I know the winter diffuser still works fine at the reduced flow during the summer. For this winter, full flow through the winter diffuser blows a bigger hole faster than a small winter diffuser with reduced flow. Working well so far.
