Pond Boss Forums AERATION Should I aerate? aeration in winter

That is true. Will the difference in temperature be enough offset the gains/losses in the different O2 levels?

Lets take summer aeration.

A pond owner is wanting to keep trout alive for a longer length of time into the summer months, so they want to keep the water temp below 70 degrees, to help keep the DO high enough to keep the trout alive. Will aerating at night when ambient temps are below 70 be enough of a difference between aerating during the day when ambient temps are 80 to keep trout alive longer, or will not aerating at all work better, i.e. allow the trout to live longer?

In the winter, if a pond is aerated on a 10�F day vs. a 25�F day, for the same amount of time, what will the temp difference of the water be?
