With a deluge of rain/runoff last night the pond is up 3-4' and at full pool, looks like a debris field and muddy as,,,, well chocolate soup.

Would leaving the system on allow the particles to stay suspended longer, or would shutting down the aeration system for a few days (or more) speed up the process for it to settle?

Recap: 2 acres, 80% 5' deep, 20% 9'. 1 deep diffuser, 3 shallow (all dual membrane Vertex).

Advantages, disadvantages, ideas, input?

Thanks in advance!
