I run mine on a timer too. Right now in the spring I run it in the day from 7am till 4pm. In the summer after the water is at 60 I then run it at night 2am to 7am as well.

I was running it 24/7 and found that there was little air bubbles on the rocks all around the shore. Bill suggested to run the aerator on a timer because I was over aerating it. Much less FA after and the bubbles went away. The pond is young so it didn't need all the air and it is much healthier on the timer.

Cheers Don.
