Keith, yes, I agree with your theory. Problem is that after 5+ months of 24/7 aeration (since this past May), the consensus is that the turbidity has pretty much remained constant. It's actually reduced a little, now that it's gotten colder. One more piece of information: our lake is surrounded by many deciduous trees. So we do have a significant leaf load falling into the lake during autumn, with little recourse to reduce this.
That said, I'm wondering what others (with similar ponds) have experienced. Does the turbidity increase/decrease or remain the same after 1,2,...X years of aeration from the lake bed? Is there no change over time? Just curious what to expect, if anything.
Thanks
