Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Soaker Hose

I'll admit I'm getting a little lost on this thread. To summarize what I think I know:

FF's pond is .18 acres in size and 4 to 6 feet deep. There is an existing 1 HP Kasco aerator in the pond. The aerator link provided depicts what I think is the style aerator discussed several months back here on the forum as an alternative to bottom diffuser aeration for shallow ponds. I can't remember which member brought the topic up but I seem to recall it is an aerator designed by a well known pond guy or fisherman and is capable of moving water to 10 feet depth (I think). One downside is it takes a large motor to move the water making it more expensive to operate than an air bottom diffuser. Does anybody remember more about this aerator or discussion?

Anyway, I don't see why FF needs more equipment over what he already has unless he wants to maybe save money on electric. As Bill C. pointed out, he may not need aeration at all. I would think he can always use his Kasco for short periods of time as all he needs to move is 300,000 gallons of water to turn the pond once.

I suspect I am missing a key point or two in this discussion. What am I missing?
