Hello,

Below is the setup I have. Obviously the brown is our house, red is underground electrical that we ran for an aeriator, and pink is where we want the lines to go. The grey box is the actual aeriator system. The pond is full, so imagine it full based on the pic. It is about 3-4 acres. The longer narrow section is about 25 ft deep and about 80-100 ft wide. We are thinking of putting 2 smaller diffusers out there and one larger one in the bigger section. Is this setup possible? Any recommendations? I know nothing about aeriators, so feel free to explain smile

The aeriator system has not been purchased. The only thing in the picture that actually is in place is the house and the underground electrical. This is kinda what I had in mind, but I don't know much about this stuff.

Thanks

Go to the Pond Boss homepage and click on Resource Guide. There you will find a link to aeration and vendors. http://www.pondboss.com/Resources?lci=1
I like Vertex. Contact them and discuss your project. They will answer all your questions.

That looks like it would work, I would put 2 fusers on each station though if it were me for a total of 6 fusers. 9in diameter fine bubble fusers. Vertex makes a good fuser. There are number of pumps you could go with I'll let someone else tell you all about them depending on depth. How deep is it in the 2 main areas?

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

Thank you for the replies!

Both areas about about 20-25 ft deep. The long narrow one drops off very quickly from the edges and the larger one has more of a bowl build where it slowly goes down then flattens out at the bottom. The part that connects them is probably only about 10-12 ft deep

Looks pretty cool!! Some others should be along soon to maybe help you out a little more down the aeration road. Sounds like your started in the right direction though...
