FYI - an aeration system will not control nor likely reduce much the weeds, algae and grass. But it will improve overall water quality and pond health. Plants grow because of accumulated nutrients (enrichment) and muck. Digesting some of the muck could release some more nutrients that were bound in the muck. If the water is clear as in visibility of 3-5ft then light reaching the depths stimulates plant growth on the bottom. For plant control learn what plant species are growing and then manage them appropriately manually (removal), biologically (grass crap & or tilapia), chemically herbicides, algaecides, & dyes, or use a diligent fertilization program to reduce water clarity.
