Not knowing the condition before as I did buy both of my pumps off Ebay. The first pump was run 24/7 for five years. It still pumped air to 12 feet and 16 feet where our stations live.

Our pond is just under an acre but very deep with 1 million gallons. In the summer after ice out we run it 12/7. The two Vertex disks will turn the pond over so well that it will super heat the water to equal the air temp. After we get the temp to 55 we run it at night for 12 hours 7 days week.

I now have our second pump on it. We will run it until we start to see the boil calm down from what we normally see.
